Projection and Re-Collection in Jungian Psychology: Reflections of the Soul (Reality of the Psyche Series)

"Marie Louise von Franz's Projection and Re-Collection is thorough in its wide-ranging exploration as both a map and a guide to the recognition and reclaiming of projection. Von Franz skillfully brings theory to life as she builds on and further develops C.G. Jung's research on projection". -- Julia Jewett Jungian Analyst "The book is stimulating in going to the core of psychotherapeutic work, and invites a response from psychotherapists in general and from Jungian analysts in particular". -- San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal The author attempts to describe the phenomenon of projection and how a projection can be withdrawn and integrated. The book shows the role of projection in the history of religion and in science as well as how projection works on a primitive level. Carl Gustav Jung borrowed the term projection from Sigmund Freud; but as a result of his different view of the unconscious, Jung gave that concept a quite separate, new interpretation.
