Modern Myths and Medical Consumerism (eBook, PDF)

The Asclepius Complex

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Modern Myths and Medical Consumerism is concerned with the loss of a sense of limit in technological medicine today, and the way in which the denial of death leads to an uncontrollable, consumeristic multiplication of needs. Taking its starting point from C. G. Jung's analytical psychology, the book gives a symbolic interpretation based on archetypal, philosophical, and socio-psychoanalytic ideas developed through the author's personal experience, moving from the medical to the psychoanalytical paradigm.
