For professionals who seek to meet the needs of their patients more creatively, this book offers a unique synthesis. For people in emotional crisis, it clarifies the distinctions among intractable psychosis, temporary breakdowns in the service of healing (spiritual emergencies), and psychic breakthroughs (spiritual emergence). And for anyone interested in the seemingly inexplicable workings of the human mind gone mad, this fascinating exploration of psychotic states of consciousness will be exciting reading.
Industry Reviews
"An overwhelmingly valuable book." - Robert M. Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
"John Nelson has written an important and compelling book. He provides us with a thorough, well-referenced review of contemporary theories of psychotic illness, including a broad sweep of how conventional psychiatry views the psychoses." - The Association for Humanistic Psychology Newsletter
"Nelson's level of expertise with both the Western medical model and the Hindu chakra system is quite exceptional and perhaps unique among transpersonal theorists. Healing the Split would make an ideal textbook for a transpersonal psychology course." - The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology
