Overview

Phenomenology offers the Jungian psychologist a philosophical underpinning to clinical practice and theorizing which emphasizes the claims and integrity of experience. What analytical psychology offers the phenomenologist is psychological insight into the complexity and imaginal structure of experience itself. In this book contributors from the disciplines of medicine, psychology and philosophy look at the central issues of commonality and difference. The major theme of the book is how existential phenomenology and analytical psychology have been involved in the same fundamental cultural and therapeutic project - both legitimize the subtlety, complexity and depth of experience in an age when the meaning of experience has been abandoned to the dictates of pharmaceutical technology, economics and medial psychiatry.
