Summary:

Education For Living is the description of a method of psychotherapy which stresses warmth and love as the two most important elements in the therapeutic process. All the theories and techniques of psychology should serve only as tools to aid the therapist in reaching his client, communicating his love, and eliciting a free and healthy response. In our society. List points out, too little attention is given to guiding our children toward emotional as well as intellectual maturity, and this unbalance is at the root of most of the problems which afflict us today. He therefore regards therapy as an emotional re-education through which the client is enabled to change behavior patterns that have kept him from realizing his full potentialities. Therapy is not a retreat into a vacuum for a period of reflection but rather an education which equips the client to move forward in life at the same time as he is learning.
