Psychotherapy - Softcover

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

Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998) was the foremost student of C. G. Jung, with whom she worked closely from 1934 until his death in 1961. A founder of the C. G. Jung Institute of Zurich, she published widely on subjects including alchemy, dreams, fairy tales, personality types, and psychotherapy.
