Shared Realities: Participation Mystique and Beyond [The Fisher King Review Volume 3]
"Jung's use of the conceptparticipation mystiquehas always struck me as among his most original ideas and I could vaguely intuit its relevance to many contemporary developments in psychoanalysis, from projective identification to intersubjectivity to the mysteries of transitional space. Now, thanks to the extraordinary essays in this book, one no longer has to "intuit" this relevance. It is spelled out in beautiful detail by writers with expertise in many facets of our field. The breadth of these essays is truly extraordinary. Reading them has enriched both my personal and professional life.I highly recommend this book." Donald Kalsched, Ph.D. author of The Inner World of Trauma: Archetypal Defenses of the Personal Spirit(Routledge, 1996) andTrauma and the Soul: A Psycho-spiritual Approach to Human Development and its Interruption(Routledge, 2013).
