Discover the fascinating work of Caryll Houselander, a lay Catholic artist, mystic, religious writer, and poet in this thought-provoking book. Exploring the concept of guilt in the context of man's relationship with Christ, she reveals how breakdowns in this relationship manifest as psychological disfunction, and argues that only through suffering can we achieve sanity and become whole. Houselander illustrates these arguments through a series of case studies centered around famous authors, artists, and criminals, including as Leopold and Loeb, Teresa Martin, Hans Christian Andersen, and Franz Kafka, With her unique perspective and expertise, Houselander's examination of guilt, suffering, and mental instability is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and psychology. |
