Psychology as Religion: The Cult of Self-Worship
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing (1994)
Abstract
This is a virtually rewritten second edition of New York University Professor Paul Vitz's profoundly important analysis of modern psychology. Vitz maintains that psychology in our day has become a religion, a secular cult of self, and has become part of the problem of modern life rather than part of its resolution.
