Patchwork quilt

Stories and myths emerge as metaphors for everyday life, as a representation of longings and as an attempt to express the core of the human being. The human psyche is highly complex. With the aim of unraveling and understanding it, Psychology emerged, a relatively new science, just over a century old, but which has already covered more than two hundred theories - each with a different approach. This book is a collection of reflections, essays and chronicles that move between some psychological theories, such as psychoanalytic, existential humanist, systemic, behavioral and developmental. What a priori appears to be a "Frankenstein" - because it presents readings from films, fables, practice, legislation and theoretical compilations - is actually a patchwork quilt. These are possibilities to get to know something apparently familiar, but which brings with it all the human complexity in its multiple nuances.
