Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Written by a professor of clinical psychology, this book is accessible to thoughtful readers interested in the relation between spirituality and mental disorders. It comprises two main parts: The first part tells the story of how a psychologist-cum-patient performs a self-study of "madness" in great detail. It belongs to the long tradition of ideographic studies that attend to the uniqueness of each individual. The author says: "During episodes, manic symptoms are manifest. Yet, I become more colorful, sensitive, generous, and loving. I see beauty everywhere and delight in the simple things of life. I glimpse into mystical magnanimity. All these inform me that my quest for spirituality is wedded to madness. Now, I can bear testimony that on balance the creative energy of madness may enrich rather than damage ones life. It is possible to retain a measure of madness in dignified living and of dignity even in a state of madness."Adhering to the nomothetic tradition of knowledge generation, the second part gives extensive coverage to various aspects of mental disorders from a scientific perspective, including the ethical, political, and sociocultural contexts in which mental disorders occur. It resolves apparent contradictions between dualities, such as normality and abnormality, individualism and collectivism, and Eastern and Western values.In the end, the reader may learn that it is possible to harness the creative energy of madness to enrich ones spiritual lifea topic that can hardly be found in psychiatric texts. The author, a Professor of Clinical of Psychology, describes how the creative energy of madness can be used to enrich ones life. The book provides psychiatric as well as ethical, political, and sociocultural contexts for understanding mental disorders in general and the authors own case in particular.
