- Title
A CRITIQUE OF THE THEORETICAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF NON-DIRECTIVE THERAPY.
- Authors
Ellis, Albert
- Abstract
The article presents information on a critique of the theoretical contributions of non-directive therapy. Although non-directive therapists may have only recently rediscovered this point, it has been basic to virtually every other major kind of therapy for many decades. This an excellent statement of an important aspect of the dynamics of psychotherapy; the one serious flaw being that the term "client-centered therapy" is meant only to include "non-directive" therapy; and the implication being that all other kinds of therapy are non-client-centered and directive.
