Remembering Self

A unique exploration of the human psyche and the journey toward psychospiritual unity, Remembering Self covers the mind-body-spirit realm as well as personal development, psychology, spirituality, midlife, eldering, and death, uniquely weaving together the mystery of mystical spirituality, the depth of Jungian Psychoanalysis, and the complexity of attachment theory.

Broken into sections that follow the "four seasons of life" through which the soul evolves, this book details the tasks, responsibilities, and development necessary to integrate and move through each stage. Each season represents both a universal, transcendent perspective and an immanent personal reflection through the voice of Shemah, a character recounting his life as he nears death under the guidance of Cornelius, a wise figure representing the essence of Self. Although Shemah is a fictional character, his story is an amalgam of Lakritz's clinical patients over decades of practice.

In whatever season of re-membering readers find themselves, this book will help light their way toward a fuller awareness and expression of the Self.
