Description

Psyche's Veil: Psychotherapy, Fractals and Complexity by Terry Marks-Tarlow explores how linear assumptions in clinical theory can hinder effective practice. By applying concepts from chaos theory, complexity theory, and fractal geometry, the author offers new language, models, and metaphors to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This book provides a fresh perspective on psychotherapy, discarding traditional notions of health based on regularity and set points in favour of unique moments, variability, and irregularity. It also delves into philosophical and spiritual implications of contemporary science for therapy, making it appealing to both specialist practitioners and generalist readers. With its case-based approach and novel treatment of sophisticated psychoanalytical issues, Psyche's Veil aspires to a paradigm shift in how therapists conceptualize internal healing.
