Elizabeth Brodersen - Jungian Perspectives on Rebirth and Renewal: Phoenix Rising

JUNGIAN PERSPECTIVES ON REBIRTH AND RENEWAL

This book brings together an international selection of contributors on the themes of rebirth and renewal. With their emphasis on evolutionary ancestral memories, creation myths, and dreams, the chapters in this collection explore the indigenous and primordial bases of these concepts.

Presented in eight parts, the book elucidates the importance of indirect, associative, mythological thinking within Jungian psychology and the efficacy of working with images as symbols to access unconscious creative processes. explores the mythopoetic, visionary dimensions of rebirth and renewal that give literary expression to indigenous people/primordial psyche re-navigated through popular literature. The chapters both mirror and synchronize a rebirth of Jungian and non-Jungian academic interest in indigenous peoples, creation myths, oral traditions, and narrative dialogue as the primordial psyche worldwide, and the book includes one chapter supplemented by an online video.

This collection will be inspiring reading for academics and students of analytical psychology, Jungian, and post-Jungian studies and mythology, as well as analytical psychologists, Jungian analysts, and Jungian psychotherapists.
