Book Description:
|
This book investigates the role of symbolization in the development of the human mind, from prehistoric paintings until poetry of the 20th century. Case stories show that patients today feel not «devoured by the Sphinx», but by their work («burn out»), by annihilation anxiety, psychosomatic problems etc. But the «archaic mother never dies».
