Description
Carl R. Rogers (1902-1987), a founder of the humanistic psychology movement, is one of the most influential American psychologists of the 20th century. His impact on education, counseling, psychotherapy, conflict resolution, and peace is unparalleled. He created a profound and fundamental shift in the fields of psychology and human relations. His deep belief that each person has worth, dignity, and the capacity for self-direction was counter to the pervading thought of his day. In order to fully understand and appreciate his impact, it is important to know what experiences shaped his life and what influences directed his thinking. Carl Rogers: The Quiet Revolutionary is a unique kind of autobiography that explores all these aspects of his life, and more, through a series of interviews. The result is a lively account in Rogers' own words of the peaks and valleys of both his professional and personal life. He describes his early life, his family, his schooling, and his intellectual development, and includes the early development of person-centered therapy, "The Therapeutic Hour" and his extensive efforts to reduce international tension through his work in northern Ireland, South Africa, and Central America ("The Peace Project").
