The kind of caring that the client-centered therapist desires to achieve is a gullible caring, in which clients are accepted as they say they are, not with a lurking suspicion in the therapist's mind that they may, in fact, be otherwise. this attitude is not stupidity on the therapist's part; it is the kind of attitude that is most likely to lead to trust.

More From Carl Rogers

We're trying to win business by doing a good job for the clients, as opposed to, "we think being big and universal is just a great, wonderful thing." it's not a morality thing. it's a "does it work for the client?" thing. everything we do is because a client uses us. everything we do is because a client chose to use us of his own free volition.

Never talk to a client about architecture. talk to him about his children. that is simply good politics. he will not understand what you have to say about architecture most of the time. an architect of ability should be able to tell a client what he wants. most of the time a client never knows what he wants.

Marriage isn't a contest to see who is most often right. marriage requires being what the japanese call 'the wise bamboo,' which means you bend so you don't break. treat your spouse with the flexibility and respect you would give to a top client. think how we treat clients; we smile, we are polite, we listen to their ideas. never forget that your spouse is your most important client.
Wise Mean Thinking
How gullible are you? is your gullibility located in some "gullibility center" in your brain? could a neurosurgeon reach in and perform some delicate operation to lower your gullibility, otherwise leaving you alone? if you believe this, you are pretty gullible, and should perhaps consider such an operation.

As long as society tells men to be the salespersons of sex, it is sexist for society to put only men in jail if they sell well. we don't put other salespersons in jail for buying clients drinks and successfully transforming a "no" into a "maybe" into a "yes." if the client makes a choice to drink too much and the "yes" turns out to be a bad decision, it is the client who gets fired, not the salesperson.

The best of modern therapy is much like a process of shared meditation, where therapist and client sit together, learning to pay close attention to those aspects and dimensions of the self that the client may be unable to touch on his or her own.
