The Wisdom of the Psyche

by Ann Belford Ulanov

"This book promotes a strong argument for a 'feminine' approach to religious to struggle in the ambiguous gap between the wisdom of the psyche and the wisdom of Scripture, between our interior experience of God and the exterior reality of God." "The Wisdom of the Psyche urges clergy to help parishioners bring forth their unconscious feelings and images to join their conscious thoughts. In this way, the church allows its members the space to present themselves fully to God and to be fully present to the human need around them."--BOOK JACKET.

[Brooklyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't imagine anyone rating this as a three star book. If I could give this book a million stars I would. She hit the very core of Being with laser sharp precision and addresses all of the ways we fall into the shadow of it in the most concise, direct and healing way. This book is a clear and detailed road map of how to find and integrate all of the parts of ourselves that become strangled and dissociated by our own shadows. She also addresses and nails the how the church and clergy would effectively heal people and bring them to wholeness by applying integration principles of depth psychology into religious practice and community. It's brilliant.
