Introduction to Jungian Psychotherapy. Therapeutic Relationships

The unique relationship between the patient and the therapist is the main healing factor in psychotherapy. Following the innovative views of C.G. Jung on the complexity of the interaction between the conscious and the unconscious in the process of therapy, this book explains the Jungian approach to therapeutic relationships and
the healing process. “Introduction to Jungian Psychotherapy: Therapeutic Relationships” demonstrates how the Jungian perspective can help to cope with the complex paradoxes of psychotherapy. David Sedgwick describes the modern Jungian approach to psychotherapy, primarily analyzing the patient-therapist relationship itself. He examines and critiques key aspects of Jungian and other theoretical viewpoints, synthesizing approaches and ideas from the entire therapeutic spectrum.
David Sedgwick is a Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist from Charlottesville, Virginia. He is the author of the books “The Wounded Healer: Countertransference in the Practice of Jungian Analysis” (1994) and “Jung and Searles: A Comparative Study” (1993), as well as numerous articles and book reviews.
