Barbara Temaner Brodley

Barbara Temaner Brodley’s (1932 – 2007) graduate teaching, consultation, international workshop presentations and publications have established her as one of the foremost authorities on the theory and practice of client-centered therapy. Brodley received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in Clinical Psychology and Human Development.  At the University of Chicago Counseling and Psychotherapy Research Center, she worked with contemporaries of Carl R. Rogers, including John Shlien, Fred Zimring and Nat Raskin.  Barbara’s writings and her work as a therapist and educator continue to have a profound influence on contemporary practitioners and theorists of the client-centered approach to therapy, which honors the creative, resilient, self-realizing capacities of persons.
