Timeless Teachings from the Therapy Masters

This book guides readers on their personal path to effective psychotherapy with theories and methods from masters who represent the art and science of humanistic psychotherapy at its best. Gives a personal perspective from early founders and proponents of humanistic methods. For each of these founding fathers, the book includes a personal interview, a theory section, and an extensive set of exercises to help readers integrate the teachings into their own practice. These innovative teachers (Jerome D. Frank, MD, Ph.D., John C. Whitenorn MD, Carl Rogers Ph.D., Arthur Combs Ph.D., Milton H. Erickson MD, G. Wilson Shaffer Ph.D.) come from different backgrounds (medical doctors, psychologists, counselors, and hypnotists) and yet they walked on common ground in their belief therapy is most effective when therapists treat their patients and clients as persons first.

It should be mandatory reading for all who practice or study psychotherapy." -Lawrence Ryan Ph.D., Vice President and Academic Dean St. Johns Seminary College.Simpkins, C.
