Synopsis:

Soulways offers insights into personal growth through the phases and turning points of human life. A profound picture of both child and adult development is given. The developmental needs, potentials, and questions of each life phase and passage are mapped.

Drawing on his work as a psychiatrist, Dr. Rudolf Treichler explores the developmental disorders of soul life: addictions, inner emptiness, neurosis, psychosis, midlife questions, hysteria, anorexia, schizophrenia, depression, mania, and more. Disorders are explored from a developmental and therapeutic viewpoint―as questions that may challenge individual growth.

Soulways is a useful guide for counselors, parents, teachers, doctors, therapists, and those doing biography work.
