I live in Japan and set up a new center that will be know as THE CENTER FOR HUMAN AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES (CHODR) . CHODR will provide a variety of resources to enhance human and organizational development in families, corporations and other forms of organization. This center will be a non profit corporation. It will link and bring together individuals, groups, organizations and resources devoted to improving the quality of human relationships within organizations. It will be a model for adaptable, Person-Centered organizations of the future. It is a very big and meaningful challenge in my life.
My interests are:
1. Adapting PCA to social work, social work with individuals, with families, with groups, with organizations and communities. I believe PCA will contribute to make social work more humanistic. 2. Humanistic Education. I worked at a small alternative school named "Play Mountain Place" in Los Angeles as an intern teacher for two years. This school has been influenced by Carl Rogers' ideas. I learned many things from this school. Now, I am teaching my learning to Japanese child caregivers. 3. Human and Organizational Development: Bifocal approach, Human Development and Organizational Development.
I encountered PCA 30 years ago. Since then PCA has been whole of my life. It was big encounter for me.
