Description
This text examines how, early in her career, Margaret Arden became fascinated by the problem of the gap between theory and practice. As a result she believed the only thing she could rely upon when reflecting on her work was her sense of the truth of what was going on in the consulting room. This text considers Margaret Arden's belief that there is such a thing as psychic truth, a concept which can be found in all religions as well as psychoanalysis.

Description
This text examines how, early in her career, Margaret Arden became fascinated by the problem of the gap between theory and practice. As a result she believed the only thing she could rely upon when reflecting on her work was her sense of the truth of what was going on in the consulting room. This text considers Margaret Arden's belief that there is such a thing as psychic truth, a concept which can be found in all religions as well as psychoanalysis. This book takes the reader on an intellectual journey. Each chapter represents a stage in the exploration of ideas which have influenced the author's view of psychoanalysis. The book is remarkable for the coherence of her thinking and the clarity of presentation of ideas which connect Jung with Freud, science with religion and the emerging science of consciousness with Goethe's scientific views. Anyone who has felt the need to explore the unrealised possibility of psychoanalytic theory will find this book rewarding.
