While in training at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich in 1988,
Susan Olson suffered the loss of her daughter in an auto accident.
In this intimate and unique exploration, Olson uses C. G. Jung's
psychological framework to describe her journey through tragedy,
guided by a series of vivid dreams. In Images of the Dead in Grief
Dreams: A Jungian View of Mourning, Jung's definition of the dream
as a "harbinger of fate, a portent and comforter, a messenger of
the gods" evolves from theory into embodied insight as Olson
describes her encounter with the transforming power of grief.
Drawing from personal experience as well as theoretical and
clinical material, Olson presents premonitory dreams, which occur
before the loss of a loved one, and grief dreams, which follow a
loved one's death, and analyzes both according to Jung's method of
dream interpretation. Sharing her own dreams as well as those of
other mourners, Olson asserts that such dreams play a crucial role
in the dreamer's emotional recovery and psychological development,
otherwise known as the process of individuation. She sensitively
offers an assessment of the stages of grief and draws on the Greek
myth of Demeter and Persephone, Jung's memoirs, and other
literature to amplify her experience of mourning. In this rare
combination of grief theory and dream work, Images of the Dead in
Grief Dreams is both a grief memoir and an extensive study of C. G.
Jung's view of the mourning process. This fully updated revised
edition will be of immense interest to Jungian analysts and
trainees, academics, psychologists, students of Jungian dream
analysis, and to all who have suffered loss.
