He finds spirituality inherent in sex, and at the same time explores the many ways in which spiritual values can sometimes wound our sexuality.

His basic hypothesis: the more high tech there is, the more important high touch becomes. The more psychiatry is influenced by neuroimaging and neurogenetics as a viewpoint from the outside, the more an affected individual needs ...
