Books like Client-Centered Therapy: Its Current Practice, Implications and Theory

I'd read bits and pieces of this book over the last 12 months in order to get references for essays. Having those snippets of Rogers' thoughts was useful, but I felt a duty to read from cover-to-cover the foundational work of the person-centred approach if I was serious in training to be a counsellor. So, during the summer break, that's what I've done and found it definitely worthwhile.It took me a while to get through, not because I found it difficult or boring, but because it was thought-provoking and challenging. Many times I've had to put the book down to work through a chain of thought, to reflect upon my own values and ways of being (forgive the in-reference). If I had some of the bricks for an edifice of a person-centred way of being, I think this provides the mortar. Now all I need to do is build something!
