Since its beginning, depth psychology has attempted to change the status quo of individual and cultural life by probing beneath surface appearances. Lyn Cowan explores a number of subjects, considering what possible meanings and implications for change might lie behind the conventional attitudes toward such subjects as abortion, gender and sexuality, language, memory and melancholy. The author puts forward the argument that, although psychology and subversion are not usually thought of as belonging together, they should be. Such a view, presented clearly with humour and insight, offers a way to think differently about usual things and yields fresh meaning to some of the pressing dilemmas of our time and how we as individuals may respond to them.

Reviews for Tracking the White Rabbit: A Subversive View of Modern Culture

There is scarcely a page of this fine book that did not bring me a fresh insight... in the process of actively engaging with her lively intellect you are forced to question many of your own assumptions and in this way come to a closer awareness of your own truths and their origins. This is a book to be kept close at hand, a pleasing antidote to both conscious and unconscious stuckness, smugness and sense of certainty; be warned ....this book could change your life. - Mantis, 2004 From its beginnings in Paris and Vienna, depth psychology was carried on behind closed doors with odd people. When having nice days and no problems rule, psychology must remain subversive and eccentric to be worth its salt. - James Hillman Lyn Cowan has the necessary dary eye to see what brighter eyes miss, the humor to make it bearable, and the incisive insight to make it count. You can rely on her to be a sure guide any time you drop with irresistable force into the unfamiliar world underground . - Robert Bosnak - Jungian Analyst
