This is a reprint of the CPA Press original. Disturbed
psychological states have baffled both religion and medicine for as
long as human beings have existed. Despite the explorations of
modern psychology we are no closer to understanding these
expressions of human suffering than we were a thousand years ago.
Although it can offer no solutions, astrology can provide many
insights into why some individuals respond to conflict and
unhappiness by retreating form life, and why others respond with
savagery toward their fellows. The three seminars in this book use
astrological perspectives to explore a spectrum of extreme
psychological states, from the condition known as psychopathy to
the collective mechanism of scapegoating as much a pathology as any
diagnosed mental illness. Astrologers often avoid confronting the
issues of madness and human destructiveness, and political
correctness has made it even more difficult to face such issues
honestly and without sentiment or hypocrisy. But only by exploring
the roots of what we call madness can we find any positive and
creative approach to the mystery of why some individuals fail to
cope constructively with life 's challenges. This book will
sometimes shock and disturb, but it is an invaluable resource for
any practicing astrologer concerned with the dilemma of human
suffering, and any lay person wishing to understand how astrology
can contribute to our comprehension of human behaviour.
