Synopsis

This collection of the work of John Shlien is exactly what the subtitle says: 'an invitation to think about client-centered therapy and the person-centered approach'. It features John's best-known work alongside some lesser-know papers and a handful of hitherto unpublished essays. John Shlien was one of the most influential of Carl Rogers' students and associates, as a writer, researcher and academic. With a witty, provocative style as a writer and speaker, John was an insightful commentator and creative theorist, able to provoke vigorous debate wherever he went. This collection gives the reader a chance to sample the breadth of his ideas.

Media Reviews
The title comes for one of Shlien's statements: - 'however appealing and benevolent happiness may be, I do not consider if to be a worthy ultimate objective of therapy or life. Instead I believe that the most important objective in modern civilization is: how to lead an honorable life' - There is a lot of inspiration in this book and I would thoroughly recommend it to practitioners from the diploma student to the most experienced trainer. Geoff Lamb, neuroscientist and body therapist, Self and Society, Dec 2006.
Author Bio
John Shlien (1918 - 2002) was a student, colleague and friend of Carl Rogers at the University of Chicago from the late 1940s. He moved to Harvard in 1967 as Professor of Education and Counseling Psychology. Although dedicated to 'pure' Client-Centered Therapy, his career was marked by interdisciplinary projects at Harvard and he published many influential papers and chapters on a wide variety of topics in psychology, counseling and psychotherapy over nearly 50 years.
