Psyche, Self and Soul is a many faceted exploration of the
relationship of psychotherapy and spirituality. Introducing the
term 'an everyday transcendence', Gargiulo studies the silent alone
space of each individual and relates a psychoanalytic exploration
to a spiritual journey. Calling on the thought of philosophers,
theologians, scientists and analysts, the text gives a new
framework for understanding psychoanalysis and spirituality
grounded in the here and now as well as a psychoanalysis that
respects mystery, justice and civility.
The clinical cases demonstrate how each patient's task must be understood as individualized, and consequently, how the analyst/therapist must creatively adapt clinical technique. D.W. Winnicott's thoughts are applied throughout the text and are given a comprehensive summary in the final chapters.
