First published 1997
In "Denial of the Soul," renowned psychiatrist M. Scott Peck confronts the spiritual void at the heart of modern life. When a patient's suicide shakes his beliefs, Peck embarks on a personal journey to understand the deepening crisis of faith in Western society. Blending psychological insight and theological exploration, he uncovers the roots of this denial - from the seductive pull of materialism to the fragmentation of community. As Peck's quest for meaning leads him to the edge of his own certainties, readers are invited to confront the profound questions that haunt the human condition.
