Conversations with the Soul: A Psychiatrist Reflects - Essays on Life, Death and Beyond

A wide-ranging exploration of the place of spirituality in mental healthcare. 

Clinical papers are interspersed with reflections by the author on his many years of therapeutic practice and exploration of the inner life. The present climate of materialist science has led to an unremitting search for the biological causation of mental disorders, accompanied by heavy reliance on prescription drugs.

Andrew Powell offers a vision of health and wholeness that goes beyond the limitations of the physical sciences, drawing attention to an ever-present spiritual reality that accompanies us through life, and shows how in times of pain and confusion the wisdom of the soul can be called upon to bring clarity, purpose and renewed hope.
