In research at the University of Chicago, Dr. Gendlin found that certain specific bodily responses can open up and lead to small steps of new experience. These bodily responses can indicate the steps for interpreting a dream. Theories about dreams differ and give contradictory interpretations. Dr. Gendlin derived 16 questions from the many existing theories to aid you, the dreamer, in the process of interpretation. In this book, Dr. Gendlin teaches you to ask the questions so that your body can respond. You learn to recognize how it feels when a question is about to lead to a breakthrough. You learn to let the question complete itself so that the dream opens and you know without doubt what it is about. The first stage is learning what the dream is about. But this alone may not tell you anything you did not know before. The second stage is getting something new from the dream for your own development. The method developed by Dr. Gendlin solves what was, until now, an insurmountable problem: People could not interpret their own dreams because they always imposed their usual biases on them. Gendlin shows you how to open yourself to a new step.

Twice-Told Tales are not only for the young. Many have discovered the “magnificent, colorful, many-sided, fantasy world of fairy tales” as children, but, as Hans Dieckmann points out, we can rediscover their value as adults.
“As with all great art, the fairy tale’s deepest meaning will be different for each person, and different for the same person at various moments in his life.” (Bruno Bettelheim, The Uses of Enchantment)
By the use of case histories, Dr. Dieckmann recounts ways in which “the greatest treasures of the soul” can be revealed in fairy tales. He graphically shows how fairy tales can give “color and vivacity to a life grown empty, sterile, and desolate.” Dr. Dieckmann interprets the symbolic significance of many individual fairy tales and relates their meaning to various stages of a person’s development.
Hans Deickmann, M.D., is currently president of the International Associations for Analytical Psychology He Lives and practices as a Jungian Analyst in Berlin, West Germany. He is author of many articles and books, among them the standard textbook, Methoden der analytischen Psychologie (Methods of Analytical Psychology.

Twice-Told Tales: The Psychological Use of Fairy Tales

Dieckmann, Hans

While convalescing in the south of France after a terrible motor accident in the Peruvian Andes, Maud Oakes had occasion to accompany her filmmaker cousin to the home of C. G. Jung in Switzerland. There she encountered a block of stone that Jung had designed and carved with signs, symbols, and inscriptions that drew on Greco-Roman religious ideas and the symbolism of astrology and alchemy.
The Stone Speaks is Miss Oakes’s meditation on the personal and transpersonal meaning of the Stone. Her extensive correspondence with Jung regarding her interpretations and her account of the healing and transformation that took place throughout her inner spiritual journey are a valuable document of individuation and health as the product of inner change, achieved by synthesis and integration.
Miss Oakes’s amplification of the symbolism of Jung’s Stone goes a long way toward showing why the influence of the deeply embedded ideas of one’s culture need not be antithetical to the spontaneous production of symbolism for one who can enter into the creative spirit of giving meaningful expression in some art form to the non-rational contents of the unconscious, as Jung did when he brought into visible form what he saw on the face of his block of stone.
Miss Oakes’s exposition of her own thoughts concerning the stone enables us to feel this unification of the different levels of experience. We cease to care, as we enter the circle of its inner meaning, whether the stone speaks of unconscious or of conscious matters. Then perhaps, even without being able to see the stone in Jung’s garden, the reader might hear it “whisper its misty lore of ancient roots and ancestral lives.”
More than the story of a richly and mysteriously carved stone . . . it is the parable of her own inner life, her own search and discovery.” William McGuire Editor, The Bollingen Series The Collected Works of C. G. Jung

Nature of Loving: Patterns of Human Relationship

In this exciting best-seller from Europe, the author, a Jungian analyst, discusses close interpersonal relationships, their dynamics and depth dimensions as well as their surface problems from the viewpoint of archetypal patterns. Problems of bonding, of disillusionment, of projection and introjection are carefully discussed. Focusing primarily on the relationship between the sexes, this work also includes much that is relevant to other forms of human intimacy. Myth is brought alive and illuminates the present with the intense light cast by archetypal understandings.
The Nature of Loving is a joy to read. It avoids the dry style of many similar books, but treats love and relationship as mystery and the numinous. Every page lives and glows. 
 -Robert A. Johnson, Author of We: Understanding the Psychology of Romantic Love and Inner Work
Verena Kast demonstrates how the imagination plays a role in love, how our vision of the beloved's best possibilities are brought forth by our love. Also, that we fantasize ourselves into our own best possibilities from the beloved's eyes, becoming more of ourselves . . . This is a fantastic book. It sheds light on the idealization of our loves and the creative potential released in us by them. 
 -Florence L. Wiedemann, Jungian Analyst
An excellent study of myths as revealing paradigms of relationship...Well worth reading. - 
 -John A. Sanford, Jungian Analyst, Author of The Invisible Partners and The Kingdom Within
Verena Kast is a training analyst and teacher in the C. G. Jung Institute of Zurich, Switzerland

What makes the witch still so compelling to our imaginations? How does the clown reach through our tears to our laughter?
The witch gives us a picture of power in the feminine, of feminine intellect and spirit, primordial in its force, authoritative in its wisdom. The clown gives us a picture of the soft feeling hidden within the masculine, which men must turn to, receive, and embrace.
The Ulanovs explore these figures in a unique way-not as mere literary, anthropological, or historical themes, but in terms of what they mean to people in the actual living of their lives, in facing their problems and potentialities. Women especially need to face the witch in themselves to open to the power she embodies. Men facing the witch in themselves must deal with this fearsome power firsthand, no longer blaming women for it. Men need to face the vulnerable feelings behind the clowning masks, and open to the largeness and range of life they have hidden from in their elaborate clowning defenses. Women facing their own clowning can penetrate behind their masks to find more of their own hidden strength in feeling.
Ann Belford Ulanov is a Jungian analyst in private practice in New York City and on the faculty of the C. G. Jung Institute of Analytical Psychology. She is professor of Psychiatry and Religion at Union Theological Seminary.
Barry Ulanov is Mcintosh Professor of English and Chairman of the Program in the Arts at Barnard College. This book represents the Ulanovs' fourth collaborative work.

How can I get back the life I believed was lost?” Theodor Seifert sees this as the central question in the fairy tale “Snow White.”
For the psychotherapist it is a daily experience to hear patients say they “feel dead,” that “life is passing [them] by,” that they are “spectators but not participants.” Seifert views the fairy tale as a wellspring of wisdom where one can find trustworthy solutions to problems. The central problem he treats in his interpretation of “Snow White” is relationship: “Can my frozen feelings come to life again?” “Can I make a new beginning, or must I live out a living death?”
Theodor Seifert, Ph.D., is an author and Jungian analyst in Stuttgart, West Germany. He is a training analyst in the German Society for Analytical Psychology and the general editor of a series of psychological studies on fairy tales, of which this is the first volume.

Some white South Africans have grown up with the sound of African singing accompanied by drumming in their ears at night. It stirred feelings of fear, of mystery and fascination, but also of avoidance - "Leave it alone, it is not for us," they were told by their elders. And so they knew nothing about the aim, purpose and use of singing, dancing and drumming in the life of the native African - it was brushed aside as mere "beer parties." The white South African knew and under-stood even less about these as methods of healing and bringing comfort to body and mind. Yet for many the fascination remained, as did the mystery.No cultural group can exist meaningfully without its living myths, rituals and ceremonies. Moreover, in southern Africa the coexisting racial groups have a unique opportunity of being mutually enriched and fertilized by exploring, accepting and understanding one another's cultural beliefs and practices.This book aims at improving such understanding, and at building a bridge of empathy between "two worlds" the Western way of experiencing life, which is largely rational, intellectual and technological. and the world of the traditional Xhosa, which is primarily intuitive, non-rational and oriented towards symbols and images.The author writes about her research work among the indigenous Xhosa healers and sets out to show that much of what is commonly called "the witch-doctor's magic" is not magical in the usual sense of the word, but is intuitively based on sound principles of depth psychology widely practiced in the West.Living in Two Worlds is required reading for anyone interested in the social, political and psychological realities of southern Africa.Table of Contents: Concepts of depth psychologyXhosa cosmologyCategories of illnessesGeneral aspects of thwasa treatmentDreamsIntlombe and xhentsaThe river ceremoniesIsiko lentamboGodusa ceremonyThe general effectiveness of healing procedures

This book is a compilation of articles and experts from books by various of Jungian analysts and edited by Nathan Schwartz and Murray Stein. The topic discussed is to review the role of the body in psychoanalysis. Jungian analysis is a "depth psychology," or psychology of the unconscious. According to Jung, the attitudes of the ego are invariably partial and prejudicial, even at the extreme utterly defective. In dreams, the unconscious presents to the ego alternative perspectives that compensate these maladaptive or dysfunctional attitudes. The unconscious challenges the ego seriously to consider these alternative perspectives. This book compiles thorough articles that discuss the body and self through Jungian Analysis. Other authors included are Donald Sandner, Sylvia Perera, Joan Chodorow, Mario Jacoby, Judith Hubback, John Allan, Ronald Schenk, and Louis Stewart.
