Questioning Psychology

Brian Levitt is a registered clinical and rehabilitation psychologist and a partner with Kaplan and Levitt Psychologists in Hamilton, Ontario. He works with people who have experienced trauma and loss, many of whom are also struggling with chronic pain. He both trained and later worked at the Chicago Counseling and Psychotherapy Center, which grew from Carl Rogers' work at the University of Chicago. Person-centered theory and applications are an abiding passion, and he has explored these in all aspects of his work across a wide variety of settings. Brian has edited two other books with PCCS Books, Embracing Non-Directivity (2005) and Reflections on Human Potential (2008).
