Carl Jung fully understood by Harry A. Wilmer

Harry is the one who has put the pieces of the puzzle of psychology together with good clarity and understanding. Practical Jung is an apt title. Harry has managed to see through Carl, The Buddha and Lao Tzu. A lot of practical advice here for a otherwise theoretical subject. A Must Read for the serious student of Psychology, Zen and Tao !

Immensely useful and readable for all therapists..

During the late 1970's and early 80's I was privileged to be one of Dr. Wilmer's psychiatric residents at the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio. His third-year seminar on Analytical Psychology was one of the most popular of the training program seminars. This volume includes much of the material that he presented there...useful chapters on such topics as the therapeutic relationship, transference and countertransference, dream interpretation. Dr. Wilmer also "demystifies" Jungian psychology and explains such concepts as archetypes, psychological types, and individuation. I highly recommend this book to psychotherapists (social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists) who may not have had much exposure to the work of CG Jung in their own training programs. The book reflects Dr. Wilmer's wisdom, humor, and his empathy for his patients.
