Description: This massive work brings together essays and an occasional interview by 19 women and three men committed to a cross-cultural, holistic integration of psychology and spirituality for women. O'Brien's title piece explores the spiral as an image of the journey to perfection via cyclical stages in which we delve down to encounter obstacles (like attachment, dependency, or self-hate), expand outward into new awareness, reach inward at times of introversion, and soar upward toward transcendence. Uneven but often stimulating. EC- Amazon.
