Recenzii

In Knowing Self, Changing Self, Morawetz (Univ. of Connecticut School of Law) and Enyart, a practicing psychologist, explore self at the intersection of philosophy and psychology. The result is a fascinating read that blends both historical viewpoints and practical applications. One of the main themes that runs throughout is how much of "knowing self" is a matter of fact and how much a matter of interpretation. Rather than judge interpretation as somehow less valuable than fact, the authors suggest that self as interpretation is equally vital to understand. In the tradition of such works as Mayeroff's On Caring (1971), this book demonstrates the power of understanding self through shared friendship and the ability to care for others as much as for self. It is refreshing to have a work that balances conversation on the role of trust and fear (many works discuss one or the other but rarely both) in navigating through the self-exploration process and coming to understand self. . . this thin but powerful volume is well suited to counseling and philosophy and of much value to helping professionals.



Summing Up: Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty and professionals.
