In this book, Michael Washburn provides a psychoanalytic foundation
for transpersonal psychology. Using psychoanalytic theory, Washburn
explains how ego development both prepares for and creates
obstacles to ego transcendence.
By 1985 Tom Petty had already obtained legendary status. He had
fame. He had money. But he was restless, hoping to stretch his
artistry beyond the confining format of songs like "The Waiting"
and "Refugee." Petty's response to his restlessness was Southern
Accents. Initially conceived as a concept album about the American
South, Southern Accents's marathon recording sessions were marred
by aesthetic and narcotic excess. The result is a hodgepodge of
classic rock songs mixed with nearly unlistenable 80s music. Then,
while touring for the album, Petty made extensive use of the
iconography of the American Confederacy, something he soon came to
regret. Despite its artistic failure and public controversy,
Southern Accents was a pivot point for Petty. Reeling from the
defeat, Petty reimagined himself as deeply, almost mythically,
Californian, obtaining his biggest success with Full Moon Fever.
Michael Washburn explores the history of Southern Accents and how
it sparked Petty's reinvention. Washburn also examines how the
record both grew out of and reinforced enduring but flawed
assumptions about Southern culture and the Lost Cause of the
Confederacy.
Presents an account of human development from a
depth-psychological, transpersonal perspective.
