De: James Hillman

Narrado por: James Hillman

They come from the environment, the cities, the economy, the racism. They come from architecture, school systems, capitalism, exploitation. They come from many places that psychotherapy does not address. Psychotherapy theory turns it all on you: You are the one who is wrong.

This lecture and discussion examines the uses of psychotherapy and what the future may hold for psychology.

Hillman is essential, wise

he shares his wise views to the benefit of a world that loses itself in the solving of problems rather than the sensible perception of how things feel leading us to solutions. His counter balance of the aesthetic being a birthplace of discontent rather than it being solely owed to personal demons is a tonic, which continues to resonate especially today.
