Carl Rogers Counsels a Black Client: Race and Culture in Person-Centred Counselling

Carl Rogers Counsels a Black Client: Race and Culture in Person-Centred Counselling

by Colin Lago (Editor), Anissa Talahite (Editor), Anissa Talahite (Editor), Colin Lago (Editor), Roy Moodley (Author)

Synopsis

This book investigates and explores the issues of race and culture in 'a single case study' of one of Rogers' own demonstration films: Carl Rogers Counsels an Individual. Part 1: Right to be Desperate. Part 2: On Anger and Hurt, in order to generate multiple meanings of how person-centred therapy can be more inclusive of Black and ethnic minority clients. The films show a young Black man in a state of remission from leukaemia, in therapy with Carl Rogers. The emerging knowledge and innovative clinical practices that arise from the analysis in the various chapters are all ultimately concerned with multicultural and diversity issues in counselling and psychotherapy. The contributors, from a wide variety of therapeutic approaches and modalities, raise fundamental questions concerning the intersection of race, culture and ethnicity with the therapeutic process.

Media Reviews
This is an ambitious and courageous book - Though the starting point of the book is two brief interactions between two individuals, its scope is as broad as humanity. The book itself is a case study of intellectual honesty and racial sensitivity. It is the most important discussion of race, culture and ethnicity in the context of person-centred therapy ever written. Tony Merry, University of East London.
