The domain of psychology is shared with medicine, anthropology, philosophy and literature. Analyzing the human mind at various levels: molecular, biological, social, phenomenological and spiritual, involves different methods and conceptualizations. Nomothetic approach (in theoretical and experimental studies) provides a generalized view of the human being, while the idiographic approach (assumed by clinical psychologist, novelists or filmmakers) offers a description of a unique person. Considering the complexity of the human mind, all these levels of analysis and approaches are needed and complementary. The human mind integrates what is bodily and spiritual, personal and collective, temporal and eternal. No animal, no artificial intelligence or robot can do it.Psychological thoughts evolve through millennia, including mythic, religious, social, philosophical and medical components. Psychology did not start in ancient Greece, thus the book covers the historical periods beyond what typical textbooks present. The Neolithic humans had the same intelligence and capacity of reflection as the modern Homo sapiens. Lack of written documents from the pre-historic times is not proof of the ignorance of the human ancestors, but rather ours. The book is addressed to student of psychology, professional psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, physicians, social workers, nurses and a broad intellectual audience.
