Living Psyche: A Jungian Analysis in Pictures Psychotherapy

Living Psyche: A Jungian Analysis in Pictures Psychotherapy by Edinger, Edward F.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780933029521.

The paintings in this book provide a rare oppurtunity to experience the work of an artist and the reality of the living psyche. The patient/artist began analysis at the age of 36 with the chief complaint that, in spite of of a sucessful career in the arts, he had lost his sense of purpose in life and was on the verge of despair. The pictures were done over a period of five years during the course of Jungian analysis. They touch on all the major themes of the analysis and constitute a remarkable record of an analytic experience that ranged from the heights to the depths, from the infernal to the sublime.
