Depth psychologist Bill Plotkin describes himself as a psychologist gone wild . As a thinker, author, and wilderness guide, he has been literally breaking new paths for decades. Plotkin s revisioning of human psychology is eco-centric, rather than ego-centric. His vision of what it is to be fully human at every stage of life demands profound relationship with the whole of the world of which we are a part. Here, Plotkin uses the four directions north, south, east, west to describe facets of the self. Each of these facets is vulnerable to wounding which produces damaging sub-personalities. For example, north represents the nurturing adult but a wound here can result in a rescuer or inner critic. Rather than focusing on solving such a problem, Plotkin holistically shows readers how to incorporate the missing and soothe wounds. The resulting wholeness joyfully connects public and private, personal and cultural, the human and the more-than-human.
