Suffering and Psychology

- This book explores the theoretical commitments and cultural values that have deterred the field of psychology from facing squarely and dealing credibly, as best they can, with inescapable human limitations and frailties, unavoidable suffering, pain, loss, heartbreak, and despair.

- Takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining phenomenology, critical theory, feminist perspectives, postmodern approaches, hermeneutic philosophy and virtue ethics.
