A collection of essays and stage plays by and about Fred Newman, the controversial American philosopher, psychotherapist, playwright, and political activist. The reader is invited into dialogues taking place among psychologists, philosophers, artists and community activists on topics such 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 reinitiation of creativity and growth. Arguing that both psychological activity and its study are essentially performances, Newman and his colleagues expose the myths of mainstream psychology and the limitations of its postmodern challengers. More than an academic critique, Performing Psychology offers a new methodology for understanding human life. (Routledge, 1999) $28.00
