About

Gary Rosenthal

Gary Rosenthal is a transpersonal psychotherapist, and a poet and writer of nonfiction prose. While these are separate disciplines, they can't help but inform each other. And what may be distinctive about the writing--whether poetry or prose--is that it seems to report from a seldom explored intersection where four avenues of vision meet: the psychological, the mythic, the historical/political, and the spiritually nondual. (You won't find that on Fox, CNN, or in The So and Such Poetry Review). And in its finer moments, perhaps... the prose doesn't stray too far from poetry.

Re-Visioning Narcissism: Healing Heresies for Polarized Times

Greek poets were writing about narcissism over 2000 years ago. They gave us the myth of Narcissus, from which narcissism was first named. Yet like an underreported, contagious virus, it has spread into all the nooks and crannies of our culture, even its White House. And when American psychiatry’s official manual estimates that its prevalence in Americans could be as low as zero percent, it should be evident that narcissism is being narrowly conceived. And hence, badly in need of a “re-visioning.” The survival of American democracy—and the fate of our species—may depend on it.
