Mapping the Wild Mind by Bill Plotkin

Mapping the Wild Mind by Bill Plotkin

Our human psyches possess astonishing resources that wait within us, but we might not even know they exist until we discover how to access them and cultivate their powers, their untapped potentials and depths. Wild Mind identifies these resources -- which Bill Plotkin calls the four facets of the Self, or the four dimensions of our innate human wholeness -- and also the four sets of fragmented or wounded subpersonalities that form during childhood. Rather than proposing ways to eliminate our subpersonalities (which is not possible) or to beat them into submission, Plotkin describes how to cultivate the four facets of the Self and discover the gifts of our subpersonalities. The key to reclaiming our original wholeness is not merely to suppress psychological symptoms, recover from addictions and trauma, or manage stress but rather to fully embody our multifaceted wild minds, commit ourselves to the largest, soul-infused story we're capable of living, and serve the greater Earth community.

Bill Plotkin, PhD, the founder of the Animas Valley Institute, defines himself as a crazy psychologist. He's been blazing new tracks for decades as a cultural visionary, novelist, and guide to the intertwined mysteries of wilderness and psychology. His ecocentric re-imagining of psychology enables us to have a conscious and embodied relationship with the soul and the world beyond us. Soulcraft and Wild Mind are two of his other works. He is a resident of southwestern Colorado.
