CARL ROGERS IN DIALOGUE WITH MARTIN BUBER: A NEW ANALYSIS. PDF
Kenneth N. Cissna, University of South Florida and Rob Anderson, Saint Louis University
Carl Rogers was renowned for his work as a psychotherapist and facilitator. During his life, he engaged in a series of fascinating public dialogues with a number of other noted intellectuals (see Kirschenbaum & Henderson, 1989). In this essay, we summarize our studies of one of these remarkable conversations-an instance of what Michael Oakeshott (1975) aptly termed an ."'unrehearsed intellectual adventure" (p. 75)-between Carl Rogers and the philosopher of dialogue Martin Buber.
This 1957 public conversation was significant because through Rogers's writings, especially following this meeting, many thousands of readers in the United States were introduced to Buber's thought. In addition, the dialogue was a critical incident in the careers of both Buber and Rogers. Although it has been cited often to distinguish their approaches to dialogue, all previous commentators have assumed that Buber and Rogers were on equal footing and ignore the communicative process of the meeting in favor of analyzing its content.

ROGERS' LATE CONCEPTUALIZATION OF THE FULLY FUNCTIONING INDIVIDUAL: CORRESPONDENCES AND CONTRASTS WITH BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY PDF
Jan I. Harman, Ph.D. The City College of New York.
ABSTRACT. In the last decade of his life, Rogers' conceptualization of the fully functioning individual, first fully described in 1961, was broadened to encompass new discoveries about the nature of human physical potentialities and of the physical universe. Rogers (1980) endeavored to describe the "person of tomorrow" who would live in an era when inner exploration of psychological capacities would commonly include meditative and other means of altering states of consciousness for purposes of enhanced self-understanding and physical well-being. He pointed out some correspondences between his then-nascent conceptions of new dimensions in psychic potential and models from Eastern traditions, and reprinted earlier, explicit references to Buddhist and Taoist principles as resonant with his views. Correspondences and contrasts between person-centered and traditional Buddhist psychological theories and the respective phenomenological realities they describe are explored here in greater detail. Finally, methodological approaches to becoming a more fully functioning individual through person-centered therapeutic and meditative practices are compared.

NOTES ON STUDYING LARGE GROUP WORKSHOPS PDF
John Keith Wood, Ph.D.
ABSTRACT. Human beings often inflict pain on one another for the flimsiest of reasons, including "trying to do good. " Under such pretenses, we continue to destroy others and even ourselves. But, we can also care for (even love) one another. We can create beauty, better ourselves and life in general. Were this not so, we would have no thoughts to consider today. These notes pose questions and observations that, at best, might lead to informing our constructive side and lead to improving our understanding of ourselves, our relationships, our groups.
