"Cain and Murphy's book is a master class on the development and diversity of person-centered psychotherapies. Trainee therapists and even more seasoned practitioners will find the case material and discussions of practice valuable in finding their own unique style and in understanding the continued relevance of Carl Rogers's radical and progressive ideas." - Stephen A. Joseph, PhD, Professor Emeritus, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom; author of The Humanistic Psychology of Carl Rogers: Understanding the Person-Centered Approach"I highly recommend this excellent book. You will be surprised by how much is new and how much the person-centered approach has to contribute to anyone who practices psychotherapy. Students and therapists from all persuasions will find this book insightful and illuminating. Students and therapists who want to practice integratively will particularly find it helpful." - Arthur Bohart, PhD, Adjunct Professor, Santa Clara University, Santa Clara, CA; Emeritus Professor, California State University Dominguez Hills, Carson, CA, United States
