This extraordinary book describes Ed Podvoll’s pioneering work in healing psychosis. It challenges the current medical and psychological approaches to working with psychological disorders, and opens the doors to the life of the mind that have long been closed. This book offers great possibilities not only to those touched by mental illness, but to all of us as we examine our lives in the light of a profoundly intelligent and compassionate spiritual perspective.
