  Carl Rogers was the psychiatrist who pioneered the practice of client-centred therapy, revolutionising the practice of psychotherapy, yet his own life was far from ideal. This biography explores his life - including his tortured marriage, his use of confidential information about his children's lives and his drinking - against the background of his work. The author draws heavily on the papers left by Rogers to the Library of Congress.
