Product Description
Synopsis
Transcript of seminar from the Centre for Psychological Studies by Dr. Liz Greene. Studies the astrology behind the disturbed psychological states that have baffled both religion and medicine for as long as human beings have existed. Despite the explorations of modern psychology we are often no closer to understanding these expressions of human suffering than we were a thousand years ago. Although it can offer no solutions, astrology can provide many insights into why some individuals respond to conflict and unhappiness by retreating from life, and why others respond with savagery toward their fellows.

I have to confess straight up that I just love Liz Greene's writing, they resonate with my approach to digging into people's inner lives. Another confession - I'm teaching myself astrology so don't expect this review to be from a fully fledged astrologer. I'm on trainee wheels. I found the information in this book fascinating. Liz Greene's ability to look into people and draw such in-depth conclusions is really gob-smacking. This book looks at our attitudes to evil, to people who are psychopaths, what makes psychopaths with reference to astrological influences, and scapegoating. The scapegoating section I found fascinating and challenging, given modern scapegoats - paedophiles, fat people and, here in Australia in recent times, the demon bikers. You can probably nail down your own examples of scapegoats in society. I found the scapegoating section relevant to my own life and gained some insights into my own childhood background and behavioural responses which were quite astounding. Don't read this book if you want a nice, light read. Material about the Moors Murders makes difficult reading, for instance, but if you want to look deeply into behaviour which our societies find hard to understand, this book is for you.

Liz writes very well indeed .... Goes in depth into the 'dark side' with case references ... Eg miloseviec of yugoslavia .... ReLly brings it to life with reference to astrological principles ...

One of Greene's best efforts
10 Dec 2003
Format:Paperback
Riveting and illuminating accounts of madness: psychopathy, schizophrenia and the scapegoat. Impossible to put down. My copy is marked in many places for later review. I am grateful this author continues to give us all the benefit of our amazing analysis. It's true that there is a lot more modern psycholoanalytical theory than most astrology books, but the astrological synthesis, in my opinion, is dazzling, and the book has a very encouraging effect upon my own imagination.

interesting, lacking a little precision

This is a very intersting topic but the book wanders a little between two different areas: psychology and astrology without being too precise in neither.
It is an entertaining book though.
As an astrologer I would have defined explanations more precisely from the astrological point of view, instead, the book says (for example) that if someone has a difficult configuration in his natal chart and he is exposed to a complicated family situation, those family conditions are going to make him dangerous,and that is ignoring, again, as astrologers, that that person (with those complicated planets) IS GOING to have a surronding environment that is going to make him what he is supposed to get to be. At least from the point of view of destiny, we can't blame family for pushing him over the top, it was meant to be and that family situation was also meant to be.
So, basically, it is an interesting book without too much rigor on the astrological study.
