Description
C. G. Jung's groundbreaking work on active imagination has shaped the creative art psychotherapies of today. This collection of Jung's writings, gathered together for the first time, offers a unique insight into his therapeutic method. Jung developed active imagination as a way to heal himself from within, using the power of imagination and fantasies to reconnect with his creative spirit. During a period of intense inner turmoil, Jung turned to the symbolic play of his childhood to rediscover his creative self. He shared his remarkable story of self-healing in a 1925 seminar and his memoirs, detailing the experiments that led to the development of active imagination. This therapeutic method is based on the natural healing function of the imagination, and its many expressions. Joan Chodorow presents Jung's texts in context, weaving together his writings with contributions from Jungian authors and artists. This collection provides a valuable resource for understanding the origins of creative art psychotherapies and the power of imagination in healing and self-discovery.
