{"product_id":"toward-a-psychology-of-being-an-insight-book","title":"Toward a Psychology of Being (An Insight Book)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is a continuation of my Motivation and Personality  published in 1954. It was constructed in about the same way  that is  by doing one piece at a time of the larger theoretical structure. It is a predecessor to work yet to be done toward the construction of a comprehensive  systematic and empirically based general psychology and philosophy which includes both the depths and the heights of human nature. The last chapter is to some extent a program for this future work  and serves as a bridge to it. It is a first attempt to integrate the \"health-and-growth psychology\" with psychopathology and psychoanalytic dynamics  the dynamic with the holistic  Becoming with Being  good with evil  positive with negative. Phrased in another way  it is an effort to build on the general psychoanalytic base and on the scientific-positivistic base of experimental psychology  the Eupsychian  B-psychological and metamotivational superstructure which these two systems lack  going beyond their limits. It is very difficult  I have found  to communicate to others my simultaneous respect for and impatience with these two comprehensive psychologies. So many people insist on being either pro-Freudian or anti-Freudian  pro-scientific-psychology or anti-scientific-psychology  etc. In my opinion all such loyalty-positions are silly. Our job is to integrate these various truths into the whole truth  which should be our only loyalty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946166644789,"sku":"ByrdShop_0442038054","price":26.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780442038052.jpg?v=1769926730","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/toward-a-psychology-of-being-an-insight-book","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
