Product Description

Review
`I am impressed... Brian Thorne includes an interesting debate about criticisms made by Buber, May and others about Rogers' practice, and the influence they had on his practice... For me, Rogers came alive in this debate... useful for anyone interested in checking their understanding (and possible misunderstanding) about PCA and who wants an overview of "the state of the art" in the early 1990s' - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling

`Attractively written and very readable... A must for the branch bookshelf' - The Samaritan

`Thorne's account of Rogers is clear... his personal knowledge of Rogers informs the book' - British Journal of Medical Psychology

`This book will become a popular introductory text for students of Rogers' person-centred philosophy. It is a clear and comprehensive introduction to Carl Rogers - the man and his works... A healthy battle ensues between Criticisms and Rebuttals. Perhaps Rogers enjoyed such battles himself, as I did... Rogers' philosophy begins to feel more like a living dynamic entity... Throughout, the book presents a powerful picture of the revolutionary nature of Rogers' work and its continuing impact on the psychotherapeutic community' - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review

`A competent review... new elements consist of reviews of trends and selected, unpublished conference presentations' - Choice

`This book will become a popular introductory text for students of Rogers' person-centred philosophy. It is clear and comprehensive...

`Attractively written and very readable... A must for the branch bookshelf' - The Samaritan

Carl Rogers, the founder of person-centred therapy, was perhaps the most influential American psychologist and psychotherapist of this century. This book offers insights into Rogers' own life and development together with a clear exposition of his major theoretical ideas. A further feature is a detailed exploration of Rogers' actual way of working with clients as it has been recorded on audio-tape and film.

Brian Thorne also presents the controversial view that Rogers' profound influence on the development of counselling and psychotherapy throughout the world may owe much to the fact that he was a twentieth-century `secular' representative of a spiritual tradition which goes back centuries.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Introduction to Person Centred Counselling, 28 May 2001
By A Customer
Thorne's book Carl Rogers, is part biography and part discussion on the nature of person centred counselling.

The book is easy to follow and is particulary well written when Thorne's writes about the Core Conditions, which are the fundamental elements to Rogers' work. The biographical part of the book is superficial and rather unctuous and I find find Thorne's comparison of Rogers' work to those of Christian writers off-putting. A better biography of Rogers, is Carl Rogers by David Cohen.

Whilst this is a book worth reading I think there are better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book, 15 Feb 2009
This was an interesting book giving an overview of the historical development, principles and criticisms of Person Centred Counselling model. It details the processes that Rogers went through in developing his model. A bit rambling at points. My only criticism would be that (as Christian minister myself) I felt the rebuttals of the the criticisms of the model from Christian worldview were very weak and unconvincing - it felt as if the author had picked two theological topics (original righteousness & deification) which he thought rebutted the criticisms without actually thinking through if they did. Personally I am not sure if those two theological topics are an adequate rebuttal of the Christian criticisms of the model. If you are looking for a more in depth discussion of the criticisms of the model by Christianity then look elsewhere. Overall, though a good introduction to how the Person Centred Counselling model came about.
