In keeping with this, mainstream psychology, which seldom acknowledges the psyche or soul, relies increasingly on pharmaceutical treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn his unique approach to anthroposophical psychology, or \"psychosophy,\" William Bento views imbalances of the human soul in an experiential and human way. Basing his views on the work of Rudolf Steiner, Bento looks not only at the human body, soul, and spirit, but also at the way the whole environment of physical phenomena, life forces, and spirit beings affects us as individuals. Going well beyond our immediate, earthly surroundings, the author considers the cosmic effects of sun, planets and stars, offering a holistic view of the human soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a valuable addition to the field of anthroposophical psychology and to the study of spiritual science as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWILLIAM R.
