前言
Foreword

Carl R. Rogers, Ph.D.

This is an unusual book, put together by a unique person, and built around some papers which present an all too uncommon point of view. Let me explain.

In the first place each paper some of my own, others by Drs. Gendlin, Shlien, and Van Dusen is set in a context of warm human reaction to the paper. Barry Stevens regards each of these papers as a sort of oasis in current professional literature, and has lovingly placed each of them in a setting composed of her own very personal associations to the theme of the writer. Her comments are not comments on the paper. They are not a review of the paper. They are the highly personal feelings and thoughts which the paper triggered off in her. It is as though a friend told you of many responses set off in himself by something he had read. So you are stimulated to read the material yourself to see what you can get out of it. This seems like a natural approach, but it is certainly not a conventional one. It is simply not the way books are written or compiled.

But this is not so surprising when we consider Barry Stevens. She is not a person easily categorized. Though she knows, and is in correspondence with, many of the great and near-great in our Western
culture she has no position, no status, no professional classification except the vague term, "writer." (I think she would prefer the term "amateur," because she deeply believes that the "amateur" and the "pro-
fessional" complement each other.) She is independent in her thought and in her life, continually striving to break out of the bonds which tend to hold all of us. She wrote much of the material for this book
while a guest of the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute, and in her quiet, effortless way became, during that period, an important figure in the lives of many of the individuals who work there. She has somehow achieved in her life a wisdom which seems all too rare in these days when knowledge has become so all-important. Many readers may find her personal statements more valuable and more rewarding than the writings they were intended to frame. She often sees through to the heart of the matter in a most perceptive way. But I believe the uniqueness of her person shows through in her writing, so I will lei
the reader discover her for himself.

The book is built around seven papers which start from an assumption unusual in psychology today. The assumption is that the subjective human being has an importance and a value which is basic: that no matter how he may be labeled or evaluated he is a human person first of all, and most deeply. He is not only a machine, not only a collection of stimulus-response bonds, not an object, not a pawn.
So while the papers cover a variety of topics, and in at least three instances deal with individuals labeled "abnormal," they are all basically about persons. For this reason it is felt that they may appeal to persons - persons who, like the authors, are seeking for a way in which life can best be
chosen, and most rewardingly lived. It will be obvious that the papers appealed to one person, Barry Stevens, and her reactions - sometimes charming, sometimes moving, sometimes critical, sometimes
profound - fonn the links between the themes of the authors.
This book would not have been written, compiled, or published, if it had not been the belief of all concerned that it has a relevance for human beings today. It seems possible to us that the reader may come
to feel something like this: "This book helps me to understand myself a little better, so now I understand the other a bit better, and to this degree I am a little less baffled by both of us." Or to put it in a
slightly different fashion, it is our hope that the person who reads it will find in it pennission to be and to become more of himself.

Introduction

Barry Stevens

This book is intended for anyone who is interested in it; anyone who is not interested should not read it. That is a simple statement of what this book is chiefly about: the importance of choosing for ourselves, regardless of what anyone else tells us is good, or bad. My view of why this is not easy to do is summed up in the Curtain Raiser. The one person the world seems hell-bent on my not living with is me. I write of my own experience because I am the only person I can really know the happenings in, but I write of these happenings not as unique, but as something that it seems to me is true of all of us. Even when my experience is not usual in the external events, it seems to me that in some way or to some degree you must know through your experience the inner happenings that I write about. Out of my knowing of an uncountable number of other people, I have a very strong feeling that I am not exceptional. I like this. I wish that I had been aware of it all my life. I write about myself, but the comments that please me say, "That's me you're writing about," and "It says something to me. It sounds like it should have been me saying it, as though you were me when you wrote it." We are pushed into a lot of phoney "togetherness" that I resent. But there is a real being-together that no one has to be pushed into
because it springs immediately from ourselves. In this book there are several papers about psychotherapy with schizophrenics which include the therapists themselves - what goes on in them, what goes on between them and someone else, their approach to being with another person. When I first read them, I had a
deep feeling that this is basically the way that all of us should approach each other instead of the way that we usually do. I gave these papers to some other people to read without mentioning my own
response. I quote in full what they said when they gave the papers back to me:

   "It's what we should be doing." (A Swedish graduate student in English literature at one of our universities.)
