Description

This fascinating new book is an exploration of the Andean codes, first introduced by the Incan civilization in relation to psychoanalytic theory, woven together with concepts from fractal dynamics and quantum theory to provide a more comprehensive method in psychoanalytic practice.

A continuation of Bryon’s decades worth of exploration on “Incan technology, it examines parallels between the intricate interweaving of Andean principles and the layered complexity of consciousness within a therapeutic setting. The integration of Andean shamanic medicine in psychoanalysis practice offers a framework for dropping into a felt sense of intuitive knowing with deeper sensitivity, while navigating less differentiated areas of the client’s inner world of implicit experience inner world, often the depository for unprocessed trauma. In this synthesis of psychoanalysis and indigenous Andean medicine practices, the book illustrates how the dynamic interplay of energy and psychology, framed within universal laws such as duality, coherence, and rhythm, can guide deeper understanding with the potential for psychic transformation.

This important book will be of interest to members of the analytic community, those in private practice, graduate students, and those curious about the interplay between shamanism, psychoanalysis and quantum physics.
