Description:... Reinhold Niebuhr's analysis of the human condition inevitably led him into a dialogue with psychology. This book brings Niebuhr into dialogue with Freud, Horney, Rogers, Kohut, Jung, and other key psychological thinkers. It argues that Niebuhr was both an astute critic of some forms of psychology, and a great contributor to the human sciences.
