The Collected Writings of Murray Stein

Dr. Murray Stein’s prolific career has produced a substantial body of writings, lectures, and interviews. His writings, captured in these volumes, span a wide domain of topics including Christianity, individuation, midlife, the practice of analytical psychology, and topics in contemporary society. His deep understanding of analytical psychology is much more than an academic discourse, but rather a deeply personal study of Jung that spans nearly half a century.The Practice of Jungian Psychoanalysis is the fourth volume in The Collected Writings of Murray Stein. It is an extraordinarily practical volume, indispensable for Jungian analysts, Jungian psychotherapists or students hoping to sharpen their analytical skills. Topics include the goals of analysis, transference, countertransference, dream interpretation, individuation, active imagination, sibling rivalry and envy, the symbolic attitude, the faith of the analyst, and even the problem of sleepiness during sessions. The volume concludes with Dr. Stein reviewing the '4 Pillars of Jungian psychoanalysis.' Volume 4 is truly the 'nuts and bolts' of Jungian analytical practice.Table of ContentsThe Aims and Goal of Jungian Analysis Power, Shamanism, and Maieutics as Countertransference Attitudes Amor Fati: Analysis and the Search for Personal Destiny Dreams and the Reconstruction of History in Analysis The Muddle in Analysis The Problem of Envy and Sibling Rivalry On the State of Soul in the Narcissistic Personality In the Field of Sleep Spiritual and Religious Aspects of Modern Analysis Depth Healing: An Interview with Robert Henderson Symbols and the Transformation of the Psyche The Faith of the Analyst Cultural Trauma, Violence, and Treatment The Four Modalities of Temporality and the Problem of Shame The Symbolic Attitude: A Core Competency for Jungian Psychoanalysts On Training Jungian Psychoanalysts Today Four Pillars Of Jungian PsychoanalysisA Brief Introduction Pillar One: The Individuation Process Pillar Two: The Analytic Relationship Pillar Three: Dreams as a Way to Wholeness Pillar Four: Active Imagination as Agent of Transformation References
