Active Imagination in Theory, Practice and Training - Paperback / softback

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value of the special legacy of C.G. Jung, which he himself defined as Active Imagination, through a collection of unpublished contributions by some of the brightest Jungian analysts and renowned representatives from the worlds of Art, Culture, Physics and Neurosciences.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 on Theory, Practice and Training will also include the fundamental theoretical aspects of this technique. The book explores Active Imagination in relation to fundamental contents of Analytical Psychology, such as Individuation, Transformation and comparison with the Shadow, the four psychological functions, C.G. Jung's Red Book, and more. Moreover, the connections between Active Imagination and Sandplay will also be explored, as well as the possibilities of applying the technique with adolescent patients, how it’s considered and proposed in Jungian Training, and some innovative clinical methodologies of Active Imagination.

Spanning two volumes, which are also accessible as stand alone 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.
