Words from the Soul: Time, East/West Spirituality, and Psychotherapeutic Narrative (S U N Y Series in Transpersonal and Humanistic Psychology) [Hardcover]

Stuart Sovatsky (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1998 | Series: S U N Y Series in Transpersonal and Humanistic Psychology

Accepting relentless impermanence as the ground of human experience, Words from the Soul derives a spiritual psychology from the mystery and poignancy of time-passage itself. Drawing from Wittgenstein, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Foucault, Dostoyevsky, Buddhism, kundalini yoga, and twenty-five years of clinical/mediation experience, the author's epigrammatic insights into our struggles with mortality, gratitude, apology, and forgiveness make this book relevant to psychotherapy and conflict resolution in a wide range of professional settings. In his exploration of the furthest-reaches of human development, Stuart Sovatsky reveals the deepest potentials of the ensouled body, transforming our views of language, sexuality, ecstatic spiritualities, and of the human life cycle.
