Behind me, Satan: A study into understanding concepts of mental health from a pre-medical culture in the West - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What if ancient demons were actually early psychological diagnoses? This study reveals how pre-medical Western culture understood mental struggle through the lens of demonology and sin. It maps the Seven Princes of Hell onto modern character disorders, interprets King Solomon's demon-binding as proto-cognitive therapy, and shows how medieval vices like Sloth and Greed mirror contemporary depression and addiction. By viewing these spiritual battles as psychological metaphors, we gain enduring insights into identifying, externalizing, and mastering the destructive forces within the human mind.
