Synopsis

Based on extensive research and developed with the support of the IAAP, this fascinating new work presents the precious value of the special legacy of C.G. Jung, which he himself defined as Active Imagination, through a collection of unpublished contributions by some of the brightest Jungian analysts and renowned representatives from the worlds of Art, Culture, Physics and Neurosciences.

In addition to presenting the genesis, development and results of Chiara Tozzi's research on Active Imagination, this volume explores the amplifications of Active Imagination in light of a range of disciplines. Contributors from all across the world give life to a multifaceted representation of this technique, showing the resonance that Active Imagination can have in the scientific, artistic and cultural fields, focussing on topics such as neuroscience, physics, literature, film, music, dance and painting.

Spanning two volumes, which are also accessible as standalone books, this essential collection will be of great interest to Jungian analysts, psychologists, psychoanalysts, or anyone interested in discovering more about the fascinating psychotherapeutic practice of Active Imagination and its interdisciplinary uses.
