![]() ![]() ![]() The clinical psychologist never manages to break out of the ego and the id. His prose asphyxiates with its lack of the supernatural perspective. The reader is always left wanting for something more beyond his meager secular fare. ![]() He might introduce a good point, but it will never go beyond his limited Jungian universe, ever-evolving in the cosmos of Being (with a capital B).
