Jung's Technique of Active Imagination and Desoille's Directed
Waking Dream Method brings together Carl Jung's active imagination
and Robert Desoille's "reve eveille dirige/directed waking dream"
method (RED). It studies the historical development of these
approaches in Central Europe in the first half of the 20th century
and explores their theoretical similarities and differences,
proposing an integrated framework of clinical practice. The book
aims to study the wider European context of the 1900s which
influenced the development of both Jung's and Desoille's methods.
This work compares the spatial metaphors of interiority used by
both Jung and Desoille to describe the traditional concept of inner
psychic space in the waking dreams of Jung's active imagination and
Desoille's RED. It also attempts a broader theoretical comparison
between the procedural aspects of both RED and active imagination
by identifying commonalities and divergences between the two
approaches. This book is a unique contribution to analytical
psychology and will be of great interest for academics, researchers
and post-graduate students interested in the use of imagination and
mental imagery in analysis, psychotherapy and counselling. The
book's historical focus will be of particular relevance to Jungian
and Desoillian scholars since it is the first of its kind to trace
the connections between the two schools and it gives a detailed
account of Desoille's early life and his first written works. This
book was a Gradiva Award nominee for 2021.
