Healing Fiction

More about the book

Exploring the essence of therapy, Hillman poses the question, "What does the soul want?" and suggests that it seeks "Fictions that heal." The book critically analyzes the contributions of Freud, Jung, and Adler to depth psychology, offering fresh insights into concepts like "case history," "active imagination," and "inferiority feelings." Through this examination, it challenges conventional understandings and highlights the therapeutic power of narrative and imagination in healing the soul.
