Raya A. Jones and Leslie Gardner present twelve cutting-edge essays that bridge Jungian and narrative approaches to self-understanding and offer critical appraisal of both. This innovative volume interprets the topic in unique and unprecedented ways.
"By bringing together Jungian psychology and postmodern narratology on the fertile crossover of "individuation," editors Raya A. Jones and Leslie Gardner enrich both fields by showing how they challenge, corroborate, expand and deepen each other. Narratives of Individuation is an essential book for Jungians building stories in/as clinical treatment and scholars in the Social Sciences and the Humanities exploring narrative as constituent of being. Stories define, structure, and frustrate who we are and where we are going. Jones and Gardner have skilfully woven a multifaceted texture of themes of the examined life, Jung in the postmodern and refiguring individuation. This marvellous book enables us to examine who is speaking in the secret corners of the becoming soul." - Susan Rowland, PhD., is Core Faculty at Pacifica Graduate Institute, California, USA.
