Client-centered therapy: where has it been and where is it going? A comment on Hathaway (1948)

C E Hill et al. J Clin Psychol. 2000 Jul.

Abstract

We review the article by Hathaway (1948) critiquing nondirective therapy. We summarize Hathaway's concerns about nondirective therapy and psychotherapy research in general and consider the historical context of the article. Then we discuss progress on methodological concerns raised by Hathaway, empirical evidence obtained in the last 50 years about the efficacy of client-centered therapy and other kinds of psychotherapy, the current status of client-centered therapy, and projections for the future.
