"The book draws on theoretical and clinical approaches within the broad psychological field to show the relevance of certain philosophical issues. A number of case studies are presented, demonstrating to clinicians, theorists, and students the importance and inevitability of dealing with philosophy in pursuing their own work. In addition, the author's philosophical explications of various psychological theories provide a new tool with which to better understand and compare them."--BOOK JACKET.
