Martin Buber's contribution to physchology and phychotherapy

This new title is most interesting for those of us who are aware of Martin Buber's many sided interests and his philososophical contributions to physchology and phychotherapy. The book contains essays he wrote over the years, his connection and exchange of thoughts and opinions with Jung and many others. The final chapter is the dialogue about the history of the unconscious . Altogether a most interesting and inspiring read.
