Wer romanische oder gotische Kirchen besucht, Mythen, Märchen, Fabeln oder Legenden liebt, wer die Sprache des Unbewussten wie in unseren Träumen besser verstehen will und wer schließlich in die Alltags- oder Werbesprache lauscht, der wird häufig auf Tiere stoßen: auf reale und auf Fabelwesen. Sie tragen vielschichtige Bedeutungen, halten Aussagen für und über uns bereit. Sie werden zu Symbolen, d. h., sie schließen Zugänge auf zum Seelischen und darüber hinaus zu transpersonalen Bereichen. Dieses Lexikon stellt die wichtigsten Tiersymbolträger aus dem abendländischen Kulturbereich von AZ vor und bietet darüber hinaus Einblicke in die Tiersymbolik außereuropäischer Kulturen. Dabei werden Erkenntnisse aus alten Mythen der Völker, aus vergleichender Religionsbetrachtung, aus Astronomie, Astrologie, Mystik, Tiefenpsychologie und Volkskunde prägnant und unterhaltsam vermittelt.

Schizophrenia: whether it's the associations it conjures or the people it brings to mind, it is a word we all have a view on. How we perceive it - and how we treat people living with it - is at the core of how we understand mental health.
But what do we really know? How much time do we spend listening? Do we truly comprehend this complex and often contradictory diagnosis?
In The Heartland Nathan Filer, mental health nurse and award winning writer, takes us on a journey into the psychiatric wards he once worked on. He also invites us to spend time with world-leading experts, and with some extraordinary people who share their own stories - true stories - about living with this strange and misunderstood condition.
The Heartland debunks myths, challenges assumptions and offers fresh insight into what it means to be mad.
