In Psychotherapy of Character, Dr. Berezin presents a much-needed alternative to the prevailing doctrine, one that is grounded in an understanding of human nature. Suffering is not a brain problem, it is a human problem. He illuminates the practice and effectiveness of psychotherapy through the story of his patient, Eddie.

Eddie's complicated inner life, varied experiences, and ultimate breakthrough, stand in contrast to the destructive and false promises of a magical cure.

He introduces a new and inclusive paradigm of consciousness for the twenty-first century. On the surface, he lived a successful college life. Eddie was due to graduate with honors, and was accepted into a prestigious PhD program in biology. All the while, he felt alone and dead inside. No one really knew him. Psychotherapy of Character Author : Robert A. Perrin develops a model of his conscious and unconscious mind emphasizing the role of the self in moderating between perception and action.

The fourth and final chapter focuses on self-conscious reality-testing and on visuo-spatial self-conceptualization, and presents evidence that such manifestations of self-awareness evolve only in those warm-blooded animals whose rule-developing youth lasts two years or longer-that is, those mammals and birds whose survival during the imaginal testing of rules is subjected to prolonged risk if self-consciousness that one is imaging sensations rather than perceiving sensations is absent.

Tony Nader Is there some hidden purpose in life, a secret design, a meaningful logic, a goal to be achieved? Where do we come from and where do we go after we leave?

Why should we be fighting? Can we choose? Are we free or slaves of destiny, of the laws of nature or of God? As sentient beings who wish to take control of their lives, these questions are fundamental, and everyone ends up making assumptions or strongly subscribing to beliefs about many of them.

A short summary of this paper. Download Download PDF. Translate PDF. Why are we here? Are we free? If yes, what is the source of our freedom? Science tells us we are machines, and looking through this lens our freedom is an illusion. In science there is no place for the spirit. We are sure that there is something real to our inner world. But ordinary science cannot reveal to us the nature of consciousness.

This is because science can only tell us of the laws of objects which are expressed in language. But Consciousness is not an object. Consciousness is the perceiving subject. It can show that the brain is like a machine but it cannot create a machine that is like the brain. We face paradoxes; science has reached its limits.

A great classic of the Trika Tantric tradition4, it speaks to the mystery of consciousness in a manner that is consistent with the Vedas.
