Summary:
"Dr. Alexander Batthyány's 'Threshold' is the first major account of
terminal
lucidity
: the remarkable return of clarity and cognition at the end of
life
.
Terminal
lucidity
is a relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon. Near the end of
life
, many people--including those who are comatose, or have suffered brain injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or deep dementia--experience what seems a miraculous return. They regain their clarity and energy, are able to talk with families and caregivers, recall their lives, and in some cases report conversations and details that occurred while they were unconscious or seemingly unaware of their surroundings. In this remarkable book, cognitive scientist and Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute and Viktor Frankl Archives Dr. Alexander Batthyány offers the first major account of
terminal
lucidity
, utilizing hundreds of case studies to explore the mind, the body, the nature of consciousness, and what the living can learn from those who are crossing the
border
from
life
to
death
. Astonishing, authoritative, and deeply moving, Threshold opens a doorway into one of
life
's--and
death
's--most provocative mysteries."--From publisher.
Prof. Dr. Alexander Batthyány is Director of the Research Institute for Theoretical Psychology and Personalist Studies at Pázmány Péter University, Budapest and is faculty Professor for Existential Psychotherapy at the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis. He is Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute in Vienna. He is author or editor of more than 15 books, including Threshold. His academic work has been translated into 10 languages. He has been invited to give lectures around the world. Batthyány divides his time between Vienna and the Hungarian countryside, where he and his wife and daughters are developing an alternative intentional community.
