Book excerpt: "Buber came to play a role in the development of so-called third force psychology. . . . In the exchange between Buber and [Carl] Rogers, one can see how far they both were from the world of Freud, which presumes an omniscient analyst dealing with curiously foolish neurotics. Freud’s aloofness might have been self deception, but he never advocated anything like the mutual give-and-take that Buber and Rogers had in mind. . . . Buber’s mind was in another world from that of early psychoanalysis, and the passage of time has shown how relevant his thinking can be to how we approach the healing professions.”—from the Introduction
