A Therapist's View of Personal Goals by Carl R. Rogers
The questions of life's goals and purposes viewed by a humanist psychotherapist.
I'm inspired by the very human approach Rogers advocates for psychological therapy, education, and society. He would rather have people come together as equals in a co-learning process of growth, than engage in the defeating practice of a hierarchical relationship in which "truth" is transmitted from superior to inferior. This book brings together a variety of essays, book excerpts, and lectures which help survey his work and thought.
First published in 1967, this dated psychology book is easy to read and provides a good understanding of Rogers' client-based approach to psychotherapy. Where I feel the book falls down is that it wasn't actually written as a book but instead is a medley of articles, lectures from various institutes, and parts of other books; and so at times it can be quite repetitive. Towards the end of the book, it did become more diverse as the techniques were applied to education, family groups, creativity, communication and politics. I was intrigued by the student-centred approach to teaching. The last part of the book was on Behavioural therapy, mostly relating to Burrhus Frederic Skinner (and his book Walden Two).… (more)
Got through 70% of it. I like much of what Rogers has to say but sometimes a book has to be relevant to your current problems or interests to be worth the read. Currently, not worth more time spent on it.
I do recommend it for any aspiring therapists.
