Description
Book SynopsisThe Wisdom of J. Marvin Spiegelman, Ph.D., Volume I - Selected Writings, is filled with the rich wisdom and deep knowledge acquired throughout many years of personal and professional experience, as a Jungian Analyst, teacher, creative thinker and person on a quest. J. Marvin Spiegelman, Ph.D., (1926 - 2017) was a Diplomate in clinical psychology and graduate of the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland. He had his own private practice in California. He taught at UCLA and USC, consulted and lectured widely in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. He was a prolific writer, beginning with his first book, The Tree of Life. It was part of the psycho-mythology series, in which he explored the age-old passions of lust, power, betrayal, greed, and the other appetites of the human soul, as well the psychic needs for love, creativity and religion. Using the technique of active imagination, he invited the reader to join his universal journey into the psyche. Through the analysis of world myth, he explored the structures of the archetypes as they relate to the interior world of the individual. Dr. Spiegelman was an explorer of life and he wanted to share his experiences and knowledge. The Unhealed Healer is primarily a record of Dr. Spiegelmans experiences [during] the first four years of an eight-year Reichian therapy with the famed Dr. Francis Israel Regardie.
