Psychic Wholeness and Healing: Using All the Powers of the Human Psyche

Psychic Wholeness and Healing: Using All the Powers of the Human Psyche by Conrad W. Baars. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780818904103.

These noted psychiatrists, authors and lecturers blend in an exciting way medieval/classical notions of the human psyche and modern clinical discoveries as they probe the topic of psychic wholeness and healing. The authors explore the entire human psyche including man’s spiritual dimension which is an area totally ignored by most modern psychiatrists – creating in modern man an ever deepening sense of frustration in searching for effective psychiatric treatment for his emotional turmoil. Numerous detailed clinical case histories are included which clarify the authors’ therapeutic principles. The following questions, among many others, are considered in this work: How can a person be helped who lives in constant fear that he has committed a serious sin even though he knows he has not? Does a person who wants to live a moral life, yet cannot refrain from doing things which he knows are immoral, suffer from weakness of will power or from a neurosis which would lend itself to therapy?
