Rezensionen

"This bold and fascinating book not only provides the most thorough examination to date of Jung's dreams and visions of the dead but also argues provocatively that at least some of these experiences, rather than just symbolising processes of the psyche, really were encounters with the dead. Beyond just presenting the evidence for this, Stephens demonstrates through her detailed analyses of specific dreams and visions, especially those contained in the Red Book, how Jung's encounters with the dead helped to shape his psychological concepts and therapeutic techniques. Needless to say, Stephens's argument also has far-reaching implications for understanding Jung's epistemological and ontological views of the psyche." - Professor Roderick Main, Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex, UK

"That the unconscious persists in developing spaces for the dead convinced Jung that what we owe them cannot be expiated by recognizing them as intergenerational complexes standing in for archetypes. Stephani Stephens details the visions that led Jung to identify more precisely what his own dead were demanding. How Jung paid this debt to psychological ancestors has never been so thoroughly accounted for. We see Jung going to hell to rescue their narratives and granting their concerns transcendent meaning when he takes up their projects as subjects of his own psychology." - John Beebe, C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco
