First edition. Slim pamphlet, stapled binding. 18.5 × 12.5cm, 20pp.
In Guild Lecture No. 46, pioneering Jungian psychiatrist Dr. Michael Fordham examines the empirical relationship between analytical psychology and religious experience. Fordham explores how spontaneous encounters with the numinous arise from the activation of archetypal structures within the unconscious, distinguishing living psychological experience from static theological dogma. Analyzing how sacred symbols function as transformers of psychic energy, Fordham offers a foundational post-war paper on the complementary roles of depth analysis and pastoral direction in helping individuals integrate transpersonal experiences.
