Leading international psychoanalysts and academics offer broad interdisciplinary dimensions using their own unique perspectives on the topic of emotions. Delineating into five parts, this volume focuses on key themes such as emotions, imagination and method; the emotional basis of archetypes and complexes; relational trauma; mapping contagion across cultures; the contribution from neuroscience and, finally, dreams and the transcendent. Clinical cases presented underline the important role unconscious, disassociated emotions play in the formation of symptomatology and how wholeness is facilitated through their acceptance.
This collection offers a timely contribution to the interdisciplinary study of emotions placing Jungian psychology firmly within that framework. It will be of great interest to Jungian analysts, trainees, psychotherapists, as well as interdisciplinary academic researchers interested in methodology, unconscious processes, transference and dreams.
