Reviews and Endorsements
Barbara Hannah explores Jung's method of 'active imagination', often considered the most powerful tool in analytical psychology for achieving direct contact with the unconscious and attaining greater inner awareness.
Using historical and contemporary case studies, Hannah traces the human journey towers personal wholeness. This approach to confronting the unconscious is a healing process that applies to both men and women and deals with the injured feminine as well as many powerful archetypal forces.
'Encounters with the Soul' is the first and only book I know of which can promote the understanding of 'active imagination' by illustrating through various examples, the steps, pitfalls and successes of this method of encountering the unconscious'
