audiobook Mandolin For Dummies by Don Julin in Arts-Photography

Description

Analyst and author Ann Belford Ulanov draws on her years of clinical work and reflection to make the point that madness and creativity share a kinship; an insight that shakes both analysand and analyst to the core; reminding us as it does that the suffering places of the human psyche are inextricablymdash;and; often inexplicablymdash;related to the fountains of creativity; service; and even genius. She poses disturbing questions: How do we depend on order; when chaos is a necessary part of existence? What are we to make of evilmdash;both that surrounding us and that within us? Is there a myth of meaning that can contain all the differences that threaten to shatter us?Ulanovrsquo;s insights unfold in conversation with themes in Jungrsquo;s Red Book which; according to Jung; present the most important experiences of his life; themes he explicated in his subsequent theories. In words and paintings Jung displays his psychic encounters from1913ndash;1928; describing them as inner images that ldquo;burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me.rdquo;Responding to some of Jungrsquo;s more fantastic encounters as he illustrated them; Ulanov suggests that our problems and compulsions may show us the path our creativity should take. With Jung she asserts that the multiplicities within and around us are; paradoxically; pieces of a greater whole that can provide healing and unity as; in her words; ldquo;every part of us and of our world gets a seat at the table.rdquo; Taken from Ulanovrsquo;s addresses at the 2012 Fay Lectures in Analytical Psychology; Madness and Creativity stands as a carefully crafted presentation; with many clinical examples of human courage and fulfillment.
