Description

Explore the intersection of psychology and modern healthcare with Modern Myths and Medical Consumerism: The Asclepius Complex. This scholarly work examines the loss of limits in today's technological medicine and how the denial of death contributes to an uncontrollable, consumeristic multiplication of medical needs. Drawing from C. G. Jung's analytical psychology, the author provides a symbolic interpretation rooted in archetypal, philosophical, and socio-psychoanalytic ideas. The text moves from a medical to a psychoanalytical paradigm, offering a deep look at how our relationship with health has shifted. By using archetypal material from Greek sources, Lanfranchi depicts ideal sources of medicine to help readers understand the deeper psychological drivers behind modern medical consumption.
