Synopsis

In this companion volume to his well-received Embracing Non-directivity, Brian Levitt once again brings together an impressive international collection of Person-Centred writers. The actualizing tendency serves here as a catalyst for a diverse and thought-provoking collection of essays, each reflecting on various aspects of human potential within the context of Person-Centred theory and practice. These essays, while shedding further light on the Person-Centred Approach, also build bridges to the emerging discipline of Positive Psychology.
