Being and Caring

A Psychology for Living, Second Edition

Victor Daniels and Laurence J. Horowitz

Practical information and skills for better living! Now available from Waveland Press, this highly regarded edition synthesizes the psychological wisdom of such notable writers as Freud, Rogers, Perls, Jung, Skinner, and Reich as it offers students an approach that involves the systematic development of each part of the personality. Readers of Being and Caring will find ways to move beyond limiting attitudes and assumptions, use inner resources more effectively, make outer relationships more rewarding, and live their lives more consciously than before.
 

Being and Caring speaks directly to the reader’s past, present, and future life. Instead of talking about issues, it penetrates to the heart of readers’ concerns about them. Rather than presenting knowledge that is here today but gone after the exam, it provides practical information and skills that can be put to immediate use. Through its exercises, it provides an ongoing workshop in learning to confront dilemmas of existence that every person faces. Being and Caring both informs and demystifies. What others have stated in complicated ways, Daniels and Horowitz say simply and directly. Students will appreciate the authors’ warm, personal tone, the clear and sharp writing, and the coherent organization.
