Applied Jungian Psychology

Simple, original, very successful; Jung at his most accessible. A framework of narrative within which to illustrate complex concepts. Norman - successful, 30 and in love. Married Nancy, had two children and loved them all. But something was missing. Happiness? Contentment? Something! At 36 Norman fell apart. Went into Jungian analysis on his knees. Lost his family, left his analyst and then Norman came back... Entwining his own story with that of Norman, the analyst-narrator brings the reader into the consulting room during a shattering crisis - a crisis that could happen to anyone, at any time.

The major concepts of C.G. Jung - persona, shadow, anima and animus, complexes, active imagination, projection, typology, and individuation - are powerfully presented as a living part of Norman's process. And the analyst's. 'So many Jungian writers seem almost to hate the idea of imparting their knowledge and it shows in the contorted, inflated and tortured language they use - reading it is like untangling spoiled knitting. The Survival Papers has none of that. Here is an author with the ability to put complex things and real-life situations into words that laymen can understand. It's a rare ability.'
