This thesis, using an algo-heuristic qualitative method of research, takes the literary course of a nonlinear, depth psychological approach to provide those possessed, mythically speaking, by the journeying one, the daimon, with a graphic depiction of the pathogenesis of the panic attack. In stepping through the portals of mythology, archetypal psychology, alchemy, and the nonlinear dynamics of chaos science, readers will come to discover the imaginal reality of Pan, a production of the inverted world of soul.

On the continuum, with the incorporation of the use of mythological, alchemical, symbolical, and mathematical language in this thesis, an imaginal Odysseus is given the opportunity to re-imagine the chaotic, turbulent flow patterns of psychopathology from a radically different perspective. At this critical juncture, if the journeying one continues onward, this forward leap of psychological faith allows the image to come to its own conclusion formulated in the psychological equation of the logic of the suffering soul.
