About This Item
New York: Dell Publishing Company [0-440-57023-9] 1981. (Trade paperback) 283pp. Very good plus. There is a previous owner's name on the first page and the title page and there is a tiny tear to the back cover edge. "In this probing exploration, Rollo May argues that powerlessness is just as corrupting as is power: when people feel impotent they are likely to become either violent or sick. This, says Dr. May, lies at the root of the rise of violence in our society. We have made a virtue of powerlessness or a psuedo-innocence, he says, because we have been in the habit of thinking of power in only its negative forms". (Psychology, Illness, Power, Psychology, Social Behavior, Social Sciences, Social Welfare, Societies, Violence, Violence).
