Traumatic Loss and Recovery in Jungian Studies and Cinema (eBook, PDF)

Transdisciplinary Approaches in Grief Theory

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores traumatic loss, grief, and recovery through the thoughtful combination of Abraham & Torok's 'crypt' theory, Jungian thought, and film theory to guide readers through the darkest places of the human psyche.

Focusing on both the destructive and reconstructive choices people can make, the book explores prolonged grief disorder, complicated mourning, post-traumatic stress disorder, embitterment, disenfranchised grief, trauma-related rumination as well as mental, emotional and physical pain. Presented with real life examples and fictional ones, the book connects the psychoanalytic concepts of intrapsychic tomb and theoretra with Jungian concepts such as teleological model of the psyche, dreams, alchemical operations, shadow, archetypes, enantiodromia, symbols, and compensation on the canvas of modern grief theory.



Traumatic Loss and Recovery in Jungian Studies and Cinema is important reading for psychoanalysts, Jungian analysts, and psychotherapists with an interest in popular culture, as well as cinema students, scholars, and general readers interested in psychology, counselling, mental health and media studies.
