Psychologists have recognized that theologian Paul Tillich has something to say to them about the human condition. Cooper (psychology, St. Louis Community College) makes a case that the political critiques theologian/social ethicist Niebuhr (1892-1971) made and his analysis of the contradictions in his own psyche can also be applied to psychotherapy. This book brings him into dialog about the self with Freud, Jung, Horney, Kohut, and other major psychological thinkers. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
