'Varieties of Psychological Inquiry: Volume 1' consists of fourteen essays that venture into various facets of psychology - ranging from: Freud, Jung and Sullivan, to: cognitive, existential and developmental psychology. Among the topics explored are: Anxiety, dissociation, abuse, the 'God gene', human nature, emergent properties, madness, the notion of 'self', and the construction of conceptual reality. While no particular theory of psychology is espoused during the pages of this two volume work, a variety of theoretical and empirical issues are critically explored and reflected upon in considerable detail.
