Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) était un psychiatre suisse, un penseur influent et le fondateur de la psychologie analytique (également connue sous le nom de psychologie jungienne). L'approche radicale de la psychologie de Jung a eu une influence dans le domaine de la psychologie des profondeurs et dans les mouvements contre-culturels à travers le monde. Jung est considéré comme le premier psychologue moderne à affirmer que la psyché humaine est « par nature religieuse » et à l'explorer en profondeur. Ses nombreux ouvrages majeurs incluent «Psychologie analytique: sa théorie et sa pratique», «L'homme et ses symboles», «Mémoires, rêves, réflexions», «Les œuvres complètes de Carl G. Jung» et «Le livre rouge».

Jung on active imagination pdf par Carl Gustav Jung

All the creative art psychotherapies (art, dance, music, drama, poetry) can trace their roots to C. G. Jung's early work on active imagination. Joan Chodorow here offers a collection of Jung's writings on active imagination, gathered together for the first time. Jung developed this concept between the years 1913 and 1916, following his break with Freud. During this time, he was disoriented and experienced intense inner turmoil --he suffered from lethargy and fears, and his moods threatened to overwhelm him. Jung searched for a method to heal himself from within, and finally decided to engage with the impulses and images of his unconscious. It was through the rediscovery of the symbolic play of his childhood that Jung was able to reconnect with his creative spirit. In a 1925 seminar and again in his memoirs, he tells the remarkable story of his experiments during this time that led to his self-healing. Jung learned to develop an ongoing relationship with his lively creative spirit through the power of imagination and fantasies. He termed this therapeutic method "active imagination."
