Paul Tillich, more than any other theologian of the twentieth
century, maintained an energetic dialogue with psychology, and
espe-cially psychotherapy. This book explores what Tillich's
theology has to offer psychologists and others working in the field
of mental health, spiritual development, and pastoral counseling.
Tillich's inter-action with Carl Rogers, Erich Fromm, Rollo May,
and other famous psychologists became an important part of his
thinking. Tillich frequently pushed psychologists to see the
underlying philosophical assumptions of their work. This
investigation of the underpinnings of psychotherapy then encouraged
psychotherapists to become more aware of the ultimate questions
about meaning, purpose, and ethics that informed their work.
Perhaps the greatest contribution this book offers is a careful
narra-tive and analysis of the meetings of the New York Psychology
Group, which involved such figures as Tillich, Fromm, May, Rogers,
Seward Hiltner, Ruth Benedict, and David Roberts, to name just a
few. This important group, which met from 1941 to 1945, dealt with
issues that are very much with us today, such as whether faith can
be psychologi-cally explained, the meaning of transcendence, the
relationship between psychotherapy and ethics, the appropriateness
of self-love, and whether human love is parallel with Divine love.
Paul Tillich and Psychology then concludes with an update of
Tillich's influence on the current dialogue in theology and
psychology. Listing several of Tillich's important contributions to
psychology, the book suggests that Tillich's impact is far from
over and that it will continue on into the twenty-first century.
