Personal destiny, however, with its accompaniments of reincarnation, planetary influences, astrology, and palmistry still remain an unwanted stepchild in psychoanalysis. Yet, they can be central to psychoanalytic therapy with highly educated, professional Hindu women. Two case studies are cited, one seen in three times a week, short-term psychoanalytic therapy in Bombay; the other in three times a week analysis in New York City over a few years. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
