Biography
Paul Marcus is a training and supervisory analyst at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis in New York City and Co-Chairperson of the discussion group Psychoanalysis and Spirituality at the American Psychoanalytic Association.
"A much-needed work, exploring the psychology of toilet functions on many levels: physical, psychological, social. At a time when many feel the world turning into a huge toilet in which all kinds of attitudes and emotions are being evacuated via war and group tensions, a serious exploration of individual and social evacuation functions could not be more welcome. This work examines many examples of urinary-defecation problems throughout a lifetime coupled with keen, pertinent clinical work and suggestions. Psychic toilets, world toilets, ordinary physical toilets and their difficulties are brought into focus with fresh acumen in ways aimed to help, challenge, and enrich." - Michael Eigen, PhD; author, The Challenge of Being Human, The Sensitive Self, and Contact with the Depth
