| biography:
| Psychotherapist, born in Oak Park, Illinois, USA. He studied psychology at Columbia University Teachers College (1931), taught at Chicago University (1945–57), and produced the book Client-centered Therapy (1951). This form of psychotherapy led to open therapy sessions and encounter groups in which patients talk out their problems under the supervision of a passive therapist. He was also a notable pioneer in carrying out systematic evaluations of the efficacy of psychotherapy. He later became resident fellow at the Western Behavioral Science Institute (1964–8) and the Center for Studies of the Person, both at La Jolla, CA (1968–87). |
