Alchemical Psychology
Description
In a book that sparkles with verve, life, and practicality, Dr. Cavalli explains how alchemy was one of humankind’s earliest efforts to transform the nature of consciousness. What little-known or underground arts did alchemists practice in pursuit of self-transformation—and how can they enrich us today?
Using the same practices that he employs with patients, Dr. Cavalli offers readers a plethora of personal exercises that, among other things, enables them to “type” themselves according to ancient alchemical identifiers of nature and personality. He then provides practices that can help free them from the grip of familiar problems and foster true personal growth.
Beautifully illustrated with medieval prints from the alchemical tradition, Alchemical Psychology gives readers both a richer understanding of their own natures and of the traditions on which many of our modern therapies are based.
Thom F. Cavalli, Ph.D., is licensed as a psychologist, a marriage, family, and child therapist, and a Qualified Medical Examiner. In addition to his twenty years of private practice, he has conducted many seminars and workshops for community agencies, industry, and private organizations. He lives in Tustin, California.PUBLISHER:
