Description
Summary:SummaryContemporary views of man in psychology are in flux. The American tradition of experimental materialism is being modified by serious attention to personality theory. The existential movement in Europe is beginning to have a serious influence on both theory and therapy. The development of psychosomatic medicine is part of a vital reconsideration of the problems of mind-body. And within the psychotherapeutic disciplines, serious attention is being given to the role of patient-therapist values and the therapeutic concept of man. The relevance of spiritual concepts is being given serious consideration, and potential modifications of theology and psychology are being entertained by both disciplines. Hopefully, out of this interchange will develop more adequate concepts of man and God.
