"At last we have a collection of Jung's writings together in one clearly designed book. A valuable aid to research and writing on this important and creative Jungian subject. An outstanding contribution."- Shelia Powell, Training Analyst in Private Practice"This book is a treasure trove of Jung’s thoughts and ideas around Active Imagination and I found myself delighting in numerous new insights and discoveries. For example, I found the story of the patient who couldn’t grasp what active imagination was, until one day he found himself looking at a travel poster of a railway station and found himself fantasying about the poster, imagining walking into the poster and that he could walk up the hill and see what was on the other side, highly illuminating."-Tasha Tollman, Centre of Applied Jungian Studies
