With ease and grace Jan Wiener brings the reader into Jungian clinical experience. . . -- Joe Cambray IAAP President-Elect

. . . an extraordinary book which provides a lucid overview of the phenomenon of transference and countertransference in the context of Jungian psychology. . . I h ad a real sense of a healing taking place in a field that has suffered strife and division over a long period of time. --<i>Journal of Analytical Psychology</i> --David Tacey Journal of Analytical Psychology (08/01/2010)

This deceptively slim volume is a gem and a generous gift to all those, of whatever persuasion, who seek to practice their craft from a psychodynamic perspective. Beyond that, it is written in such an engaging and lively style, with its terminology clearly defined, as to make it accessible to the lay-person who may be contemplating analysis. . . Throughout the book, which is remarkably transformed from the author's 2006 Fay Lecture Series in Analytical Psychology into a text of five chapters which truly speak to the reader, Wiener darts between opposing views of theory and practice, making her own synthesis but inviting us to find our own. . . I hope that this magnum opus will reach the minds and shelves of everyone practicing psychodynamically, and that it will be translated into many languages. It offers the possibility of rapprochement between our fragmented Jungian community and between us and our psychoanalytic brethren, from whom we have learned much. . . All of us should read and peruse this invaluable book, which could provide reading groups with a text to debate for some years. It is rare that I have encountered a text that is so provocative, challenging and lends such a tilt towards reflective practice, so quietly and imaginatively. Please read it. -;/div>--Christopher Perry, Society of Analytical Psychology The Journal of Analytical Psychology
