Title: The Centrality of Image on the Path to the Unconscious
Abstract: Jungian Art Therapy: A Guide to Dreams, Images, and Analytical Psychology by Nora Swan-Foster is an introductory text for clinicians and all of those interested in Jungian psychology. Although presented as a manual for art therapists, it is both a sophisticated yet easy to understand journey through Jung’s life of the mind and soul. Of import is the clarity with which Swan-Foster differentiates analytical psychology from traditional psychoanalysis through the explication of methods that use image as the medium through which a dialogue between conscious and unconscious comes alive. The volume also provides an important historical note highlighting the lives and contributions of art therapists Margaret Naumburg, Florence Cane, and Irene Champernowne.
