Dr. Murray Stein's prolific career has produced a substantial body of writings, lectures, and interviews. His writings, captured in these volumes, span a wide domain of topics including Christianity, individuation, midlife, the practice of analytical psychology, and topics in contemporary society. His deep understanding of analytical psychology is much more than an academic discourse, but rather a deeply personal study of Jung that spans nearly half a century.
The Practice of Jungian Psychoanalysis is the fourth volume in The Collected Writings of Murray Stein. It is an extraordinarily practical volume, indispensable for Jungian analysts, Jungian psychotherapists or students hoping to sharpen their analytical skills. Topics include the goals of analysis, transference, countertransference, dream interpretation, individuation, active imagination, sibling rivalry and envy, the symbolic attitude, the faith of the analyst, and even the problem of sleepiness during sessions. The volume concludes with Dr. Stein reviewing the "4 Pillars of Jungian psychoanalysis." Volume 4 is truly the "nuts and bolts" of Jungian analytical practice.
