Summary
Carl Gustav Jung: The Practice of Psychotherapy
The Practice of Psychotherapy is a compendium of Jung's texts on general issues of analytical psychotherapy and dream analysis. This work also highlights interesting parallels between the phenomenon of transference and alchemical processes.
"This book ... contains both early and later texts on issues concerning the practice of psychotherapy... The reader will find in these essays not only a brief overview of my views as an active psychotherapist, but also the principles on which psychotherapeutic practice rests. This book also contains a historical study of a phenomenon that can be considered key (...) in any fundamental analysis - the problem of transference, whose fundamental significance was recognized long ago by Freud." wrote Jung himself in the preface to the Swiss edition of The Practice of Psychotherapy from 1958.
