It has always seemed to me that one of the great
puzzles or challenges facing PCT and its adherents
and advocates is to devise workable methods for
communicating desired reference values to others and
for facilitating their adoption by these same
others.
... So, what methods do we have for such purposes?
What I've found most effective are the approaches
pioneered by Carl Rogers and Marshall Rosenberg.
Those approaches tend also to be jargon-heavy, but
hopefully the curious can get past that scaffolding
and see what is actually being done. This area of
applied psychology has fully integrated the
impossibility, and undesireability, of manipulating
other people. I recommend it.

Carl Rogers had a profound influence on Chris Argyris and the ultimate development of Action Science by Argyris & Schon.

and the ultimate development of Action Science by Argyris & Schon.
Yes Carl R. Rogers's "Client Centered Therapy" was a turning point in my
inter-human contact.
I remember also he became enthusiastic over BCP. Here is what he said:
"Here is a profound and original book with which every psychologist--indeed
every behavioral scientist--should be acquainted. It is delightful to have a
person of such varied and unorthodox background come forth with a unique
theory of the way in which behavior is controlled in and by the individual,
a theory which should spark a great deal of significant research."
