Description
Carl Jung and Alcoholics Anonymous: A Spiritual Journey of Individuation This book explores the connection between Carl Jung's concept of individuation and the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. New communications between Jung and Bill Wilson, founder of A.A., have been uncovered, revealing a previously unknown side to their relationship. Jung's work on addiction is presented alongside the history of A.A., providing insight into how the organization's spiritual approach was influenced by Jung's ideas. The book also delves into the psychological and behavioural manifestations of alcoholism, using detailed case histories to illustrate its complexities. By examining the intersection of psychology and spirituality, this book offers a fresh perspective on addiction and recovery.
