Revue de presse :

'I couldn't put it down. I kept jumping from one part of the book to another and getting absorbed in the close research and the wonderful detail. I know the book took years to research, and now I can see why. Even reading the footnotes is absorbing'. --Dave Mearns, Retired Professor of Counselling, Strathclyde University

This book is absolutely essential reading for understanding Carl Rogers' achievements, humanity and frailties. It is of real interest to all therapists and educationalists where his writing and practice has been so influential-full of fascinating insights into his life and thinking. This book is the definitive biography of this leading figure whose influence in contemporary society extends so much further than person-centred therapy and psychology for which he is best known. --Professor Tim Bond, University of Bristol, Past Chair, British Association of Counselling

The Life and Work of Carl Rogers is a welcome addition to the literature. Nearly thirty years after the appearance of On Becoming Carl Rogers, Kirschenbaum's new biography not only covers the last ten years of Rogers life, but also puts that extraordinary life and work into the kind of perspective that only time and maturity can provide. This is an outstanding resource and a must read for mental health students and professionals and for the lay public. --Elke Lambers, Chair, World Association for Person-Centred and Experiential Psychotherapy and Counseling

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Twenty years after his death, PCCS Books celebrates the life and work of Carl Rogers with the long-awaited second edition of the much-acclaimed biography by Howard Kirschenbaum, On Becoming Carl Rogers. This completely re-written and re-titled edition extends to over 700 pages and includes a more detailed personal and professional history, an evaluation of the Wisconsin years and a full account of the last decade of Rogers life. The years that followed the publication of the first edition of Carl Rogers biography in 1979 turned out to be one of the most important periods of his career. Until now this work has not been widely known. Now, more than a quarter of a century after the first edition, Kirschenbaum has added deeper understanding of Rogers contributions to psychology, the helping professions and society. On a personal level, access to recently revealed private papers tells us much more about Carl Rogers the man than was known to many of his closest associates. Brought to us by a masterly biographer whose own understanding of Carl Rogers, psychotherapy, education, and the human condition has matured over the intervening years. This much-anticipated second edition reflects a wiser and more balanced perspective of his subject. Now fully referenced, this is The Life and Work of Carl Rogers no more, no less.
