Allen, I'm sure you'd look very fine in a high hat war bonnet. I like my party hat quite a lot at the mo <(:-)
I didn't know the term 'Rogerian', but I recognise the technique as I've copyedited a few Psychology books over the years. I particularly liked an instructive volume that featured a section on how to get rid of a patient when they won't stop talking. You put your hand firmly on their shoulder, say 'Well, it was great to talk today, Bob!' (Bob was the case study), and walk with them rather forcefully towards the door. I also took Psychology as an 'ancillary' subject during my degree.
That's a good revision. I note that slant rhymes are out of Roger Slater's control, but I wonder whether he agrees with this!
