PSYCHOTHERAPY AND SPIRITUAL PATHS
Seymour Boorstein |

VISIONARY EXPERIENCE OR PSYCHOSIS?
John Weir Perry |
|
|
The psychiatric community errs in treating visionary experience as a form of mental illness, says Jungian psychotherapist John Weir Perry, M.D.. The late Dr. Perry was the author of many books including The Heart of History and The Far Side of Madness. He suggests that psychiatric labelling and the use of anti-psychotic drugs serve to stifle the valuable integration of life's mythic dimensions. | |

"I sometimes think of spirituality as teaching us to forgive others and psychotherapy as a way of learning to forgive ourselves." --Frances Vaughan |
