“The action of the child inventing a new game with his playmates; Einstein formulating a theory of relativity; the housewife devising a new sauce for the meat, a young author writing his first novel; all of these are in terms of definition, Creative, and there is no attempt to set them in some order of more or less Creative.”
Quote by Carl Rogers

On becoming a person: a therapist's view of psychotherapy
This book outlines the philosophical and psychological framework developed by Rogers for what became known as person-centered therapy.

Rogers reflects on the nature of the self and the process through which individuals can develop greater authenticity and personal fulfillment. The text draws on his clinical experience and offers insights into the therapeutic process from the perspective of someone who fundamentally changed how psychotherapy is practiced and understood. more
