The Dilemma of Psychology: A Psychologist Looks at His Troubled Profession

by Lawrence LeShan

Expanded and republished, The Dilemma of Psychology reveals why more than 100 years of psychology and armies of psychotherapists have not helped solve humanity’s most pressing issues. Uncompromising, yet with a deep passion for his field, 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 most urgent issues of our time: war, pollution, and overpopulation. In order to improve the human condition, Le Shan argues, psychology has to make humanity and human life its focus. This visionary roadmap to a more authentic, more vital psychology will fascinate anyone concerned about the mental health of today’s society.
 
Reviews

“Lawrence LeShan’s work is a model of the kind of soul-searching that must be spread over the whole field of psychology if it is to respond to the cry for help that is now coming not only from individuals, but from our whole modern civilization.”

—Dr. Jacob Needleman, author of The Heart of Philosophy and The Way of the Physician

“The Dilemma of Psychology is more than a book and it is about more than psychology. It is a heraldic cry to awaken, to see our world and ourselves in a new way before it is too late. . . LeShan is one of the original thinkers of our time. This book proves it.”

—Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Space, Time, and Medicine

“In this perceptive book, Lawrence LeShan has identified the crucial gaps in psychological theory and knowledge. Equally important, he has proposed ways of rectifying these omissions—(necessary) if psychological science is ever to truly lend understanding to the human condition.”

—Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Saybrook Institute, co-editor, Broken Images, Broken Selves

“The Dilemma of Psychology is a most important book, delightfully readable and trenchantly critical of the psychologies that have been taught in our universities. . . “

—Dr. Ashley Montagu, author of Life Before Birth and Man and Aggression
