ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the changing nature of the psychotherapeutic world in relationship to the values crisis evident in our lack of reaction to the Gulf War. It attempts to examine the underlying valuelessness of the new post-modern psychotherapeutic systems with special attention to the impact of that changing value structure on humanistic psychotherapy, the mental health community and the significance of this shifting as it relates to the Gulf War. The author examines philosophic systems that underlie various post-modern approaches and their challenge to universal humanism and humanistic values. As the author begins to think about this concern over values, he wonders where are the impassioned leaders of the humanistic movements of the 60s and 70s who espoused a completely different set of values. The chapter appears in this collection in which numerous articles are founded on principles such as trust, universal truths, hope, caring for one another.
