Or the Emperor's New Clothes

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1988, in this personal review of the state of academic psychology, Paul Kline draws attention to the way in which his peers at the time studiously avoided such threatening matters as human feelings and emotions, unconscious 'complexes' - in short anything that could be called the human psyche. Whether they support or refute his arguments, students and professionals alike will still enjoy this original book.
