A Holistic Approach to Biology Derived from Pathological Data in Man.

Foreword by Oliver Sacks Kurt Goldstein (1878-1965) was already an established neuropsychologist when he emigrated from Germany to the United States in the 1930s. This book, his magnum opus and widely regarded as a modern classic in psychology and biology, grew out of his dissatisfaction with traditional natural science techniques for analyzing living beings. It offers a broad introduction to the sources and ranges of application of the holistic or organismic research program that has since become a standard part of biological thought. Goldstein was especially concerned with the breakdown of organization and the failure of central controls that take place in catastrophic responses to situations such as physical or mental illness. But he was equally attuned to the amazing powers of the organism to readjust to such catastrophic losses, if only by withdrawal to a more limited range that it could manage by a redistribution of its reduced energies, thus reclaiming as much wholeness as new circumstances allowed.

Goldstein's theses in The Organism have had an important impact on philosophical and psychological thought throughout the twentieth century, as evidenced in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Georges Canguilhem, Ernst Cassirer, and Ludwig Binswanger.

Review: If you’re interested in what came before Freud and Rogers, then this book is a must. Years ahead of it’s time and the roots of what we would now call “trauma informed practice” - can’t recommend highly enough.

Review: Sheer genius. Goldstein is highly referenced by some of the classic thinkers in psychology and physiology. Here is where you find the original reference to 'self actualization' and this is where Maslow encountered it. This is classic systems thinking on many levels. It applies to the physical body as well as how the body functions mentally. If you are working in Mind-Body medicine, psychology or even yoga therapy, this is the place to start from a pioneer in the field. Standard reference on holistic biology, beautifully done re-issue.
