In Shamanic Dimensions of Psychotherapy: Healing through the
Symbolic Process, Robin van Loeben Sels uniquely and honestly
recounts her personal journey toward a shamanic understanding of
psychotherapy. Exploring the disruptive breakthrough of visions and
dreams that occurred during her analysis, personal life, and
psychoanalytic training, van Loeben Sels illustrates how the
phenomenology of ancient shamanism is still alive and how it is a
paradigm for the emergence and maturation of the psyche in people
today. This original book delves into van Loeben Sels's personal
experience of the shaman, identifying such eruptions as a
contemporary version of the archaic shaman's initiatory call to
vocation. The book is split into two parts. It begins by outlining
the shamanic personality in history, recognizing this as an
individual that has been called out of a collectively sanctioned
identity into a creative life, and the unconscious shaman complex
they consequently face, especially in psychotherapeutic
relationships. Practical as well as theoretical, the second part
outlines the shamanic attributes that underline psychotherapeutic
relationships - silence, sound, mask, rhythm, gesture, movement,
and respiration - and usefully describes how to use them as asanas
for consciousness, or vehicles toward psychological awareness. With
clinical examples and personal stories throughout, this book's
unique Jungian perspective addresses contemporary expressions of
the shaman complex in our current world. Shamanic Dimensions of
Psychotherapy: Healing through the Symbolic Process will be
essential reading for Jungian analysts and psychotherapists in
practice and in training, as well as for academics and students of
Jungian and post-Jungian studies. It will be especially helpful and
illuminating to those who have experienced an involuntary plunge
into the depths and who seek ways to articulate their experience.
