Published by Viking (Penguin Putnam Inc.), New York, in 2001, this first edition, first printing hardcover of Healing the Soul in the Age of the Brain: Becoming Conscious in an Unconscious World is written by Elio Frattaroli, M.D. — psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in private practice, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, and faculty member of the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia. Drawing on philosophy, literature, quantum mechanics, and decades of clinical experience, Frattaroli makes an impassioned and closely argued case against the reduction of mental illness to neurochemistry and its treatment to medication — and for a return to the deeper tradition of psychoanalytic listening that attends to the inner life of the patient as a whole person with a soul.
