Review
“Soul Medicine is a love letter to the Greek wisdom traditions in healing and philosophy, literature, ritual, and the dramatic arts. In direct, passionate prose, the book is a plea to address the many wounds of twenty-first century Western culture by returning to its 3,000-year-old roots.” ― Elizabeth Nelson, Ph.D., author of Psyche’s Knife and coauthor of The Art of Inquiry
“A bold, towering tree of a book: deep-rooted in a lifetime of personal learning and experience, richly nourished by ancient wisdom, and provides a compassionate canopy of hope and healing to the wounded and broken. This is a prophetic and eloquent book. Soul Medicine is a gift.” ― Robert Emmet Meagher, emeritus professor of humanities at Hampshire College

This was one of my father's favourite books. I don't remember anything about it and it will be hard to find out here now.
Maxi, you can read some passages from it in different languages at http://vojtisek.tripod.com/hasek/17101_en.htm and do check out the pictures at http://odur.let.rug.nl/~vannoord/svejk.html.
Thank you so much, Jairo, for reminding me of this book.
My father, being an army doctor and a psychiatrist, would have been especially interested in this good soldier! And, of course, the unique humour.
