"No healing of the conflict between the spirit and the flesh is possible so long as our animal-instinctual nature is considered inferior to the mind and psyche," writes Robert Stein. This book, a collection of all of Stein's published essays, looks at love, sex, and marriage from his original, often mythological perspective, opening up new ways to think and reflect on these subkects for therapy and counseling. It contains essays on sex and soul in analysis, sexuality as shadow, the fear of the phallus, body and psyche, and the liberation of the feminine. Stein's view through these essays ends up radically challenging our ego psychologies, Jungian conservatism, Freudian reductionism, and every psychoanalytical method that goes away from a sense of body and soul in the eternal yet ever changing questions of love, sex, and marriage.
