Book Synopsis The Intersection of Poetry and Jungian Analysis Through Metaphor by : Regina Colonia-Willner
Download or read book The Intersection of Poetry and Jungian Analysis Through Metaphor written by Regina Colonia-Willner and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intersection of Poetry and Jungian Analysis Through Metaphor: In Creation You Are Created explores the relationship between Jungian psychoanalytical intervention and poetry, focusing on the emergence of metaphor, which occurs in both processes, as it happens in neuroscience and fairy tales.Metaphor is a mode of communication that forms a bridge between different experience domains through associative linkages: it refers to a subject by mentioning another for rhetorical effect. Indeed, the prominence of metaphor in Jungian therapy is a characteristic that differentiates it from other forms of treatment. That’s because metaphor—as we will see in this book—is deeply rooted in the body in two ways: It is used to organize bodily sensations cognitively and is located on the border between mind and brain. C. G. Jung uses a metaphor when he observes, in Memories, Dreams, Reflections: “As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”

So when Charlie discovers the sprawled corpse of Saratoga Springs' biggest nuisance on his sidewalk, the ex-P.I. is torn. Should he risk asking questions of his own, knowing he could easily be prosecuted for doing P.I. work without a license? Or should he avoid the trouble and spend his twilight years in peace?"--
