Description

Imagination, Illness and Injury: A Jungian Approach to Somatic Perception This book explores how our perceptions are influenced by our physical experiences. Melanie Starr Costello examines the psychological factors behind perceptual limitations and distortions, linking somatic manifestations with their resolution. Costello applies Jungian theory to various cases, attributing psychosomatic phenomena to common cognitive processes. She analyzes the role of illness in life narratives and interprets the appearance of somatic phenomena during important phases of treatment. This fresh perspective challenges established views on psychosomatics, offering a new understanding of the psychotherapy client as a unified whole. Jungian analysts, psychoanalysts, and psychotherapists will benefit from the clinical applications of archetypal theory presented in this book.
