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.

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.
