Riassunto

Jung's discovery of active imagination is one of the most important milestones in his personal and professional life. Prompted by the trauma of his break up with Freud, he developed a method of self healing which later formed the basis of his analytic practice and is now regarded as the origin of non-directive psychotherapy and creative arts therapies.
Jungian analyst, Joan Chodorow brings together a key selection of Jung's writings. In her introduction to this selection of his writings Joan Chodorow explains clearly Jung's method of focusing the conscious mind on unconscious processes as a means of achieving self-knowledge and individuation.

Product Description:

Jung saw active engagement with the unconscious as the way to gradually transform and dissolve difficult psychological problems. The trauma of his break with Freud prompted Jung to find a method of self healing which later formed the basis of his analytic practice and is now regarded as the origin of non-directive psychotherapy and creative arts therapies. This book contains a selection of Jung's key writings on active imagination, showing how he developed the method over many years and came to realise its importance for achieving both self-knowledge and individuation. In her introduction, Jungian analyst, Joan Chodorow explains clearly the complex ideas behind active imagination and the practical stages involved in the process: letting the unconscious come up and coming to terms with the unconscious. She looks at how the liberation of patients through their own efforts brings important benefits, but also raises questions about the role of the analyst.
