ABSTRACT

“Look, I’ve just got to tell you this, Dr. Norton. You’re a genius. No, I really mean that. Look, I’ve been to seven other therapists — and rather good ones I must add. Dr. Gleason, of course, studied with Rogers when he was alive, and Dr. Kent spent a great deal of time out in California with Perls. But the amazing thing is that I’ve made more progress in two sessions with you than I made with all of them put together. I can’t believe nobody else ever used a behavioristic approach. What can I say? You’re wonderful. I feel like I wasted the last 12 years of my life going from one inept therapist to the next. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t met you.”
