Towards an Integrated Analytical Psychology: Return to Freedom and Dignity (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Towards an Integrated Analytical Psychology: Return to Freedom and Dignity (en Inglés)"
Towards an Integrated Analytical Psychology presents a sophisticated overview of some of the salient philosophical, cultural, social, and clinical ingredients that have gone into contemporary visions of human psychology and psychotherapy, and proposes a "unified field" theory of mental representation which puts psychoanalytic, analytic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives in a mutually integrative framework. The model proposed by Matthew Bennett, called Integrative Analytical Psychology, presents two major dimensions of personality development, and is integrative of Jungian and psychoanalytic perspectives, but places the Jungian concept of archetype as its core organizing principle. The six mental respresentations included within this model are: Archetype, Symbol, Object, Complex, Schema and Self. This book strongly accents clinical application, and more broadly considers the applied clinical implications of these mental representations to psychotherapy and clinical practice. This book offers a novel model of understanding personality and will be of direct and immediate use for psychotherapists and students of psychotherapy, especially those from the psychoanalytic and analytic/Jungian tradition. It would also be of interest to social workers, marriage and family therapists and psychiatrists.
