On Becoming a Person: A Therapist's View of Psychotherapy

I liked how the author is humble yet very knowledgeable in his approach.

There is a reason why there is only a few % points of negative reviews for this book. Anyone who thinks that this book is outdated is sadly mistaken and doesn’t fully understand the context of what it means. I read (Rastus Mctavish) that this book eludes to suppressing and avoiding problems when it’s doing that exact opposite. It tries to glean to you that you on your own have to push through problems with the help of a Sherpa. Not solve your problems for you. I’ve had many sessions of therapy and have taken years to bring up or talk about things that another would talk about in session one. Wake up.

When I ordered this book, I knew it was an old books, so I expected a book that was beat up, but this book came to me in great condition. All pages were here and none were wrinkled or torn or scribbled on. Clean and crisp. The binding is still intact and good. The seller was great! Even sent a little hand written note to me thanking me for buying it and wishing me well! Will definitely order from this seller again next time I have a need! (The highlighter marks are mine, all the pages were clean when I got the book.)

Carl Rogers is great. 4 stars because contains great ideas.Took off one star because he rambles on and on.If you are interested in psychology, the key is to recognize patterns of psychotherapy.The Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, David Burns school is positive and optimistic which is helpful to people.People need hope and meaning to be energized and happy.

Read this book for my courses CBT and Life Coaching and I would advise it to others doing any similar courses/studies.

Bought this for my 18 year old Son. My older Brother, his a Uncle highly recommends this book and is currently reading it with him.

Rogers's introspective style can make for a slow start, but you soon get caught up in his sophisticated yet plainly stated view of psychotherapy. This is one of his later works, after some refinments in his methods and the adoption of the "person-centered" orientation. This book represents a distillation of the ideas that transformed the counseling profession forever.

It a amazing book

This is an excellent book. Informative and interesting. It requires concentrated reading, but is worth the effort. I intend to continue with Client Centred Therapy by the same author.

I find reading this book theraputic and meaningful.

This book gives great insights on how to hold space, how to create a relationship of growth, he writes about it mostly from a psychotherapeutic point of view but it applies to any relationship: 1:1 and group. The book is packed with other insights: psychological fixity vs flow, the implications of behavioral sciences, etc. Highly recommend.

Vorrei cercare di migliorare me stesso e gli altri

Good condition
