Michael Eigen Companion

A Michael Eigen Companion offers 150 essential quotes, carefully selected from Michael Eigen's books, alongside explorative commentary. An expert on the work of Eigen, Bagai's curated quotes are accompanied by commentary on particular topics to highlight their spiritual and psychoanalytic aspects. The excerpts offer moments of psychological and spiritual wisdom- gateways for quiet reflection and contemplation. Eigen's ecumenical theoretical approach fosters a humane and relational clinical attitude founded upon respectful care for wounded souls and their capacity for emotional growth and aliveness, even within the depths of psychic injury and despair. Bringing together quotes from Eigen's published work, interviews and talks, this book provides a distilled guide to his voluminous oeuvre. At the confluence of psychoanalysis, spirituality, and psychology, A Michael Eigen Companion will be indispensable for readers from a wide range of psychoanalytic and spiritual backgrounds. It will also appeal to students of literature and philosophy, Jungians and Buddhists, as well as seekers of psychological and emotional wisdom.
