Science vs Spirituality | Beyond the Psychological Self — Why I Left the Field
I did not leave the field of psychology because I stopped believing it had value. I left because I could no longer pretend the map was complete. A framework that begins and ends with the human person will eventually struggle to make room for a Source beyond the person.
Science vs Spirituality | Beyond the Psychological Self — Pearls, Swine, and the Ongoing Yes
