Summary: A thoughtful, openly presented treatise
Review: 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.
