The first book by a competent psychologist which analyzes the latest trends in the psychology of selfism over against the wider field of basic human values, personal and social. A devastating indictment of the me generation. All those who are interested in psychology and religion and the relationship between the two will benefit greatly from this book. A critique of secular humanism as a cult of self-worship--"selfism", with social science practitioners as priests of "Psychology as Religion". Polemic against the admittedly broad spectrum of "existentialists", singling out four "most important self-theorists", who are incidentally quite influential because "scientific" - Eric Fromm, Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow, Rollo May. Seems to argue that Self-help is anti-Christian since "the family is a basic Christian concept", and "a universal cross-cultural concept". (48) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
A trenchant analysis of modern psychology -- an enterprise that Paul Vitz maintains has become a religion, a secular cult of self, now part of the problem of modern life rather than part of its resolution. Virtually rewritten, this second edition of the original 1977 text takes into account much of what has happened in the field of psychology during the past seventeen years. Two completely new chapters are also included -- one on education and "values clarification" and the other on New Age religion. No library descriptions found. |
