Fire in the Stone: The Alchemy of Desire

The Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist Stanton Marlan has gathered essays written by leading Jungian analysts, in which they reflect on a wide range of contemporary issues that are most pressing in psychology and culture. These essays are of great significance for understanding questions related to seduction in childhood, trauma, false memory syndrome, victimization, racism, feminism, conflicts, and reciprocity in gender relationships, as well as the very purpose of analysis. When addressing these topics, special attention is given to the philosophical and clinical aspects, taking into account both classical and postmodern beliefs.
