In Germany, Dr Anne-Marie Tausch and Dr Reinhard Tausch and their colleagues conducted a series of investigations paralleling the work of the National Consortium for Humanizing Education and corroborating the original research of Rogers, Aspy, and Roebuck. However, with what Carl Rogers refers to as 'Teutonic thoroughness', they extended their investigations to counselors, parents, athletics, textbook material, as well as researching the interactions of teachers and students. Dr Tausch's report of those studies reaffirms the exciting possibilities of a person-centered approach to learning and growing. In these days of concerns over violence in the schools, bullying, discipline, control, drug use, sexual behavior, and lack of student motivation, there is a societal movement toward more punitive and less person-centered teaching - just the opposite of what this research shows to be so productive in the classroom, in therapy, and in family relationships. Before his death, Carl expressed to me that it was a great disappointment to him that this vitally important body of research had had such little international exposure. It begs the question: Could these carefully conducted, little published, significant research findings from the past still offer society a current solution for our present problems of low achievement and violence in the schools? Meta-analyses of quality studies between 1948 and 2007, linking person- centered teaching with achievement by Cornelius-White and Hattie, confirm this with a resounding, yes.
