Active Imagination in Theory, Practice and Training: The Special Legacy of C. G. Jung
Autor Chiara Tozzien Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 dec 2023
Subliniem, în primul rând, structura riguroasă a acestui volum, care este organizat ca o sinteză între cercetarea academică sprijinită de IAAP și experiența clinică aplicată. Materialul progresează de la fundamentele teoretice ale tehnicii, așa cum au fost ele schițate de Jung, către aplicații contemporane interdisciplinare, oferind o perspectivă rară asupra modului în care Imaginația Activă este predată și utilizată în formarea analitică actuală. Notăm cu interes modul în care Chiara Tozzi reușește să integreze voci din neuroștiințe și fizică pentru a valida procesele psihologice de transformare și individuație.
Această lucrare acoperă aceeași arie tematică precum volumul clasic Jung on Active Imagination de C. G. Jung, dar cu o abordare mult mai ancorată în practica secolului XXI și în nevoile transdisciplinare ale terapeutilor moderni. În timp ce antologia lui Jung se concentrează pe textele sursă, volumul de față extinde metodologia către zone noi, precum 'Imaginative Movement Therapy' sau jocul cu imagini în context clinic. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Jung's Technique of Active Imagination and Desoille's Directed Waking Dream Method de Laner Cassar, care oferă o analiză comparativă istorică, Active Imagination in Theory, Practice and Training se concentrează pe implementarea practică și pe rolul tehnicii ca agent de transformare în procesul de formare a viitorilor analiști.
Cuprinsul indică o traiectorie clară: de la explorarea simbolică a 'Cărții Roșii' până la utilizarea metodei în terapia cu adolescenți. Este o resursă esențială care recalibrează moștenirea lui Jung pentru contextul clinic actual, oferind instrumente metodologice pentru gestionarea funcțiilor psihologice și a confruntării cu Umbra.

Descriere scurtă
Based on extensive research and developed with the support of the IAAP, this fascinating new work presents the precious value of the special legacy of C.G. Jung, which he himself defined as Active Imagination, through a collection of unpublished contributions by some of the brightest Jungian analysts and renowned representatives from the worlds of Art, Culture, Physics and Neurosciences. In addition to presenting the genesis, development and results of Chiara Tozzi's research on Active Imagination, this volume on Theory, Practice and Training will also include the fundamental theoretical aspects of this technique.
The book explores Active Imagination in relation to fundamental contents of Analytical Psychology, such as Individuation, Transformation and comparison with the Shadow, the four psychological functions, C.G. Jung's Red Book, and more. Moreover, the connections between Active Imagination and Sandplay will also be explored, as well as the possibilities of applying the technique with adolescent patients, how it’s considered and proposed in Jungian Training, and some innovative clinical methodologies of Active Imagination.
Spanning two volumes, which are also accessible as stand alone books, this essential collection will be of great interest to Jungian analysts, psychologists, psychoanalysts, or anyone interested in discovering more about the fascinating psychotherapeutic practice of Active Imagination and its interdisciplinary uses.

"This book offers a series of articles covering a wide scope with the aim of restoring Active Imagination to its rightful place as a significant method to access the unconscious and meaning in Jungian analysis. Active Imagination is a method developed by C.G. Jung which allowed him to access and delve into the images of his inner world and of the unconscious in order to more clearly understand their meaning and significance following the painful separation from Freud in 1913. The images and dialogues that emerged were recorded in the Red Book, which was kept private till its publication in 2019. The novelty of this method and the unusual images that emerged initially created concern in those around Jung and led some to question whether he was not falling into a state of psychosis. In fact, Jung was later very clear that it was precisely the use of Active Imagination and of the powerful images and dialogues that emerged as a result that enlightened him and led to a more profound understanding of the unconscious and of its archetypal contents. One of the legacies of the history of these early years is that there remains a lingering skepticism or mistrust with regard to the use and validity of Active Imagination. As a result, other than in training programs in Zurich, Active Imagination is often not given much attention. The editor of this book Chiara Tozzi sets out to address this lacuna and to restore Active Imagination to its rightful place as an invaluable avenue to access a living experience of psyche and of the unconscious in a personal manner. She manages this by bringing to the table, contributions from esteemed Jungian analysts who descrive their use of Active Imagination in clincial practice, which can include dialogues with dream figures, painting, meditation, body movement and dance. In addition, she has included voices from the world of the arts by inviting a director film/critic, a script writer, a professional dancer, a painter, an author, and a musician to reveal, from their unique and personal perspective, the central role that Active Imagination played in giving form to their creativity and of this method as a way of accessing the ephemeral from which meaning can emerge. The result is a wide-ranging collage of personal testimonies that attest to the usefulness of Active Imagination as a way to access the creative and the imaginal, in clinical practice, in ther arts and in our daily lives as an avenue to find meaning. This book will appeal not only to analysts, therpaists and artists but to everyone interested in their inner world and in creative expression. I highly recommend this book and am confident it will nourish many in their search for access to creativity and meaning in their lives."

"The strength of this book lies in its rich tapestry of voices. It is impressive to learn about the applicability of Active Imagination in scientific, artistic, and cultural fields. The editor has masterfully gathered together an exceptional collaboration of authors that offers a multifaceted exploration of Active Imagination, providing readers with a treasure trove of insights and perspectives. Across the two volumes of this book, theory, practice, and research are assembled in a very creative way that includes research, methodology, theory and practice. Readers will find references to personal experiences and practical examples that help us understand the transformative power of Active Imagination as an indispensable attitude and tool in all creative processes and encounters with the unconscious. Real-life applications and personal anecdotes add depth and authenticity to this book. I am sure that Chiara Tozzi's two-volume book on Active Imagination: Active Imagination in Theory, Practice and Training: The Special Legacy of C.G. Jung (vol 1) and Interdisciplinary Understandings of Active Imagination: The Special Legacy of C.G. Jung (vol 2) is a signigicant contribution that keeps the spark alive of one of C.G. Jung's most important legacies."

"Chiara Tozzi presents her research on the essential factor in analytical work that makes Jungians unique. Active Imagination is engagement with the psyche that speaks in images from within and from without. In this process one is guided by the wisdom of the Self that moves the development of the personality towards increased consciousness and wholeness. Tozzi clarifies that it is a process specific to the individual rather than a "technique". It furthers engagement with our fears and the unknown leading to the Transcendent Function that results in profound changes in our personality. Conversely though, it is this hard work and frightening engagement that deter many from its use. This book challenges us with a reminder of C.G. Jung's deeply effective creative path to healing."
