I would like to dedicate this issue to Charles O’Leary who died in October, just after his article was printed in the first ‘facilitating encounter’ special issue. Charlie has been a central part of these special issues for me. When we, the editors, first released the call for papers inspired by the encounter experience at the PCE conference in Vienna in July 2018, Charlie was the first to respond, saying his article was nearly ready as he had already been compelled to write after his experience in Vienna. He submitted his paper shortly after and I was privileged to be the action editor for his paper, conveying the responses from peer reviewers and guiding him through resubmissions. While maintaining confidentiality on specifics, I would like to record some of this process here and the value of it for me. It feels important for me to say something about my experience of working with Charlie, as such a treasured member of the person-centered community and honor his extensive contributions to the person-centered community and approach over many decades. It seems ironic to me that someone who I initially was critical of for not being ‘personcentered enough’ turned out to be someone who embodied the philosophy of the person-centered approach more than almost anyone I have ever met. His ability to make me feel that I mattered in all my uniqueness through his warmth and appreciation was a gift that I will always treasure. I first met Charlie when he facilitated a workshop in Wrexham in the UK in 2012 on person-centered work with couples and families. I was only able to attend his evening brief lecture and discussion at which perhaps 100 people were present. My memory is hazy, but I have recollections of challenging Charlie for what I saw as his departures from a classical person-centered perspective to include systemic ideas, which at that time seemed to me to be inconsistent. He responded completely without defense, despite my attack. He was impossible to not like. I bought his book despite my theoretical reservations and intermittently have returned to it since to value his humanity and his theoretical contributions, such as bringing the systemic concept of ‘multidimensional partiality’ (Boszormenyi-Nagy & Ulrich, 1981, p. 178) to life in a person-centered way (O’Leary, 2011). I met him again in Vienna in 2018. He was a breath of fresh air for me in encounter, as his ability to be authentically present and contribute with both anger and a concern for others’ responses to him was remarkable. It was a joy to chat with him on the conference

献给查尔斯·奥利里

我想把这个问题献给 10 月份去世的 Charles O'Leary，就在他的文章发表在第一期“促进遭遇”特刊上之后。对我来说，查理一直是这些特殊问题的核心部分。2018 年 7 月，当我们的编辑们第一次发布受这次遭遇经验启发的论文征集时，查理是第一个做出回应的人，他说他的文章几乎准备好了，因为他已经被迫写了在维也纳的经历。不久之后他提交了他的论文，我有幸成为他论文的行动编辑，传达同行评审员的回应并指导他重新提交。在对细节保密的同时，我想在这里记录一些这个过程以及它对我的价值。对我来说，谈谈我与查理一起工作的经历很重要，他是以人为中心的社区中如此珍贵的成员，并感谢他几十年来对以人为中心的社区和方法的广泛贡献。对我来说，讽刺的是，一个我最初批评他不够“以人为本”的人，结果却是一个比我见过的几乎任何人都更能体现以人为本的方法哲学的人。通过他的温暖和欣赏，他让我觉得我在我所有的独特性中都很重要，这是我将永远珍惜的礼物。我第一次见到查理是在 2012 年他在英国雷克瑟姆举办了一个关于以人为本的夫妻和家庭工作研讨会时。我只能参加他晚上的简短演讲和讨论，大约有 100 人在场。我的记忆很模糊，但我记得挑战查理，因为我认为他偏离了经典的以人为中心的观点，包括系统性的想法，当时在我看来这是不一致的。尽管我发动了攻击，但他完全没有防守。他不可能不喜欢。尽管我在理论上有所保留，但我还是买了他的书，并时不时地回到这本书，以珍视他的人性和理论贡献，例如将“多维偏袒”的系统概念（Boszormenyi-Nagy & Ulrich，1981 年，第 178 页）带入生活以人为本（O'Leary，2011 年）。2018年，我在维也纳再次遇见了他。相遇时，他对我来说是一股清新的空气，因为他能够真实地出现并以愤怒和关心他人对他的反应做出贡献的能力是非凡的。很高兴在会议上和他聊天
