For Jung, the beautiful and brilliantly creative 28-year old
Christiana Morgan was an inspired force whose path in self-analysis
paralleled his own quest for personal knowledge. By teaching Morgan
the trance-like technique of active imagination, Jung helped her
embark on a series of archetypal adventures which she depicted in
paintings of great virtuosity and he candidly recounted at a
seminar given to some of his closest followers. Through his
eloquent description of the fiery, mythic visions of a woman
discovering her repressed sexuality and feminine power, Jung
reveals how deeply this encounter challenged his understanding of
feminine psychology.
These two volumes bring together for the first time colour
reproductions of Morgan's paintings with a complete transcript of
the seminar.

Christiana Morgan was an erotic muse who influenced
twentieth-century psychology and inspired its male creators,
including C. G. Jung, who saw in her the quintessential "anima
woman." Here Claire Douglas offers the first biography of this
remarkable woman, exploring how Morgan yearned to express her
genius yet sublimated it to spark not only Jung but also her own
lover Henry A. Murray, a psychologist who with her help invented
the thematic apperception test (TAT). Douglas recounts Morgan's own
contributions to the study of emotions and feelings at the Harvard
Psychological Clinic and vividly describes the analyst's turbulent
life: her girlhood in a prominent Boston family; her difficult
marriage; her intellectual awakening in postwar New York; her
impassioned analysis with Jung, including her "visions" of a
woman's heroic quest, many of which furthered his work on
archetypes; her love affairs and experiences with sexual
experimentation; her alcoholism; and, finally, her tragic
death.
