ABSTRACT
In an era of exploding technology and large advances in our knowledge about human behavior and development there is, understandably, concern and anxiety over the relationship between a science of human behavior and human values in a humanistic context. In this chapter I have set the task as one in which there is an attempt to consider the role of the humanistic view of human behavior at a time when the power of science has taken hold of both the fears and imaginations of large numbers of people, and when the visions called up by Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four raise questions about the destiny of human relationships in modern society.
