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 Heidegger’s 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 Heidegger’s Zollikon Seminars and Being and Time as it concerns psychological and associated matters.

"Mark Letteri’s Heidegger and the Question of Psychology introduces psychologists and psychotherapists to a number of key ideas proposed by Martin Heidegger—the most influential and controversial philosopher of the 20th century. Letteri’s book is at once engaging and informative. Its scope of argument provides readers with a clear and accessible grounding for Heidegger’s concerns and their implications for the ways they might think about—and “do” —psychology. Revealing a depth of scholarly knowledge and acumen, Letteri challenges readers to consider Heidegger’s 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." – Professor Ernesto Spinelli, PhD, Director, ES Associates
