Using evidence from anthropology, neuroscience, psychiatry, analytical psychology and evolutionary biology, within this book Dr Erik Goodwyn explores the current cultural psyche, and how elements of modern society are contributing to the current loneliness epidemic.

Obsessions and compulsions have plagued humanity for millennia, and yet no major psychological theory has considered their content to be meaningful - until the work of Carl Jung. This book presents Jung's symbolic approach to the understanding and treatment of OCD.

This fascinating new book explores the puella as an archetypal, symbolic, and personality figure reaching into the classical foundations of Jungian analytical psychology, focusing on the modern conflicts reverberating personally and culturally to remove the obstacles for accessing our more complete selves.

His philosophy provides a comprehensive understanding of the universe based on earlier hermetic works brought up-to-date with Enlightenment era scientific discoveries.Copies of this book are nearly impossible to find.
