Structured around a series of lectures presented at the Jung Institute of Chicago in a program entitled "Jungian Psychology ahd Human Spirituality: Liberation from Tribalism in Religous Life," this book-length essay attacks the related problems of human evil, spiritual narcissism, secularism and ritual, and grandiosity. Moore dares to insist that we need to stop ignoring these issues and provides clear sighted guidance for where to start and what to expect. Along the way he pulls together many important threads form recent findings in theology, spirituality, and psychology and brings us to a point where we can conceive of embarking on a corrective course.

Editorials
"If you would understand the deepest roots of terrorism, greed, and religoius fanaticism, read Facing the Dragon. But be forwarned: you may find some offshoots in your own garden."
June Singer
Jungian analyst, author of Boundaries of the Soul

"I like this book very much. It extends the work of Kohut and others on grandiosity, that mysterious overestimation of ourselves that often disturbs our childhood. If this grandiosity is quashed too early, it is a disaster. If it is not disciplined at all, it is equally damaging. The question is what to do with the God energy in a time of secularism. Moore gives frightening answers to questions people haven't even begun to ask. This is a brave and important book."
Robert Bly
Author of Iron John, The Sibling Story Society and The Insatiable Soul

"By exploring and explaining the 'deep structures' in the human psyche, Dr. Moore gives those of us who long to take recovery deeper a book full of useful and life-changing ideas and insights that will help us do just that. Recovering from any addiction is true 'spiritual warfare.' This book further arms readers to fight our life-and-death battles."
John Lee
Author of The Flying Boy: Healing the Wounded Man
and Growing Yourself Back Up
