## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great introduction to non-directive, client-centered helping!
*by R***D on January 18, 2018*

Person-Centered Psychotherapies, by David Cain, is an essential primer on client-centered non-directive therapy. Building on the extensive body of work contributed by Carl Rogers, Cain explicates the necessary and sufficient conditions for therapeutic personality change in layman’s language and illustrates their applications through brief therapy session examples..This volume is an essential, and perhaps foundational, contribution to the APA’s Theories of Psychotherapy Series. Cain invests significantly in explaining and justifying the first three of Rogers Necessary and Sufficient Conditions (empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence) ... including examples of research supporting effectiveness of the core conditions..Rogers redefined the nature of therapy with his belief that the “direction and locus of control in therapy were clearly centered in the person seeking help” (p. 11) ... that the therapy should be non-directive. Rogers’ assertion that therapist attitude had a stronger therapeutic impact than therapeutic technique positioned empathy and unconditional positive regard as essential elements of many other forms of therapy. (Congruence, while relevant, has not proven to be as significant an impact on therapeutic effectiveness.).Perhaps Cain’s greater contribution, beyond, summarizing Roger’s work, is his recommendations of Twelve Optimal Conditions for Constructive Therapeutic Change..Person-Centered Psychotherapies, by David Cain, is highly recommended for people in any of the helping professions. Though many helping professions do not strive toward therapeutic personality changes, all helping profession initiatives can be more effective when built on stronger relationships where those being helped are believed to have developable potential already within themselves. Particularly the principles of empathy and unconditional positive regard are highly relevant in every interpersonal relationship..
