Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper published in the American Journal of Psychotherapy in 1956, John Weir Perry lays out a Jungian view of schizophrenia as an irruption of symbolic archetypal images and processes into the field of consciousness. These symbols represent the essence of the psychotic process and can point to a healing process. More specifically, the symbols of catatonic schizophrenia almost invariably are found to contain a death and rebirth pattern as illustrated in the case of a hospitalized patient with whom he worked over a period of six months.
期刊介绍:
Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche is an international quarterly published by the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, one of the oldest institutions in America dedicated to Jungian studies and analytic training. Founded in 1979 by John Beebe under the title The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, Jung Journal has evolved from a local journal of book and film reviews to one that attracts readers and contributors worldwide--from the Academy, the arts, and from Jungian analyst-scholars. Featuring peer-reviewed scholarly articles, poetry, art, book and film reviews, and obituaries, Jung Journal offers a dialogue between culture--as reflected in art.
