Dionysus in Exile On the Repression of the Body and Emotion

The internationally renowned Jungian analyst Lopez-Pedraza diagnoses the psychological illness at the core of modern society-the loss of embodied soulfulness in people's lives. In this study of the Greek god Dionysus, he offers insight for a cure. Dismemberment and cannibalism, Prometheus and the Titanic nature, mystical experience, the communal aspect of Dionysiac worship, jazz, flamenco, and bullfighting are among the many twists and turns taken in this book-length essay that wends its way through issues of the body and emotion to open hidden doors for psychotherapy and to cast new light on post-modern humanity.Lopez-Pedraza, Raphael is the author of 'Dionysus in Exile On the Repression of the Body and Emotion' with ISBN 9781888602104 and ISBN 1888602104.
