Wild Mind
A Field Guide to the Human Psyche
Book • 2013
In 'Wild Mind: A Field Guide to the Human Psyche', Bill Plotkin argues that true wholeness and healing come from cultivating the four facets of the Self and integrating the fragmented or wounded subpersonalities that form during childhood.
Rather than suppressing psychological symptoms or eliminating subpersonalities, Plotkin describes how to embody our multifaceted wild minds, commit to the largest, soul-infused story we’re capable of living, and serve the greater Earth community.
The book uses a nature-based map, drawing on wisdom teachings from around the world, to illustrate the relationship between the human psyche and the natural world.
