Extract

To Shakespeare's famous question: “Can'st thou not minister to a mind diseased?”, Eysenck (10) gave a decided negative answer. Hebb (11) has also asserted that “There is no body of fact to show that psychotherapy is valuable”. From 1954 onwards, Rogers (12) has taken up the challenge and shown that changes occur in psychotherapy which do not occur without it, and has suggested that these changes are valuable.
