- catalog abstract ""As the next millennium draws near, New Age thinking sweeps vigorously through Western culture. How do New Agers view their spiritual enterprise? What are their rituals and activities? Here, at last, is a solid, dynamic book that questions the very psychological and philosophical foundations of New Age thinking." "This highly original study is rooted in human developmental psychology as it emerges through the work of M. Mahler, D. Stern, and C. Bollas. It discloses the extent to which New Agers rely on magical, regressive beliefs and behaviours to escape the internal torment that comes with individual separateness and the stern demands of reason." "M. D. Faber concentrates in turn on crystals, shamanism, channelling, witchcraft, psychic healing, and the New Age version of the cosmos (the holographic universe). He offers a comprehensive, critical overview of the alternative religions that have sprouted up in North America and Europe during the past half century." "Sure to be controversial, New Age Thinking has the power to alter the course - and perhaps the destiny - of the New Age movement as a whole."--BOOK JACKET.".
