J.Marvin Spiegelman Livres

Exploring the journey of Reichian therapy, the author shares personal experiences from the first four years of an eight-year process with Dr. Francis Israel Regardie. The narrative delves into the intricacies of therapy sessions, alongside reflections and imaginative exercises that emerged during challenging times in the author's life. The motivation behind sharing these intimate details raises questions about vulnerability and the desire for healing, revealing a deep struggle to connect with the body and confront underlying emotional turmoil.

The book offers a diverse exploration of the significance of the third millennium from the perspectives of thirteen distinguished Jungians, representing a wide range of religious traditions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. Each contributor shares unique insights on the themes of hope, fear, and apocalyptic longing tied to this pivotal moment in history. This collective work presents an unprecedented dialogue on the psychological and spiritual implications of the millennium, reflecting the rich tapestry of human belief and experience.

Here is the whole Jungian corpus in a nutshell, spelled out brilliantly in the form of original stories, fables, myths and parables. Each is beautifully written, intriguing, commanding one's full attention. Spiegelman is highly imaginative, a truly creative psychologist. The book deals symbolically with the process of individuation, the growth to be Oneself, the movement Godward. As such, it is the story of the great Work, the noblest story and Work of them all, told with simplicity and deep sincerity.

Here is a unique study of Sufism, the ultimate mystical doctrine at the very heart of Islam, analyzed within a Jungian context. With contributions by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, the Head of the Sufi Order in the West, and other internationally famous therapists and scholars.

The Nymphomaniac is written in the style of Psycho-Mythology, a creative kind of union between fiction and psychological fact. In this literature an individuals fantasy transcends the personal level, reaching the collective unconscious. Spiegelman had used Jungs method of inner dialogue and Active Imagination for fourteen years, when one day there was a quantum jump for him, and as he put it: The work was no longer merely for my own enlightenment and development, but suddenly took on the possibility of social usefulness.
