Critics Review
”““By integrating wisdom from psychology, philosophy, history, and storytelling, Spellbound provides a unique perspective on how science informs the psychological reality of magic.””
—Carol Bernstein, former American Psychiatric Association president
““In Spellbound, Dr. Daniel Lieberman beautifully weaves together stories from literature, philosophy, spirituality, mythology, and history with neuroscience and Jungian and Freudian psychology. Using clear, jargon-free language, he helps us understand how integrating the magical, mysterious, and metaphorical language of the unconscious, with our rational, orderly, and logical conscious minds, can help us to develop our true selves.””
—Deborah L. Feldheim, M.D., past president of the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis“
