Author:
In Heidegger and the Question of Psychology: Zollikon and Beyond, Mark Letteri acquaints a broad readership (such as psychotherapists and counselors, not just professional philosophers) with Martin Heideggerâs connections to psychology and related concerns, and offers specialists one of the few monographic treatments of the topic. He provides an accessible and relatively non-technical treatment. Keenly aware of the standard difficulties with Heidegger (whether real or perceived), Letteri endeavors to render the most relevant points in a clear and succinct way. The book serves as a companion to Heideggerâs Zollikon Seminars and Being and Time as it concerns psychological and associated matters.
Mark Letteri teaches philosophy in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and hosts an occasional philosophy café and an online philosophical discussion group. He holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Waterloo, as well as an M.A. in philosophy and a B.A. in psychology from the University of Windsor. Dr. Letteriâs scholarly specialization is continental philosophy. His publications and presentations focus on Heidegger, Nietzsche, philosophical practice, reasoning, and educational development. Dr. Letteri oversees scholarly book series in existentialism and the philosophy of psychology. He is also a former first-year studies coordinator and general education teacher, as well as a former test writer and academic managing editor.
"Mark Letteriâs Heidegger and the Question of Psychology introduces psychologists and psychotherapists to a number of key ideas proposed by Martin Heideggerâthe most influential and controversial philosopher of the 20th century. Letteriâs book is at once engaging and informative. Its scope of argument provides readers with a clear and accessible grounding for Heideggerâs concerns and their implications for the ways they might think aboutâand âdoâ âpsychology. Revealing a depth of scholarly knowledge and acumen, Letteri challenges readers to consider Heideggerâs greatest challenge to psychology: to re-construe its dualist and reductive image of the human being. This is a book I unreservedly recommend to all professionals and trainees who view psychology as something more than a technological tool." â Professor Ernesto Spinelli, PhD, Director, ES Associates
