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
