Description
Howard Kirschenbaum, has been working on an on-going project on the life and work of Carl Rogers (1902-1987) -- the father of the client-centered approach to psychotherapy. Kirschenbaum, an internationally known expert on, and interpreter of Rogers’ work, has published the first authorized Rogers biography, On Becoming Carl Rogers (Delta Press, 1979), and co-edited A Carl Rogers Reader with Valerie L. Henderson (Houghton Mifflin, 1989).

In 2003, The American Counseling Association and Insight Media began distribution of a video Kirschenbaum produced, “Carl Rogers and the Person-Centered Approach.” The 65-minute presentation contains audio and video clips of Rogers working with individual clients and groups, and more than 100 photographs and other images, and will be used to introduce Rogers to undergraduate and graduate students of psychology and counseling.
