This book builds on the vast clinical experience of Joseph L.
Henderson, who became interested in initiatory symbolism when he
began his analysis with Jung in 1929. Henderson studied this
symbolism in patients' dreams, fantasies, and active imagination,
and demonstrated the archetype of initiation in both men and
women's psychology. After Henderson's book was republished in 2005
Kirsch, Beane Rutter and Singer brought together this collection of
essays to allow a new generation to explore the archetype of
initiation.
Initiation: the Living Reality of an Archetype demonstrates how
the archetype of initiation is seen clinically today. Divided into
distinct parts, the book explores the archetype of initiation in Dr
Henderson's own life, as well as suggesting its importance in:
- clinical practice
- culture
- aging and death.
The chapters in this book amplify and extend the archetype of
initiation from the earliest historical periods up to the present
day. The editors argue that initiation symbolism often underlies
contemporary phenomena, but is rarely recognized; Initiation helps
to bring a new understanding to these experiences.
This book will be of interest to psychotherapists with an
interest in psychoanalysis and analytical psychology, as well as
those training at analytic institutes.
