A Way of Being was written in the early 1980s, near the end of Carl Rogers's career, and serves as a coda to his classic On Becoming a Person. More personal and philosophical than his earlier writings, it traces his professional and personal development and ends with a person-centered prophecy, in which he predicts a future changing in the direction of more humaneness. Now, fifteen years later, the psychiatrist and best-selling author Dr. Irvin Yalom revisits A Way of Being, offering a contemporary view of this remarkable work.

This diary, under the title "My Trip to China," was written by
20-year old Carl Ransom Rogers during his six-moth journey to the
Far East in 1922. This never-before-published diary reveals
intimate details of the religious faith, cross-cultural
interactions, and emerging ideas on relationships leadership,
social injustice, and education of a man who was to become one of
te world's most influential psychologists. Within its pages readers
can share in the wonder of the journey that Rogers himself in his
later life called, "an absolutely mind-boggling experience." "The
narrative is so compelling and detailed that I could not put it
down" Maureen O'Hara, Ph.D.

The Martin Buber-Carl Rogers Debate offers a corrected and
extensively annotated version of this central text in human
sciences. Focusing on the sole meeting between these two central
figures in twentieth-century intellectual life, Anderson and Cissna
return to the original 1957 audio tape and to a variety of other
primary sources as they correct and clarify the historical record.
The authors highlight hundreds of errors, major and minor, in
previously distributed and published transcripts -- beginning with
the typescript circulated by Rogers himself. They also show how an
accurate text enhances our understanding of the relationship
between Buber's philosophy and Rogers's client- and person-centered
approach to interpersonal relations. Anderson and Cissna discuss
the central issues of the conversation, including the limits of
mutuality, approaches to "self", alternative models of human
nature, confirmation of others, and the nature of dialogic relation
itself. Although Buber and Rogers conversed nearly forty years ago,
their topics clearly resonate with contemporary debates about
postmodernism, forms of otherness, cultural studies, and the
possibilities for a dialogic public sphere.
