A Michael Eigen Companion: Moments of Wisdom from a Psychoanalytic Mystic
Book Announcement by Robin Bagai (USA)
Robin Bagai’s second book on the work of Michael Eigen contains 150 carefully curated quotations distilled from his voluminous output, lying at the confluence of psychoanalysis, spirituality, and psychology.
A Michael Eigen Companion: Moments of Wisdom from a Psychoanalytic Mystic (Routledge) draws from over 25 of Eigen’s books as well as talks and interviews. It offers moments of psychological and spiritual wisdom, gateways for quiet reflection and contemplation. Bagai provides commentary highlighting both its spiritual and psychoanalytic aspects.
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.
