Most people are not aware that Charles Dickens provided a model for psycho spiritual therapy well before the advent of psychology as a recognized science. A Christmas Carol is not just a seasonal offering; it is a message of hope and change to anyone stuck in an ego-driven life. This book is a psychological analysis of the tale, and it identifies the wounded inner child, revealing what happens to a society that abuses and abandons its children. Actually two books in one, the text includes the original classic and Dr. Cusumano's analysis of the story.
