John Rowan 1925-2018

摘要

John Rowan was a pioneer and 'early adopter' of not just one psychotherapeutic theory but of many. His curiosity and enthusiasm, obvious to anyone who met or worked with him, were pivotal in the role he played in embracing the human potential movement. Using his own personal development, John worked his way through many different areas of psychology and psychotherapy, adding his own take on each of them. He was passionate about sharing his knowledge, developing it in his writings, and encouraging others to take his thinking and develop it further. For John, knowledge was not 'power over' but 'power with' others. The power to learn, to change, to develop and grow; not only in ourselves but in the work we do with our clients, our supervisees and in the wider world.
