Becoming the Person You Can Become

Overview

Drawing from the humanistic traditions of Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, and Eugene Gendlin, this guide presents a method for tapping emotions as a vehicle for personal growth. Psychologist Alvin Mahrer’s self-guided program is not in opposition to traditional therapy but rather complements it. By combining meditation with experiential therapy, the author takes readers through a process of self-transformation to develop their unique potential. He offers a set of simple, effective techniques to cast off the remnants of past experience and achieve creative growth and change.
