Jung on Active Imagination

<p>Jung's discovery of active imagination is one of the most important milestones in his personal and professional life. Prompted by the trauma of his break up with Freud, he developed a method of self healing which later formed the basis of his analytic practice and is now regarded as the origin of non-directive psychotherapy and creative arts therapies.<br>Jungian analyst, Joan Chodorow brings together a key selection of Jung's writings. In her introduction to this selection of his writings Joan Chodorow explains clearly Jung's method of focusing the conscious mind on unconscious processes as a means of achieving self-knowledge and individuation.</p> Acknowledgements; Introduction; 1 Confrontation with the unconscious; 2 The transcendent function; 3 'The technique of differentiation between the ego and the figures of the unconscious'; 4 Commentary on The Secret of the Golden Flower; 5 The aims of psychotherapy; 6 A study in the process of individuation; 7 The Tavistock lectures; 8 The psychological aspects of the Kore; 9 On the nature of the psyche; 10 Three letters to Mr O.
