done with so many of Carl's things and with the plans that the library has for the future.  The library has just received $150,000 grant from the president of the University of California that will be used towards a long term UC system wide digital library program.  This program will used to create a digital library for all of the UC's that will eventually be available through the Internet.  The UCSB Library will have a web page through which one can access this information, however, the Humanistic Psychology Archive has plans of its own to develop their own web page.
I spent a lot of time reading through the oral history which David had written about Carl.  His interviews with Carl were transcribed and reading this gave me the feeling that I was listening to Carl tell me about his life and sharing his views.  There were two different things that stuck out for me when reading this, Carl's views on Humanistic Psychology and the future of PCA.
On Humanistic Psychology Carl said, "One thing about humanistic psychology is that psychologists with a humanistic orientation have tended to be turned off by traditional universities and traditional curricula, so they have gone into private practice - a great many of them - and into service activities.  That is fine, but it means that there is a paucity of research in humanistic

psychology, because research is done in universities.  It's done primarily by graduate students.  And humanistic psychology is not well represented on the faculty of major universities.  If humanistic psychology is to have a larger future it will have to in some way penetrate the universities more deeply.  It will have to find ways to carry on research.  In that respect, I think,  there is a possibility of change".
When asked what the future holds for PCA, Carl said, "...I don't for a moment think that we have done things that will have a worldwide impact.  What we have done is to show on sort of a smaller test-tube basis that change is possible if a person-centered, facilitative climate is present.  And that means a great deal to me.  What we have worked on is more basic than the solution of problems; we have worked on helping people understand one another, communicate with one another, and that, I feel, represents a much more realistic basis for the solution of the specific issues...."
I was invited to come back to see further what is being done with Carl's work in the Archive.  I was pleased to see what has been done so far and their plans for the future.  I wanted to spend more time reading David's history of Carl because I found it to be fascinating.  For future information, as

this may eventually be available on the internet, it is called, "The Quiet Revolutionary"  Carl Rogers and David E. Russell, University of California Santa Barbara, Donald C. Davidson Oral History Program.  I wanted to share my finding on what became of the Carl R. Rogers Memorial Library.  Everyone will be happy to

know it is being preserved and integrated into the University's Special Collections and will be made available to the rest of the world through the internet in the future.  I think Carl would be pleased.

PCA helps the self.  It avoids such issues as dependency, co-dependency, victimness, powerlessness, wallowing and insipidity.  It focuses on the self and its competence -- full functionality.

There are a number of PCA practitioners educated in this process.  It is a fairly lengthy process, involving about four years of intensive spaced repetition.  There is an international group of some of these practitioners who meet every few months in different countries.  A milestone of this group is to impact a critical mass of the world's businesses by the year 2005.  They share what they know with one

another, about PCA and other relevant topics, for free, without cost.  Each pays their own travel and housing expenses.  The working name of this group is the Pajaro Group.

Business organizations are the dominant institution in our civilization.  They will create the social inventions of the next 35 - 40 years. There exists a significant opportunity to influence these social inventions with PCA, now.  As the demand for therapy worldwide diminishes, client centered therapists represent a resource block. This block is needed in the world of business organizations.
