Why is it important?
Hypotheses on obstacles to a widespread and popular person centered approach: mistaken idea of tolerance, reluctance to making oneself visible as a person. What to do to make Carl Rogers' "quiet revolution" louder or to help it to "grow up".
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure and it has already led to persons contacting me and discussing their ideas of the PCA. As our being in the world of today is THE issue for everybody, I do hope to provide enthusiasm for the PCA with its conception of the human being, the paradigm of 'the person' and the idea of relation involved, for Carl Rogers' original radical concept that does not need any modification for the 21st century, but adjustments in living the concept.
