ABSTRACT

I have come to feel that the only learning which signicantly inuences behavior is self-discovered, self-appropriated learning. Such self-discovered learning, truth that has been personally appropriated and assimilated in experience, cannot be directly communicated to another. As soon as an individual tries to communicate such experience directly, oen with a quite natural enthusiasm, it becomes teaching, and its results are inconsequential. Carl Rogers (1961, p. 276)
