This site is dedicated to the memory of Carl Rogers, pioneering psychotherapist. The webistes listed here have been selected either because they reflect his humanist philosophy, or because they provide particularly valuable resources for the psychology or psychotherapy student. Rogers' respect for human dignity, his emphasis on self esteem and integrity, and his transformation of psychotherapy into a person-centred philosophy is an inspiration to many.

Self confidence is an essential attribute for the good life. We all need to believe in our innate value. Crucially, we need to feel that our self image, our public persona and our inner drives are all aligned. Self confidence is intimately associated with self esteem and perceived self-worth.  

Confidence Club offers a free personality test to determine the visitor's confidence profile.

Of the many self-help resources available, the ones selected for this site are undoubtedly the most sophisticated, valuable and well-respected. Self-respect is possibly the single quality most likely to lead to success in career, education and personal life. Psychological well-being is possibly the most important single quality, yet it receives so little of our attention, our research focus and even our media interest.

Social Confidence

Self esteem is not synonymous with confidence - although many laypeople use these terms interchangeably. Social confidence is a key concept, referring to the client's ability to assert his wishes in a group setting.

Social Confidence Training

Leadership training is another related field; leaders need a high degree of command presence. This is developed through posture and body language training, tone of voice and inner drive.

Leadership Training

Command presence has been shown by researchers at the University of Birmingham in Alabama to be positively correlated with height.
