Dying and creating or, could we put it the other way round,
creating and dying? Rosemary Gordon has chosen the first, the
challenging title and the one that stimulates the reader to find
out how they inter-relate. There are essential links between the
facts and the concepts. C. G. Jung devoted much attention to the
psychology of death, re-birth and transformation: the author
acknowledges her debt to him, to his creative spirit and to the
depth of his understanding. As she is a working analytical
psychologist, much of the material in her. But she is also a
theorist: the human and the academic come together.Many Westerners
in the course of their daily lives conceal their fears of death and
so they deprive themselves of the possibility of getting into touch
with the hidden sources of creativeness. Patients in analysis
communicate some of their deepest feelings and thoughts about
preparing for death, and grieving, and dying.
This book encompasses a wide range of author's diverse explorations
and provides readers with rich food for thought-whether their
interest is in clinical or cultural issues of the psyche. It
re-examines the idea of the self, and explores the distinction
between symbols and symbolic experience.
This book focuses on a number of psychodynamic concepts, processes,
symptoms, and also achievements in terms of the bridge and the
bridging functions. It deals with questions of psychological
growth, creativity, and the arts.
This volume will be of enormous interest and value to the growing
number of people qualified both in the established and the new
training societies for analysts and therapists, or studying to
enter them. Within it theory and practice are closely interwoven,
demonstrating how theories and models emerge, both from the study
of earlier pioneering publications and from day to day experience,
and are tested time and time again in the process of a group of
practitioners accepting them as viable. An impressive and creative
blend of the characteristics which this profession demands of its
practitioners is in evidence here, combining originality with
passion for their subject and the flexibility required to develop
their own pattern of thought. 'In the practice of modern analytical
psychology it has become of central importance to reorganise,
analyse and interpret projections and introjections of many sorts,
the patient's transference, the analyst's counter-transference, and
the dialectical interaction between the two, which is descriptively
termed transference/counter-transference.
