The label "humanistic psychologist" is as flattering and dangerous as the biblical Joseph's robe. Some members of the psychological family suspect their younger brother of gaudy display while they diligently and scientifically pasture the flock. A few encourage a protective tolerance of the fanciful and ambitious dreamer. Still others are anxious to oust the interloper-but will be satisfied to sell him to Ishmaelites headed for the nearest growth center.
