Psychotherapy

An insightful exploration of the tenets of psychotherapy, from lauded Jungian psychologist Marie-Louise von Franz

In twelve essays—eight of which appear here in English for the first time—the internationally known analyst Marie-Louise von Franz explores important aspects of psychotherapy from a Jungian perspective. She draws on her many years of practical experience in psychotherapy, her intimate knowledge of Jung's methods and theories, and her wide-ranging interests in fields such as mythology, alchemy, science, and religion to illumine these varied topics:

   •  Projection    •  Transference    •  Dream interpretation    •  Self-realization    •  Group psychology    •  Personality types    •  Active imagination    •  The therapeutic use of hallucinogenic drugs    •  The choice of psychotherapy as a profession    •  The role of religious experience in psychological healing
