Abstract: '...[two] practicing psychologists...offer a humanistic vision of how psychotherapy can contribute to the liberation of the human spirit. In their understanding, life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced and understood....questions many of the assumptions and limitations of psychotherapy as it is practiced today. These include the overwhelming need to identify a "problem," the consequent rush to a "quick fix," and psychologically narrow, reductionistic views of human possibility, human experience, and ways of being in the world.'
