Isabelle Meier – författare

This comprehensive collection of chapters concentrates on the multifaceted theme of emotions, and deepens our understanding of the role emotions play within the psyche.Leading international psychoanalysts and academics offer broad interdisciplinary dimensions using their own unique perspectives on the topic of emotions. Delineating into five parts, this volume focuses on key themes such as emotions, imagination, and method; the emotional basis of archetypes and complexes; relational trauma; mapping contagion across cultures; the contribution from neuroscience; and, finally, dreams and the transcendent. Clinical cases presented underline the important role unconscious, disassociated emotions play in the formation of symptomatology and how wholeness is facilitated through their acceptance.This collection offers a timely contribution to the interdisciplinary study of emotions placing Jungian psychology firmly within that framework. It will be of great interest to Jungian analysts, trainees, and psychotherapists, as well as interdisciplinary academic researchers interested in methodology, unconscious processes, transference, and dreams.

C.G. Jung stressed that emotions are the driving forces behind social and psychological lives, enabling individuals to connect with themselves and their environment. Divided into five parts, this innovative volume explores the enmeshments between emotions.The material locates emotions within the context of nonverbal, developmental somatic embodiment, eco-political and psychosocial engagement, gender and LGBTQ+. Shadow phenomenology, history, myth and the effects of war are likewise explored in depth. Each theme expertly stimulates a resurgence of Jungian and non-Jungian clinical and academic interest in the role that emotions play in contemporary thought and in the impetus for eco-socioeconomic change.This volume will be of great interest to Jungian analysts and trainees, psychotherapists, and interdisciplinary cultural theorists. It will aid scholars in Jungian academic studies and related fields interested in metaphor, symbols, gender, and LGBTQ+ perspectives.

Isabelle Meier presents a unique examination of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, viewed through the lens of analytical psychology. This relationship can have a huge impact on psychological development, yet it has been largely neglected in studies of the family.Meier explores both clinical and theoretical material throughout the book. In the first part she dissects archetypal images in the intergenerational relationship, particularly as shown in fairy tales, myths and legends. From the ‘wise old woman/man’ to the ‘wicked witch’ or the ‘old wizard’, memories and experiences of these archetypes can be stored in the implicit memory and activated later in life. The second part looks at the processes and functions of implicit memory and examines the concept of the complex as it applies to grandparents, using Stern’s studies on the present moment and intersubjective phenomena. Finally, in part three, Meier presents case studies from her own practice.Grandparents will be essential reading for Jungian analysts and psychotherapists, analytical psychologists and those in training. It will also be of interest to academics and students of Jungian studies, myth and anthropology, and readers looking to explore intergenerational family relationships.
