Chaos and Order in the World of the Psyche

<p>‘I don’t know what’s the matter with me – everything’s upside down; the whole world seems chaotic’</p><p>Chaos may erupt in our lives in many different ways – through death divorce conflict with family friends or colleagues. It is a frightening and negative experience destabilizing the individual and provoking feelings of insecurity. Originally published in English in 1992 the author through her work as a Jungian analyst frequently acted as a companion support and guide to those whose lives were in chaotic turmoil. She describes how therapy helps people to meet chaos to accept and see it in a different way – as a starting point for a new kind of order in their lives. This ‘organic’ order is better suited to their own personal needs and personality and provides the strong and flexible basis necessary to meet the chaos that belongs to life.</p><p>Drawing upon the myths tales and rites of ancient cultures upon modern chaos theory and upon her experience as an analyst the author shows the way through the chaos to a fuller happier and more satisfying life.</p>
