Openness To All Attitudes No

People Are Just As Wonderful As Sunsets If You Let Them Be. When I Look At A Sunset, I Don't Find Myself Saying, "soften The Orange A Bit On The Right Hand Corner." I Don't Try To Control A Sunset. I Watch With Awe As It Unfolds.

If I Were To Search For The Central Core Of Difficulty In People As I Have Come To Know Them, It Is That In The Great Majority Of Cases They Despise Themselves, Regarding Themselves As Worthless And Unlovable.

When I Look At The World I'm Pessimistic, But When I Look At People I Am Optimistic.

Openness To All Attitudes No Matter How Extreme Or Unrealistic They May Seem.

The Kind Of Caring That The Client-centered Therapist Desires To Achieve Is A Gullible Caring, In Which Clients Are Accepted As They Say They Are, Not With A Lurking Suspicion In The Therapist's Mind That They May, In Fact, Be Otherwise. This Attitude Is Not Stupidity On The Therapist's Part; It Is The Kind Of Attitude That Is Most Likely To Lead To Trust.
