The author is a gifted and relentless academic who has studied suicide notes and treatment case histories, atom bomb victims, suicide survivors, and the literature of death. He seeks to replace the therapeutic sex-dream model of Freud, with an anthropological model of a connection between life/death, now viewed as "broken", derivative of Ruth Benedict's theories of culture. The chapter on Osiris' body broken -- most of us first found this image in Milton's Paradise Lost -- is worth the price of extinction. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The unique human awareness of our own mortality enables us to ensure our perpetuation beyond death through our impact on others. This continuity of life has been profoundly shaken by the advent of wars of mass destruction, genocide, and the ever-present threat of nuclear annihilation. In The Broken Connection, Robert Jay Lifton, one of America's foremost thinkers and preeminent psychiatrists, explores the inescapable connections between death and life, the psychiatric disorders that arise from these connections, and the advent of the nuclear age which has jeopardized any attempts to ensure the perpetuation of the self beyond death.
