Bücher von Patrick M. Whitehead

Whitehead begins by examining the core distinction in the sociology of medicine between "disease" and "illness" and how this distinction maps onto a more fundamental distinction between the corporeal/objective body and the experiential/lived body.

In Resituating Humanistic Psychology, Whitehead and Groth urge psychologists to return to the aims of the psychology as it first emerged. To illustrate the field's turn from its initial aims they trace the growth of the discipline from its conception in the late 1800s to the humanistic revolution of the 1960s to the current period of social unrest.

In Expanding the Category "Human": Nonhumanism, Posthumanism, and Humanistic Psychology Patrick Whitehead argues that humanistic psychology must continue its sixty-year-old project of openness of inquiry and acceptance of human beings in order to stay relevant in this ever changing world.

Psychologizing introduces students to the study of psychology by encouraging them to approach the subject on a personal level. Classroom-tested, the psychologizing model emphasizes learning through practice. A conversational and highly engaging narrative prompts students to begin thinking like psychologists as they examine key concepts, including learning, development, personality, and emotion.
