Client-centered therapy crystallizes the great progress that has been made in the development of the techniques and basic philosophy of counselling. Rogers gives a clear exposition of procedures by which individuals who are being counselled may be assisted in achieving for themselves new and more effective personality adjustments.

This book is a mature presentation of the non-directive and related points of view in counselling and therapy. The final chapter presents a formal treatment of the psychological theory (the Nineteen Propositions) which is basic to the whole client-centered point of view, not only in counselling but in all interpersonal relations.
