Greening of Psychology The Vegetable World in Myth, Dream, and Healing

Is the "green" metaphor becoming a cliche, a cover for cynicism, quick profits & environmental hard sell? Here's a book willing to slice open the idea of "greenness" & take a fresh look at the vegetable kingdom. The vegetable nervous system & its symptoms, addictions to plant concoctions (cocaine, coffee, sugar, etc.), social rootlessness, the worship of growth, the fear of rot - these topics reveal the archaic uncanny depths & also fertility given us by the vegetable world. When we neglect the classical notions of a vegetable soul, with its deep downwardness, the very roots of our lives wither. By exploring the green level of the psyche, this book radically changes our usual notions of what consciousness is & who we are.Bishop, Peter is the author of 'Greening of Psychology The Vegetable World in Myth, Dream, and Healing' with ISBN 9780882143453 and ISBN 088214345X.
