Gesprächspsychotherapie. Verändern durch Verstehen

This book presents an introduction to the client-centred psychotherapy developed by Carl Rogers. Many elements of this have found their way into other treatment approaches, but they often undergo a considerable change of meaning in the process. The elements include a positive view of human beings, resource orientation and the outstanding importance given to the therapeutic relationship. This tenth edition therefore once again emphasizes the presentation of the original conception of client-centred psychotherapy, concentrating on the therapeutically effective relationship in which clients feel that they are being accepted in their experience of themselves, sympathetically understood and not evaluated.
