Ecotherapy:
Healing with Nature in Mind
Edited by Linda Duzzell and Craig Chalquist |
|
In 1995, Sierra Club Books published Ecopsychology: Restoring the Earth, Healing the Mind, the influential anthology that brought together psychologists and ecologists to define a new discipline and a new vision of planetary and personal health. Since then, more and more people have come to psychotherapy with concerns and fears about humankind’s damaged relationship with the web of life we depend on—and therapists are asking: Where can I find out more about the psyche-world connection? How can I do hands-on work in this area? This volume is the eagerly awaited response. |

The
Dream and the Underworld
By James Hillman |
|
In this book James Hillman
develops the first new view of dreams since
Freud and Jung. In a profound extension of
Jung’s ideas of the collective unconscious,
Hillman goes back to classical theories in
terms of poetics of mythology. He relates
our dreaming life to the myths of the Underworld
and to the gods and figures of death, which
leads to the interpretation in relation to
the psychology of “dying.” He concludes
with a long section on specific dream images
and themes as they appear in psychological
praxis. |

The
Nature Writings of C.G. Jung
Edited by Meredith Sabini |
|
Join Jung as he rediscovers
the original unity of Nature, and the spirits
inside matter come to life once again. These
selections, not just from his published writings,
but also from speeches, obscure seminars,
interviews, and letters, show a less familiar
side of the famous Swiss psychiatrist, whose
deep concern over the loss of our emotional
and mythic relationship with Nature is expressed
in moving, poetic terms. |

A
Little Course in Dreams
By Robert Bosnak |
Foreword by Denise Levertov.
This book makes it clear that the imagination
is a powerful force that simultaneously “poisons”
us and provides the remedies to the soul’s
ills. Dreamwork thus opens the way to the
healing and transformation of the soul. |

Thou
Art That
Transforming the Religious Metaphor
By Joesph Campbell |
Edited by Eugene Kennedy,
Ph.D.
This book brings together previously uncollected
essays and lectures into the first work of
Joseph Campbell to focus on the Judeo-Christian
tradition, its symbols and metaphors, and
how our modern culture often misinterprets
them. Campbell holds these common symbols
to the light and reinterprets them in the
context of his knowledge of world mythology. |

A
Blue Fire
By James Hillman |
Selected writings by James
Hillman, introduced and edited by Thomas Moore
The elaborate psychological theory sketched
in this collection of writings glistens with
a strong tincture of Mercury. At the heart
of an essay Hillman will often plant a bomb
that explodes some axiomatic assumption. He
turns upside down many ideas people hold dear
and unreflected. Like an artist painting a
still life, he allows phenomena to show themselves
for our contemplation. |

experience. |

| Psychology
at the Threshold |
Edited by Dennis Patrick
Slattery, Ph.D. and Lionel Corbett, M.D.
This volume of selected papers
from the international conference, "Psychology
at the Threshold" in 2000, represents
a sampling of presentations that seek to imagine
psyche into the future while remembering her
past. These papers extend and deepen the discipline
of depth psychology, which has been informed
by a long lineage of women and men who looked
and listened with a metaphoric, poetic and
imaginal sensibility to the subtleties of
human experience. |
