Psychology for the Other: Levinas, Ethics and the Practice of Psychology

Ten contributions from scholars and clinicians discuss issues in contemporary psychology relating to morality and one’s ethical obligations to other people. The essays explore in particular the ideas of French phenomenologist Emmanuel Levinas, who grounded his explanations in religious tradition rather than the social or natural sciences. Gantt and Williams both teach psychology at Brigham Young University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
