The late Carl Rogers, founder of the humanistic psychology movement, revolutionized psychotherapy with his concept of "client-centered therapy." His influence has spanned decades, but that influence has become so much a part of mainstream psychology that the ingenious nature of his work has almost been forgotten.

With a new introduction by Peter Kramer, this landmark book is a classic in its field and a must-listen for anyone interested in clinical psychology or personal growth.

His chapter on listening in chapter 17 was excellent. His message about listening was similar to the Gottman-Rapoport intervention on listening shared by John Gottman in his couples counseling.

Thank you Mr. Rogers (Carl).
Wonderful to listen to this classic in its entirety.
Easy to listen to, nice presentation Mr. Joe Hempel. Though I did find it better at 1.25 speed... and , admittedly, X2 through some of the research-science material...

As a Counseling profession Graduate student I SO MUCH prefer reading the actual material if Carl Rogers than a Journal article or textbook talking about what someone else “ thought-thinks” of C.R.
Thank you Audible 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Before this book I read The Master Key System. Truthfully, that book sounded like voodoo spirituality, but it works. Mow I understand why through Carl Roger’s teachings. Most interesting for me, are the fact that these characters are unrelated to each other but speak on the same ‘internal world’ within us. This is going a long way to my development as a person.

Be patient; it builds while educating you. The narrator takes his time with analytical language, so make sure you hold on. it all comes together at the end.
