He received his academic and professional training at the University of Wisconsin and Teachers College, Columbia University where he received his doctoral degree. He did his clinical internship at the Institute for Child Guidance, New York City.
For many years he was involved in clinical work with children, adolescents, and adults. First in Rochester, New York where he became director of the Rochester Guidance Center and then later at the University of Chicago where he established the Counseling Center of the University of Chicago. His major academic positions have been at Ohio State, University of Chicago, and now the University of Wisconsin where he is professor in both the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry. He has been active in professional societies, having served as president of the American Association for Applied Psychology, president of the American Psychological Association, president of the American Academy of Psychotherapists, and vice-president of the American Orthopsychiatric Association.
His major interest for many years has been in the field of counseling and psychotherapy, working on a practical level to develop an effective mode of helping individuals; on a research level to investigate objectively many aspects of the process of personality change and the conditions which facilitate it; and on the theoretical level to formulate a theory of therapy personality, and interpersonal relationships which seems to fit the observed facts.
In addition to many articles in professional and scientific journals he has written the following books: Measuring Personality Adjustment in Children, 1931 (out of print); The Clinical Treatment of the Problem Child, 1939; Counseling and Psycho-therapy, 1942; Counseling with the Returned Serviceman, (with John Wallen) 1945 (out of print); Client-Centered Therapy, 1951; Psychotherapy and Personality Change, (with Rosalind Dymond), 1954; On Becoming a Person, 1961.visualizza meno
