Heinrich Karl Fierz Livres

C. G. Jung spent the first ten years of his career working in a psychiatric clinic, an experience which had a powerful influence on his lifelong endeavors. Now the psychiatric-analytic observations of a highly respected Jungian, the Swiss Heinrich Fierz, who devoted his life to psychiatry, are available in English at last. „Jungian Psychiatry“ is rich with the insights of a rare therapist and teacher in the world of the psychiatric clinic. From the contents: - The Clinical Implications of Extraversion and Introversion - Fear, Truth and Confidence: Living with Cancer - The Use of Sculpture in the Treatment of Depression - Meaning in Madness. The book contains color illustrations and detailed indexes. Heinrich Karl Fierz worked as a psychiatrist at the famed Binswanger Clinic, Sanatorium Bellevue, for many years before co-founding the Jungian „Klinik am Zürichberg“ in 1964, where he was medical director until his recent death. A son of one of the first Jungian analysts, Linda Fierz-David, he also became a training analyst and lecturer at the Jung Institute in Zürich. His sensitive and innovative contributions to the realm of psychiatry are well-known in the German-speaking world; „Jungian Psychiatry“ is the first major publication of his work in English.

In diesem Band kommt ein Arzt und Klinikleiter zu Wort, der seinen Patienten auf originelle und undogmatische Art und Weise begegnet. In der Erkrankung oder Krise sieht er immer auch eine wertvolle Chance zur Wandlung. Fallbeispiele bieten einen lebendigen Einblick in die psychiatrische Arbeit mit dem Unbewußten. Das Werk von H. K. Fierz wurde auch ins Englische und Japanische übersetzt.
