Jung developed this concept between the years 1913 and 1916, following his break with Freud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Book:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring this time, he was disoriented and experienced intense inner turmoil—he suffered from lethargy and fears, and his moods threatened to overwhelm him. Jung searched for a method to heal himself from within, and finally decided to engage with the impulses and images of his unconscious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was through the rediscovery of the symbolic play of his childhood that Jung was able to reconnect with his creative spirit. In a 1925 seminar and again in his memoirs, he tells the remarkable story of his experiments during this time that led to his self-healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJung learned to develop an ongoing relationship with his lively creative spirit through the power of imagination and fantasies. He termed this therapeutic method \"active imagination.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis method is based on the natural healing function of the imagination, and its many expressions. Chodorow clearly presents the texts, and sets them in the proper context. She also interweaves her discussion of Jung's writings and ideas with contributions from Jungian authors and artists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bust-Down Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48075939610939,"sku":"0691015767","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/2077\/7531\/files\/9780691015767.jpg?v=1779463483","url":"https:\/\/bustdownbooks.com\/products\/jung-active-imagination-chodorow-9780691015767","provider":"Bust-Down Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
