Readers' Comments
This book presents a new paradigm for psychology. It is written in the
form of dialogues between three fictional psychologists. In twelve
sessions they develop a novel approach to psychology as the study of
persons. The work is the outcome of Dr. Smedslund's sustained
engagement in psychology for more than half a century as clinician,
experimenter, and a theoretician. He presents here a new view and
expands and discusses it in this book. By externalizing his own inner
dialogues through these three fictional characters, he presents with
maximal clarity, the considerations that have led him away from the old
and towards a new conception of psychology. You, the reader, will soon
realize that this is, indeed, a radical re-orientation. The dialogues
help make the transition intelligible, and provide opportunity for
critical evaluation of the arguments and counter-arguments.
"Thank you for one of the most exciting, inspiring
and thought-provoking books I have read in a long time"
--Arne Vestergaard, Organizational
Psychologist, Copenhagen, Denmark
