Symbolic Impetus: How Creative Fantasy Motivates Development

by Charles Stewart

Overview

Written by a Jungian child psychiatrist, this book offers an original perspective on the role of the symbolic process in the maturation of personality. It shows that symbols originating in primal images and archetypal affects not only motivate and guide the natural process of ego development, but also contribute to psychological healing.

Editorial Reviews

When child psychiatrist Stewart selected the natural process of psychological development as his model for psychotherapy, he felt a need to construct an open-ended, integrated theory of development as a prism through which to focus the major trends in human psychological growth. He here shares with other practitioners his theory building and clinical applications. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
