Way of Being

Written by the founder of humanistic psychology, Rogers traces his personal and professional life from the 1960s to the 1980s, and offers new insights into client-centered therapy.
The late Carl Rogers, founder of the humanistic psychology movement and father of client-centered therapy, based his life's work on his fundamental belief in the human potential for growth. A Way of Being, more personal and philosophical than his earlier writings, was written in the early 1980s, near the end of his distinguished career. This unique collection traces his professional and personal development from the sixties to the eighties and ends with a person-centered prophecy in which Rogers calls for a more humane future.
