Originally published in Germany, PCCS Books is pleased to bring Self-Actualization to a wider readership.
 
 
This book explores a core concept in both Carl Rogers’ person-centred approach to psychotherapy and modern systems theory. Self-Actualization stresses the links between humanistic approaches, systems — and family — therapy, ‘old’ holistic and danamical thinking in psychology — in particular gestalt theory — and ‘modern’ systems thinking in the natural sciences.
Most people believe in the essential difference between an engine and a human being, but still use cognitive tools from mechanical science. The intent of this book is to provide the reader with thoughts, ideas, metaphors and knowledge which are more adequate to understand the processes of life and our soul.
 

Jürgen Kriz is professor of psychotherapy and clinical psychology at the University of Osnabrück and guest-professor at several universities in Europe and USA. He is a practicing psychotherapist, supervisor and chairman of the scientific council of the Person-centred Society in Germany (GwG). Among other honours, Kriz received the 'Grand Viktor Frankl Award of the City of Vienna' for his life work which has won international acclaim in the field of humanistic psychotherapy.
