Ph.D, teacher at the university of Chicago.  His best seller

"On Becoming a Person" was published in 1966.

 The wide succes of his writings contibuted greatly to the renown of his work on nondirectiviy and

Helping Relationship.

My therapeutic approach is perfectly in tune with his work.

personal growth?"  CR

I deliberately place them side by side instead of opposing them, because these two pioneers of psychoanalysis have worked together for a long time and have allowed us a detailed exploration of the unconscious which sometimes reigns in our psyches like an invisible master to the detriment of our collective or individual consciousness.  For a long ti;e Jung was my main reference because he was more inclined to spirituality including a meticulous and extremely well-researched study of religions.  His work especially the one on the  Psychological Types  have become a reference in terms od personality tests such as developed by Isabel Briggs Myers widely

used in business trainings.

Pediatrician, psychoanalyst, emiment clinician, visionary theorist, he forged concepts widely used  today, transitional object and transitional phenomena, the game as a potential space, the good enough-mother, holding and handling, the self and the false self, the capacity

to be alone .
