Produktbeschreibung

PSYCHE - a mind-blowing account of the visionary potential of unusual states of consciousness. With striking imagery and compelling narrative the author explores the spiritual and creative aspects of schizophrenia, the way people so labelled are treated by the psychiatric system, and how the senses of those experiencing psychosis are opened to paranormal stimuli. The book validates 'Psyche-sensitivity' as evidence of humankind evolving before us, here and now, and emphasises its positive and transforming potential.
