The Meaning of Persons

By: Paul Tournier

In THE MEANING OF PERSONS, Dr. Tournier fully accepts the contributions of psychiatrists such as Freud and Jung. He integrates them into his work as well as in theory, but he significantly and wisely illustrates, through actual counseling situations, that this alone is not enough to understand and to help, for only through living dialogue between man and man, and man and God, can the authentic person be relieved, reached, and helped. Dr. Tournier was a Swiss physician whose interest in the whole man led him to the practice of psychotherapy. He was an active member in the international meetings held at the Ecumenical Institute on Christian Faith and Medical Practice. He has written several books that are the hallmark of today's application of psychology to medicine and biblical counseling.
