Abstract:

This investigation examines the body, soul, spirit principles of anthroposophic psychotherapy using case study methodology. It shows how it views the human being in a holistic way, linking physical illnesses (in this case multiple sclerosis) with psychological and social problems and with the difficulties the spirit experiences in today’s materialistic world. It also demonstrates how the culture of our current age can inhibit the human spirit from coming to Earth and how psychotherapy needs to be understood within the context of worldwide social and political events. In order to heal the damage caused by these events, we have to heal ourselves; healing oneself is healing the world.

Love and Hate as soul phenomena
Author: David Tresemer
Download the PDF
Abstract:

Rudolf Steiner identified Love and Hate as a fundamental polarity in the human psyche or soul. Hate, though rejected (hated) by many, continues to show itself in the dynamics of self and society. Love has many forms, ranging from infatuation to the source of all creation. This article begins to unravel these concepts in Steiner’s philosophy and as useful tools to understand human beings.
