Riveting and illuminating accounts of madness: psychopathy, schizophrenia and the scapegoat. Impossible to put down. My copy is marked in many places for later review. I am grateful this author continues to give us all the benefit of our amazing analysis. It's true that there is a lot more modern psycholoanalytical theory than most astrology books, but the astrological synthesis, in my opinion, is dazzling, and the book has a very encouraging effect upon my own imagination.

This is a very intersting topic but the book wanders a little between two different areas: psychology and astrology without being too precise in neither.
It is an entertaining book though.

As an astrologer I would have defined explanations more precisely from the astrological point of view, instead, the book says (for example) that if someone has a difficult configuration in his natal chart and he is exposed to a complicated family situation, those family conditions are going to make him dangerous,and that is ignoring, again, as astrologers, that that person (with those complicated planets) IS GOING to have a surronding environment that is going to make him what he is supposed to get to be. At least from the point of view of destiny, we can't blame family for pushing him over the top, it was meant to be and that family situation was also meant to be.

So, basically, it is an interesting book without too much rigor on the astrological study.
