New Age Thinking: A Psychoanalytic Critique

by Melvin D. Faber

New Age thinking is sweeping vigorously through Western culture. This highly original study is rooted in human developmental psychology as it emerges through the work of M. Mahler, D. Stern, and C. Bollas. It discloses the extent to which New Agers rely on magical, regressive beliefs and behaviours to escape the internal torment that comes with the individual separateness and the stern demands of reason.
