Relationships
"No matter how genuine a relationship may be, there
will always be stresses and storms" - Clark Moustakas
The
Interpersonal Relaionship - by Carl R. Rogers
Continuing our reproduction of
excerpts from the works of Carl Rogers, thanks to the
free resources made available by the Centre for
Studies of the Person at La Jolla, Califorfnia, we
hope this choice will meet with the approval of our
readers.
Of these excerpts, Rogers has
remarked . . . "I have asked myself
how individuals sharply different in personality,
orientation and procedure can all be effective in a
helping relationship, can each be successful in
facilitating constructive change or development, I have
concluded that it is because they bring to the helping
relationship certain attitudinal ingredients. It is
these that I hypothesize as making for effectiveness,
whether we are speaking of a guidance counselor, a clinical psychologist, or a psychiatrist."
