Lois Holzman's
New Book!
Lois Holzman, Ph.D. (psychology) has a new book just out, "Performing
Psychology: A Postmodern Culture of the Mind" (Routledge 1999)
In Performing Psychology, Lois Holzman has collected essays and stage
plays
by and about Fred Newman, the controversial
and visionary American
philosopher, psychotherapist, playwright and political activist.
The
reader is invited into dialogues currently taking place among psychologists,
philosphers, artists and community activists on such diverse topics
as the
nature of human subjectivity; the relationship of theatre to human
development; the status of traditional science in the postmodern world;
the
process of therapy and diagnosis; and the re-initiation of creativity
and
growth. More than an academic critique, Performing Psychology
offers a
methodology for understanding human life.
Mary Gergen has this to say about
Performing Psychology: "
If you think psychology has reached the edge of the envelope,
think again. Fred Newman, innovator, performer, and intellectual
iconoclast opens new worlds. This
is an exciting collection from one of America's most innovative, irreverent,
and insightful psychologists. |
