Understanding and treating depression, with its usually complex disturbance pattern, plays a central role in C.G. Jung=s analytical psychology. This book is intended as a guide to the theory and practice of Jungian psychotherapy and psychoanalysis for depressive disorders. Special emphasis is given to flexibility and to the concepts of transference and countertransference in treatment, in order to do justice to the uniqueness of the encounter with depressed people. The explanations are illustrated with numerous case examples from adult psychotherapy.
