The Secret World of Drawings: A Jungian Approach to Healing Through Art / Edition 1

by Gregg M. Furth, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Overview

Here is a book so helpful and practical that a wide variety of psychotherapists, health care practitioners, educators and artists continue to replace their much-beloved, dog-eared copies every few years. The author's clarity of vision and deep compassion for those in need -- whether adult or child, counselor or client -- has led him to offer this succint explication of Jung's ideas as they apply to the symbolism of imagery from the unconscious. Both the text and the many illustrations allow us to see how a healing path may be found through the expression of self in drawings and paintings. A rich reference section invites the reader to an in-depth voyage through other readings in art therapy, Jungian psychology, mythology and symbolism.
