We live in the age of soul assistance. Millions of people seek psychotherapy – in the practices of licensed doctors or psychologists, with alternative practitioners, counselors, coaches, or gurus. "Soul Magic" takes us back to the origins of this boom and explores the groundbreaking shift in thinking that made the soul an object of knowledge and psychology one of the most important sciences of the 20th century. Within a few decades, from the turn of the century to the post-war period, an intellectual revolution occurred that continues to shape our understanding of humanity today.
