There is little that can be truly considered ‘original thought’ and instead most ideas are a development of ideas that came before them. This however does not diminish an individual’s work or their intellectual rights but instead lends gravitas to it in the form of a long history of individuals working separately but together contributing to the improvement of understanding. And while we may not be able to trace and attribute the origins and development of every Theory and thought contained herein; I feel that there is a moral obligation to acknowledge that we do not grow in isolation and that all contribute our journeys of understanding and personal development. This page is dedicated to recognising those that have contributed to our understanding of this subject and have inspired further thought and personal development. It will never be complete or exhaustive but it is a beginning.
Though much maligned, misunderstood and taken out of context; it cannot be denied that he is one of the most influential forces in Counselling and Psychotherapy and therefore without an understanding and appreciation of his work, a Therapist fails to have a fundamental understanding of the foundation of Therapy.
