Ned Gaylin received his PhD from the University of Chicago, Committee on Human Development, with a specialty in clinical child and family psychology. He became Professor at the University of Maryland and directed the graduate program in Marriage and Family Therapy.

He writes about the very essence of the Person-Centred Approach with consummate ease and strolls up to what could have been a real problem with this book: can you have a Person-Centred Approach to the family? His step scarcely falters as he begins to outline one of the central themes of his book (and of all our work?) which is that our individuality is achieved/defined/made visible in our relationships and, to borrow a Natiello-ism in our 'connections'... This book is like an oyster. It contains many, many pearls. Nick Baker, St Martins College, Lancaster.
