This book by Dr. Carl R. Rogers and his colleague, Harold Lyon, and Reinhard Tausch, "father of German Person-Centered psychology, is the last of the writings by the famed Rogers, named by the American Psychological Assoc. as "the Most influential psychologist in American History."
This pioneering textbook is highly relevant to educational psychologists and researchers, as well as those in undergraduate and graduate university courses in education, teacher training, counseling, psychology, and educational psychology. The dialogues between Rogers and Lyon offer a unique and timeless perspective on teaching, counseling, and learning. The principal findings of the research in this book show that teachers and schools can significantly improve their effectiveness through programs focusing on facilitative interpersonal relationships. Teachers who either naturally have, or are trained to have empathy, genuineness (congruence), and who prize their students (positive regard), create an important level of trust in the classroom and exert significant positive effects on student outcomes, including higher achievement scores, interpersonal functioning, self-concept, attendance, and eliminating violence.
