An edited collection of works by this extraordinary practitioner and brilliant theoretical writer. Barbara Temaner Brodley's writings will serve several audiences: novice client-centered therapists who want to learn how to do client-centered therapy; anyone who wants to learn the first steps of how to be with a client; experienced client-centered therapists who are aware of the depth and complexity of this approach and want to continue exploring theoretical and practice issues; educators who want to teach a clear distillation of Rogers' theory and practice in relation to other theories and practices.

Historical bibliography
Barbara had the extraordinary ability to bring clarity to fundamental concepts of client-centered therapy that had become blurred by developments in the field. These writings are a precious source of guidance and inspiration for practitioners and scholars in person-centered therapy and an essential resource for trainees.

Barbara Brodley was a passionate and dedicated client centered therapist, supervisor and teacher for over fifty years until her death in 2007. She was interested in, and energised by the theory and practice of client centered therapy (CCT), and contributed enormously to our understanding of applications of the theory. Her enlivened interest in the Approach is evident in her book, which offers a wonderful collection of her writings ranging from her personal thoughts and journey, through complex theoretical issues, to detailed and valuable help for students and newly qualified practitioners of CCT… Whilst it is evident that Barbara loved to discuss and teach this therapeutic approach, and her book is a tribute to her enthusiasm for it, and for her advocacy for the discipline of this way of relating, there is something inspirational and aspirational for me in her words, ‘When in the relationship with a client I feel free, spontaneous and very happy.’Sue Wilders, Person-Centred Quarterly, October 2011.
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.
