Reviews
""Frank Richardson has been a powerful, and profoundly influential, advocate of psychology grounded in the indispensable contribution of philosophical hermeneutics to the understanding of human experience and expression. In this volume, various luminaries of theoretical psychology articulate Richardson’s profound influence on them by discussing the themes closest to his heart, including the relational self, the dialogic nature of human understanding, the need for transcendence, and the critique of liberal individualism. This fine collection offers a fitting tribute to a key theoretical psychologist of our era, as well as a fascinating introduction to the themes he has championed."" – Louis Sass, Rutgers University, USA ""Frank Richardson is widely recognized for fashioning an interpretive psychology that contrasts with and challenges the individualism, instrumentalism, and materialism that beset contemporary life. Central to Richardson’s oeuvre is a deep appreciation for and revelation of the social, relational, and communitarian constitution of us human beings as moral agents in communion with others like ourselves. The transformative power of this core realization flows through this wonderful set of essays, contributed by leading figures in theoretical psychology, offered as a tribute to a consummate teacher, companion, and fellow traveler. This is a book about what it is to be human."" – Jack Martin, Simon Fraser University, Canada
