Opis

This new combination of Jungian analysis and family therapy gives both systems the opportunity to further their combined mission toward health and wholeness. For Jungian analysts, their analytic container can expand to let in more of the world of marriage, family, and relationships. Likewise, family therapists can encounter the psyche wherever it appears--in a dream as well as the family. Included are two major essays by the editors on intergenerational family crisis and helping families through individuation in relationship.

This collection of essays by such well-known analysts as Murray Stein and Ann Belford Ulanov links Jungian analysis and family therapy, so that Jungian analysts can expand their parameters to allow in the world of marriage, family and relationships, and family therapists can encounter the psyche whenever it appears - in a dream as well as in the dynamics of the family. By integrating the outer world of family with the inner world of the psyche, "Psyche and the Family" should be useful to depth therapists, marriage and family therapists, their clients, and students of both disciplines of psychology.
