The Primordial Mind In Health And Illness by Michael Robbins
This work explores the deepest, pre-verbal layers of human experience that shape perception, emotion, and behavior across the lifespan, showing how early, archaic modes of mind can support vitality and creativity yet also contribute to psychological disturbance when distorted by trauma or developmental disruption. Drawing on clinical vignettes, cross-cultural insights, and psychoanalytic theory, it traces how primordial fantasies, affects, and relational patterns emerge in dreams, symptoms, and therapeutic encounters, and offers guidance for recognizing and transforming these forces in psychotherapy to foster integration and mental health.
