Παρουσίαση
The Myth of Tantalus introduces a personality theory that is unlike other theories in the literature of psychology, social, psychology and personology. Freud, the initiator of theories of the human person, was interested in the psychological sublimation of sex. Hence, his psychosexual stages of development are all related to the sprouting forth of passions, conflicts, triumphs and disasters on the way to a personal grappling with objects and others. Only later in life did he realize the importance of death in Man's Weltanschauung, but he did not incorporate it into his theory. The Myth of Tantalus readdresses this imbalance by presenting a theory where in sprouting out towards development and relationship with the outside world, man alternates between conflict and a striving to revert back to earlier developmental phases. The transcendental longings and quests of Man are explored here not in their theological sense, but in their actual structuring of the human personality. (From the publisher)Περιεχόμενα
