For good reason, many modern psychologists consider this book a milestone and groundbreaking work, as it connects something that has never truly been separate: psychology and spirituality. In our religiously uprooted civilization, spiritually mystical experiences are often regarded as expressions of mental illness. This is a grave misconception! Dr. Judith Miller illustrates this with numerous case studies from 30 years of therapeutic practice and her own personal story. This book is a wake-up call, making it clear that only the recognition and integration of our spiritual traditions allow for holistic healing. For those affected, it is a genuine liberation, and for psychologists, it opens up fundamentally new perspectives.
