Have you read any Agatha Christie yet? Because she is extremely awesome and not boring and conventional like you might think. In fact‚ her 1926 novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was so controversial when it came out (due to a twist ending that I’m not going to reveal) that critics were divided and other mystery writers aghast.

Although a lot of compelling theories and counseling techniques were presented throughout the unit‚ I will focus my attention on the Person-Centered Approach/Therapy developed by Carl Rogers. Person-Centered Approach changed the nature of counseling‚ as well as the counselor-client relationship‚ making Rogers a true change agent in his profession.
