THE PERSON IN PSYCHOLOGY

A Contemporary Christian Appraisal

Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen

"A rich, challenging book one that, in particular, every Christian who is a serious student of psychology should read and reflect on. The author addresses various topics bearing on social psychology, person ality theory, research methods, etc, but her most general concern is to show the need for a major paradigm shift, one that will greatly change our present understanding of what is called 'scientific psy chology. The exciting thing is that this book helps bring about this very shift-one that will provide a more humane, realistic, and valid under-

standing of the person." -PAUL C. VITZ, New York University

"Ms. Van Leeuwen incisively penetrates critical problems inherent in contemporary psychology from a Christian standpoint, Further she creatively demonstrates challenging means of molding a new psychol ogy of great promise for the Christian community. An admirable and ingenious effort."
