Carl Rogers, mentor to Marshall Rosenberg

I am fascinated by the presence and genuineness of Dr. Carl Rogers, the psychotherapist who Marshall Rosenberg studied under as a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin in the 1960s.

When I was a graduate student in 2006 earning a degree in counseling psychology, we watched a video of Rogers working with a client as part of a groundbreaking film called, "Approaches to Psychotherapy" (1965).

Here is the 30-minute segment of Rogers working with the client, embodying empathy, congruence and prizing, the 3 components that Rogers taught were the important elements of relating to others.
