Dr. Edward Hoffman, a world-renowned thinker and writer in humanistic psychology, reveals how the Kabbalah exerted a profound influence on the establishment and growth of Western psychological thought through such towering thinkers as Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, and Abraham Maslow. With a new introduction and updated bibliography, The Way of Splendor: The 25th Anniversary begins with an historical presentation of Kabalistic metaphysics and cosmology, then discusses the psychological dimensions of Kabbalah on such topics as dreams, meditation, sexuality, community, health and emotions. The Way of Splendor is a classic yet timely book that shows how to integrate spirituality with counseling, emphasizing the day-to-day relevance of the visionary experience.

Reviews for The Way of Splendor: Jewish Mysticism and Modern Psychology, updated 25th Anniversary Edition

Hoffman's classic work on Kabbalah and psychology was a great contribution to learning and creative thought when it was first released and it still has a significant impact on both these disciplines. * Jewish Book World * Hoffman‘s book provides helpful ways to better understand the distinctions between modern Western psychology and that of the perennial psychology, as informed by the Jewish sapiential tradition. For his exposition of these important insights, Hoffman is to be commended. -- Samuel Bendeck Sotillos
