In the adversarial climate of contemporary psychology, Newman effectively tears down many of the ideological walls separating two powerful schools of thought.
Humanistic psychology and behavior analysis have long been viewed as staunch opponents in the practice of psychology. Newman's careful research into the theories, positions, and approaches of both camps dispels the myths of behaviorists as cold manipulators and of humanistic psychologists as weak-willed armchair philosophers. After examining both systems, he outlines their shared philosophical and historical roots. Newman explores such questions as:

- How should psychotherapy be conducted?

- How is moral behavior created and maintained?

- Is behaviorism unethical?

- What forms of education are most effective at imparting information and improving self-concepts?
