Description
Book SynopsisWeiner and Simmons show us how to rely on the natural, spontaneous images that emerge from our dreams, daily life, relationship problems, and symptoms as the seeds of our own healing. We must recognize that our problems have not been randomly inflicted on us; they have a purpose, to act as guideposts pointing the way toward healing and wholeness.
Trade ReviewIn this valuable book the reader will discover how the body speaks, and when we listen, we’re on an exciting path of self discovery. The authors provide a rich medley, intermingling psychological theory and spirituality, fleshing out the principles and practice of Jungian techniques with case studies. -- Jane Simon, M.D., Associate Attending, St. Luke?s Roosevelt Hospital Center and Medical Director, Blanton Peale Counseling Center
The authors' ability to interweave illustrations from clinical cases, popular culture, ancient scripture, and literature are impressive as indicators of their ability to embrace the challenge of wisdom in their own lives, and also provide an alternative to the Freudian-based models of psychoanalytic thought...These writers help to open new worlds of thinking about developmental psychological issues, and new ways of writing about these experiences. They make a valuable contribution to knowledge, and to the challenges of the future. -- Roy Tietze, PhD, Marymount Manhattan College
