Ritual scholars note that rituals have powerful psychological,
social and even biological effects, but these findings have not yet
been integrated into the practice of psychotherapy and psychiatry.
In Healing Symbols in Psychotherapy Erik D. Goodwyn attempts to
rectify this by reviewing the most pertinent work done in the area
of ritual study and applying it to the practice of psychotherapy
and psychiatry, providing a new framework with which to approach
therapy. The book combines ritual study with depth psychology,
placebo study, biogenetic structuralism and cognitive anthropology
to create a model of interdisciplinary psychology. Goodwyn uses
examples of rituals from history, folklore and cross-cultural study
and uncovers the universal themes embedded within them as well as
their psychological functions. As ritual scholars show time and
again how Western culture and medicine is 'ritually impoverished'
the application of ritual themes to therapy yields many new avenues
for healing. The interdisciplinary model used here suggests new
ways to approach problems with basic identity, complicated grief,
anxiety, depression meaninglessness and a host of other problems
encountered in clinical work. The interdisciplinary approach of
this accessibly-written book will appeal to psychotherapists,
psychiatrists and Jungian analysts as well as those in training and
readers with an interest in the science behind ritual.
