Cidade & Alma
Psicanálise das geladeiras e cinzeiros? Já há alguns anos James Hillman vem se ocupando em levar a reflexão psicológica para além dos limites dos consultórios dos analistas.
Todo o campo da psicoterapia profunda nasceu em cidades como Viena, Zurique: uma atividade urbana, para cidadãos da polis. Diferentemente das épocas de Freud e Jung, hoje não só a alma do homem, mas principalmente a alma do mundo está doente, e são seus os sintomas que mais nos atingem, afligem e agridem.
Prédios, parques e avenidas no divã? Ecologia Profunda? O retorno da alma ao mundo, como propõe Hillman nesses ensaios, dessubjetiviza o enfoque puramente ecológico, inclui a urbanidade como campo válido de experiências e nos sensibiliza, seres urbanos que somos não somente a patologia mas a beleza do que está a nossa volta.
