Moral Issues in Psychology: Personalist Contributions to Selected Problems

By James M. DuBois

This book contains, in revised form, the invited papers which were delivered at the second conference organized by the Institute for Personalist Psychology (IPP), entitled "Moral Issues in Psychology." This conference served as a forum in which many different moral questions which concern psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors could be explicitly raised and investigated. This volume will challenge the reader to consider critically new aspects of the relationship between psychology and morality or ethics. Co-published with the Institute for Personalist Psychology.
