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
