Active imagination and the Red Book: The emergence of analytical psychology as a distinct discipline of psychotherapy
Active imagination is one of Jung’s most original contributions to the understanding of the dynamics of the psyche and to working with the contents of the unconscious and yet he only sparingly references the subject in the Collected Works. His own self-experimentation documented in the Red Book took the form of entering into waking fantasies and dialoguing with the characters that appeared. The development of this approach as a systematic way of engaging with the inner world made analytical psychology a distinct discipline of psychotherapy beyond the cure of neuroses. This seminar will explore Jung’s active imagination as this is elucidated in the Red Book and Black Books, its implications for the understanding of the psyche, and its role in individuation.
