Hypnosis and Active Imagination

By Alejo Nobili

In Hypnosis and Active Imagination, Alejo Nobili offers a complete historical review of what we know today as hypnosis and introduces an innovative theoretical conception that relates this technique to the central concepts of analytical psychology developed by Carl G. Jung.

The author takes the reader through the history of the mysterious technique of hypnosis, revealing information that is usually unknown not only to the general public but also to most academic institutions-both regarding its origins, its development over the centuries, the scientific studies that validate its effectiveness, and its current applications in medical and therapeutic fields.

Following the theoretical legacy of authors such as Mircea Eliade, Henry Corbin, and Carl G. Jung, this book presents an enlightening vision of the technique, showing that understanding the psychic nature of the creative mental states characteristic of hypnosis, meditation, mystical visions, and dreams-through an in-depth review of the history and application of hypnosis-allows us to re-signify the fundamental importance of imagination in the development of self-knowledge, which Jung called the process of individuation.
