The Social History of the Unconscious, v. 1 - Archaeology of the Mind (Paperback, Revised edition)

The author applies the techniques of psychoanalysis to recent archaeological findings in order to trace the psychological development of humanity. He explores how the mind originated, how cultures developed, the conflict between matriarchy and patriarchy, and the nature of patriarchal paranoia which he asserts was and continues to be the source of warfare. This and the second volume ("Civilisation: Utopia and Tragedy" - ISBN 1-871871-17-4, Open Gate Press) are available as a single volume (1-871871-00-X, Open Gate Press).
