The Symbolic Quest - (Princeton Paperbacks) by Edward C Whitmont (Paperback)

This book, "The Symbolic Quest," by Edward C.

Whitmont, is a groundbreaking exploration of the human symbolizing capacities and their role in healing and transformation.

Dr.

Whitmont presents a revolutionary view that the instinctual urge for meaning is served by these symbolizing capacities, which have been repressed in our time.

Through practical insights and differentiations, this book offers a clear and lucid statement of C.G.

Jung's discoveries about the archetypal world and the self.

The author enriches the meaning of the myth of the self by taking us beyond the language of "disease" and "symptom" into another language world, the world of "dis-ease" and "symbol" and "therapeia." This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the symbolic approach to healing and transformation.
