What happened to Gloria from the film Three Approaches to Psychotherapy?

Answer 1

I am very happy to be able to answer this question. We (PCCS Books www.pccs-books.co.uk) are in the process of publishing a biography by her daughter Pamela, (the Pammy from the films). It should be out by the end of 2007. Sorry if this is selling the book but I cannot possibly do Gloria justice by answering it any other way. Pamela writes beautifully and the book is a joy to read from beginning to end. Gloria gets the chance to have her say in response to the films and Pamela shows us her vibrant, intelligent mother to moving effect. _________

The above doesn't answer the question in the least. Gloria initially chose Perls over Rogers as her preferred therapist, despite her ambivalence about their therapy demonstration. However, she grew to regret her decision and concluded that she would have had more to gain from Rogers, with whom she did feel a genuine connection. In later years, she struck up a correspondence and a friendship with Rogers and his family. Unfortunately, despite the age difference, Rogers outlived her by many years, as Gloria died when she was still in her 50s.

Suffice it to say it's an uplifting story, beautifully written about a woman, whose life--the highs and the lows--shines out from every page.
