The Betrayal of the Self

Preface by Gaetano Benedetti

The concept of autonomy, which does not mean power and superiority but full conformity of a human being to his feelings and needs, is an important factor of modern psychology. If this autonomy is lacking - more often the rule than the exception - dependance, subjection, power and domination prevail. This is a book that deals with an elementary dimension of human "co-existence".
