Healing Civilization, by Claudio Naranjo, MD.- Foreword by Jean Houston (Print)
Bringing Personal Transformation into the Societal Realm through Education and the Integration of the Intra-Psychic Family
In this ground-breaking and long-selling book, Dr. Claudio Naranjo, the noted Chilean psychiatrist and consciousness pioneer who first brought the "Enneagram of Personality" to the US, applies his more than 30 years of transformational work with individuals and groups to the societal realm. What this means is that we now have both the inspiration and the intra-psychic tools to heal the world from the inside out.
The doctor has taken the pulse of our modern way of life and concluded that it is sick, very sick —perhaps terminally ill.
How did this dangerous state of affairs come to be— and is there a cure?
The Diagnosis: "The great problem of civilization is none other than civilization itself!"
The Root Cause: Patriarchy — a condition that is deeper, wider, and closer to home than we realize. For patriarchy thrives not only in the outer world, but also within the workings of our own conditioned minds. A virus masquerading as ourselves, it is killing life on the planet — and within us.
The Remedy: To transform our consciousness by integrating our "three brains" -— the head (Inner Father), the heart (Inner Mother), and the instincts in the belly (Inner Child). To bring our own Inner Family into balance.
Because healing civilization is an inside job.

What if violence, inequality, and environmental destruction all share the same root cause? In Healing Civilization, Dr. Naranjo exposes this hidden source and offers a transformative solution: balancing the "three loves" within us—head, heart, and instincts (belly center)—to heal civilization from the inside out.
"Claudio Naranjo gives us back our once-and-future birthright in Healing Civilization... the resolution and bringing of new light to the long dark night of civilization." —Dr. Jean Houston, author, The Possible Human, Program Director, United Nations
"A courageous call by an innovative scholar. Dr. Naranjo points to pervasive patriarchal structures inherited from our distant past — but not inherent in humans. Healing Civilization may help us devise paths toward fostering fully-alive, compassionate human beings who can evolve toward Planetary Citizenship." —Hazel Henderson, author, Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy
"Claudio Naranjo is at the forefront of those working to transform the world. For anyone wanting to make a difference for the better, Healing Civilization is a must-read!" —Michael Toms, New Dimensions Radio
