Hellfried Krusche – författare

A unique exploration of the astonishing commonalities between yoga philosophy and Freud''s revolutionary approach to psychology.Yoga philosophy and Freud''s groundbreaking approach to psychology could not have been developed in more different times, places, or cultural conditions. And yet these two profound and dynamic systems of understanding human behavior, emotions, perception, and what''s essential in our existence have a surprising amount in common. By comparing their similarities as well as their differences, we can enhance our comprehension of our lives and our potential for change.In Freud and Yoga, renowned yoga master T.K.V. Desikachar and eminent psychoanalyst Hellfried Krusche examine forty classic sayings, or sutras, from the vantage point of their respective disciplines. Through clear, candid conversations illustrated by case studies from the clinic and the shala, these two experts explain the key concepts, terms, forces, and processes in their traditions.This unique investigation will fascinate therapists and patients, yoga adepts and professionals, and anyone interested in psychology, spirituality, and how to live more fully. In a time when Western and Eastern modalities have ever more to offer each other, Freud and Yoga is a watershed work that draws us closer to understanding our own nature and the deep workings of the human psyche.
