The Psychic Home: Psychoanalysis of Consciousness and the Human
Soul develops, from a number of different viewpoints, the
significance of home in our lives. Roger Kennedy puts forward the
central role of what he has termed a 'psychic home' as a vital
psychic structure, which gathers together a number of different
human functions. Kennedy questions what we mean by the powerfully
evocative notion of the human soul, which has important links to
the notion of home and he suggests that what makes us human is that
we allow a home for the soul. As an illustration of this concept he
explores how it can help to understand a vital element of William
Wordsworth's development as a poet. The word soul is both abstract
and yet also powerfully emotive. Kennedy shows that it can be
approached from a number of different angles, from psychoanalysis,
philosophy, religion, sociology, literature and neuroscience. The
Psychic Home, discusses the mysteries and complexities of the soul,
and aims to evoke some restoration of its place in our thinking. It
illustrates how the word soul and similar key words, such as spirit
and inwardness, express so much that is essential for humans, even
if we cannot be too precise about their meanings. Insightful,
enlightening and broad reaching, The Psychic Home brings the
concept of the soul centre stage as an entity that is elemental, an
essence, irreducible, and what makes us human as subjects of
experience. It will be essential reading for psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists, neuroscientists, philosophers and those
interested in spirituality and religion.
