The Greeks regarded sexual passion as a kind of madness —
possession by Eros — which deprived you of all dignity and made you betray your

The
daimon overturns the conventional view held by psychotherapy: that what happens
early in life determines what happens later. We are not the
products of our history; we are a-historical creatures for whom events in our childhood and
later development are mirrors in which we catch glimpses of our primordial
image.
