Freud had attributed most of human behavior to the seeking of sexual pleasure. In reasoned progression...

For some scholars, this book marks little but a mental decline in the great philosopher; for C. G. Jung, Zarathustra was an invaluable demonstration of the unconscious...

Bion y Lacan, cada uno a su manera, han realizado aportes muy importantes al psicoanálisis tanto en lo que hace a la teoría científica como a la construcción de una epistemología suficientemente consistente. Ambos pensadores lograron eliminar las contradicciones internas que podrían surgir de la tentación de instituirlo como grado máximo de sabiduría o como una realización total (filosófica, científica o de otro tipo).
De hecho, ambos...

Five long essays that trace Jung's developing interest in alchemy from 1929 onward. An introduction and supplement to his major works on the subject, illustrated with 42 patients' drawings and paintings. "This volume is a great book, and it offers something of a prelude to Jung's monumental Psychology and Alchemy, Mysterium Coniunctionis and Aion.

Aion, originally published in German in 1951, is one of the major works of Jung's later years. The central theme of the volume is the symbolic representation of the psychic totality through the concept of the Self, whose traditional historical equivalent is the figure of Christ. Jung demonstrates his thesis by an investigation of the Allegoria Christi, especially the fish symbol, but also of Gnostic and alchemical symbolism, which he treats as phenomena...

El recorrido de un análisis supone la profunda transformación de un sujeto. Más allá del levantamiento de los síntomas, es el ser mismo el que está en juego. El clima de indeterminación con que nos encontramos al principio se desplazará para dar lugar a lo que podríamos llamar "certeza de vivir". Una vida que se vive y que se aleja del verse vivir.
El obstáculo que siempre encontraremos, del lado de los analistas y también en el de los...
