This new edition of the important study by the philosopher and psychologist Evangelos Christou outlines a fundamental logic for psychotherapy that is distinct from that of the natural sciences or philosophy. He proves that psychotherapy has its own legitimate area of activity and that its rights are based on the soul.
   Greek by birth, raised in Egypt, educated both at Cambridge (by Wittgenstein, among others) and trained at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Christou was a true heir of Socrates and the logical philosophers of Cambridge. The Logos of the Soul is the legacy of a gifted young intellectual whose life and work were cut short by a tragic accident.

The problem which the author attacks in this monograph is the most difficult in psychology … because it takes up first principles, the very method by means of which any psychological investigation can be carried on at all.
—JAMES HILLMAN
An insightful delving into the higher questions and their ramifications for the disciplines of both philosophy and psychology.
