A Jungian Approach to Transforming Compulsion. Questo articolo non è disponibile.A Jungian Approach to Transforming Compulsion

Obsessions and compulsions have plagued humanity for millennia, and yet no major psychological theory has considered their content to be meaningful―until the work of Carl Jung. This book presents Jung’s symbolic approach to the understanding and treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

The strength-based Jungian perspective restores dignity and efficacy to what can be an experience of frustration and, for the sufferer, humiliation. In this book, Morgan Stebbins employs his 30 years of practice as a clinician, professor and teacher to outline a step-by-step process: we see how obsessional ideas and compulsive actions can be understood from a symbolic standpoint, and how that both changes the personality and heals the suffering from unwanted ideas and urges.

Featuring clinical material throughout, this will be a valuable guide for Jungian analysts, clinicians of all kinds, as well as individuals in advanced study and clinical training who want to learn about the Jungian approach to the spectrum of obsessive and compulsive struggles.
