Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Uncompromising, yet with a deep passion for his field, Lawrence LeShan talks about the expectations that rose with the birth of psychology, how the new science started off on the wrong foot, and why it might still be the only tool to solve the deepest issues of our time: war, pollution, and overpopulation. In order to improve the human condition, LeShan argues, psychology has to make humanity and human life its focus. Witty and full of imaginative examples, this visionary roadmap to a more authentic, more vital psychology will fascinate anyone concerned about the mental health of today's society. * LeShan is a 'grandmaster of psychology' who has worked as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist for more than 50 years * New expanded edition includes a timely introduction by the renowned Dr. Stanley Krippner

The Dilemma Of Psychology by psychologist and educator Lawrence LeShan is a carefully written scrutiny of the discipline and healing science of psychology. Accessibly written by a practicing psychologist holding deep reservations regarding the current state of his profession, The Dilemma Of Psychology candidly examines psychology's quest to understand the human condition and its state purpose to help people. LeShan questions a number of basic assumptions that are widespread among practitioners such as that "God is an Engineer." A thoughtful, openly presented treatise, The Dilemma Of Psychology is a highly recommended contribution to Psychology Studies reference collections and reading lists.
