“Leaving aside the experience of birth, of which we know next to nothing, most of the psychic pain we experience on the path toward becoming a person is occasioned by the two great (and inevitable) experiences of life-separation and differentiation.”
A detailed and thoroughly fascinating account of the many ways in which the ancient healing traditions of India—embodied in the rituals of shamans, the teachings of gurus and the precepts of the school of medicine known as Ayurveda—diagnose and treat emotional disorder.
