War of the Gods in Addiction : C. G. Jung, Alcoholics Anonymous and Archetypal Evil Paperback
by David, LCSW, MSSW Schoen
Paperback
Description
"The War of the Gods in Addiction" is based on the correspondence between Bill W, one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, and Swiss psychiatrist, C.G.
Jung, proposes an original, groundbreaking, psychodynamic view of addiction.
Using insights from Jungian psychology, it demonstrates why the twelve steps of AA really work.
It explores, through theoretical and clinical material, modern and ancient myths, and fairy tales, the crucial process of neutralising the archetypal shadow/archetypal evil, an aspect of all true addictions.
It also explains how dreams may be used in the diagnosis and treatment of addiction.
This book bridges the longstanding gap between the mental health and twelve-step recovering communities in ways that significantly encourage mutual understanding and benefit.
