What prevents us from building harmonious relationships in a couple? Jungian analyst shares his personal and scientific experience.
American Linda Leonard became a Jungian analyst because of her personality problems. Classes in science and creativity served the main goal – to get rid of the internal barriers that prevented her from finding not just a partner, but the “second half”. In her book, she summarized the experience of her search, connecting it with the experience of a practicing analyst. Mythological characters and archetypal images, literary and film characters, symbolic images of dreams – all this traditional arsenal of the Jungian analyst helps Linda Leonard to consider “under a magnifying glass” those internal obstacles that prevent building genuine relationships. Still, the main thing that makes this book compelling and charming is Linde Leonard’s frank and intelligent analysis of her own internal conflicts. Which, one way or another, she manages to resolve.
