This work strips away the pretense of psychology in a most fascinating way. I read and reread this book several years ago while doing a feature article about the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Rogers was a science consultant with NASA at that time. It is a very straightforward look at most of the psychotherapy methods of the day. I found it not purposely disparaging in any way. It is simply a "matter of fact" synopsis. An example is a quote from Rogers, "The process of all the myriad psychotherapies are more akin to voodoo than any kind of actual science".
