Immanuel Velikovsky presents a sweeping synthesis of psychology, mythology, and history to illustrate how civilisations have unconsciously buried their most traumatic experiences, much like a patient represses personal trauma. Drawing on Freudian concepts and applying them on a civilisational scale, he contends that the recurring patterns of self-destruction in human history are direct symptoms of this collective amnesia. Written with the same provocative authority that defined his earlier works such as Worlds in Collision and Ages in Chaos, this volume challenges orthodox science and psychology alike. It is an urgent, thought-provoking argument that understanding our forgotten past is the key to preventing the self-annihilation of our species.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956362457307,"sku":"2026200008495-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b8abbe1f-d178-4f65-899b-c7805555bafd.png?v=1783500233","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008495-secondhand-mankind-in-amnesia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
