In this book Shirley See Yan Ma provides a Jungian perspective
on the Chinese tradition of footbinding and considers how it can be
used as a metaphor for the suffering of women and the repression of
the feminine, as well as a symbol for hope, creativity and
spiritual transformation.
Drawing on personal history, popular myths, literature, and work
with clients, Footbinding discusses how modern women still
symbolically find their feet bound through this ancient practice.
Detailed case studies from Western and Asian women demonstrate how
Jungian analysis can loosen these psychological bindings allowing
the client to reconnect with the feminine archetype, discover their
own identity and take control of their own destiny.
This original book will be of great interest to Jungian analysts
looking for a new perspective. It will also be of interest to
anyone studying Chinese culture and psychology.
