Exploring Spirituality From A Post-Jungian Perspective Clinical And Personal Reflections | Mental Health

Winner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Clinical Book 2024 FDerived from Ruth Williams’ more than 40-year immersion in spiritual practice as well as her clinical experience as a Jungian analyst this thought-provoking volume explores the nature of spiritual paths and trajectories in practical ways incorporating personal anecdote and ground-breaking academic research and providing a window into how Jungian practitioners work with soul and spirit. Williams explores the nature of being a human using the Yiddish idea of a person being a ‘mensch’ which means being a decent human being having humanity and living ethically with integrity. The idea of ‘grace’ is the thread that runs through the book-the mystery that binds things together and makes life meaningful purposeful potentially joyful and spiritually fulfilling. Williams sees ‘grace’ as being that which underpins and lies behind synchronicity and divinatory practices and as a force by which we can learn to be guided. Rooted in clinical work Exploring Spirituality from a Post-Jungian Perspective is fascinating reading for Jungian analysts therapists and academics as well as for general readers interested in a spiritual journey both personally and for clinical purposes. |Exploring Spirituality from a Post-Jungian Perspective Clinical and Personal Reflections | Mental Health
