Overview

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to get up close and personal with the man named the single most influential psychotherapist of the past quarter-century. In this historic interview with Carl Rogers, filmed just two years before he passed away, the founder of the person-centered approach reflects on his major contributions and explores his provocative opinions on a wide range of topics including therapy, education, and social change.

With thoughtfulness, authenticity, and humility, Rogers shares himself in such a way that viewers really get a sense of who he is as a person, as he discusses a range of topics, from how his early upbringing influenced the development of his person-centered approach to his peace-building work with Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland. Throughout the interview, his “way of being”—which is the heart of his approach—shines through, revealing a man who passionately believes in the goodness of human nature and cares deeply about contributing to a better world.

This video also features an original interview with Carl’s daughter, Dr. Natalie Rogers, who sits down with Victor Yalom and offers her unique reflections and perspectives on her father’s life and work.
