Riassunto

This furious, trenchant, and audacious series of interrelated dialogues and letters takes a searing look at not only the legacy of psychotherapy, but also practically every aspect of contemporary living--from sexuality to politics, media, the environment, and life in the city. James Hillman--controversial renegade Jungian psychologist, the man Robert Bly has called "the most lively and original psychologist we've had in America since William James"--joins with Michael Ventura--cutting-edge columnist for the L.A. Weekly--to shatter many of our current beliefs about our lives, the psyche, and society. Unrestrained, freewheeling, and brilliant, these two intellectual wild men take chances, break rules, and run red lights to strike at the very core of our shibboleths and perceptions.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina:

"What a great dialogue between two wonderful minds and spirits. Gutsy and civilised, an unbeatable combination."
'Henry Jaglom'

"One of the most exhilarating and culturally significant books I have read in years."
'Joanna Macy'

"All sorts of fresh ideas dart back and forth as in a successful jam session ... jittery, funky, sophisticated brainstorming."
'Los Angeles Times'

"Range[s] energetically over such subjects as psychotherapy, politics and aesthetics, method acting and post-war ideas of the self, child abuse and inner child theory, romantic love, and America's tradition of anti-intellectualism ... Seductive precisely because it offers two live voices actively engaged."
'Washington Post'

"Two imaginative voices playing off each other as they strive for a new paradigm. A wonderful combination of feeling and intellect."
'Spalding Gray'

"Finally somebody has begun to talk out loud about what must change, and what must be left behind, if we are to navigate the perilous turn of this millennium and survive ... Ventura and Hillman deserve our thanks as well as our closest attention."
'Thomas Pynchon'

Product Description:

Jarring contemporary notions of psychology and politics, and pushing beyond them to offer the beginnings of new paradigms, this book examines the legacy of psychotherapy. It exposes psychology as an ideology that collaborates with traditional notions of individualism - notions that are no longer tenable. James Hillman is the author of "A Blue Fire", "Interviews", "The Dream and the Underworld", "The Myth of Analysis" and "Re-visioning Psychology". Michael Ventura is the author of "Shadow Dancing in the U.S.A.".
