Mario Jacoby Libros

Mario Jacoby looks at how infant observations are relevant to psychotherapeutic and Jungian analytical practice.

A fascinating account of the cross-fertilization between Jung's analytical psychology and Kohut's self-psychology by a leading figure in the Jungian world.

Shame is one of our most central feelings and a universal human characteristic. Why do we experience it? For what purpose? How can we cope with excessive feelings of shame? In an elegant exposition informed by many years of helping people to understand feelings of shame, leading Jungian analyst Mario Jacoby provides a timely and comprehensive exploration of the many aspects of shame and shows how it occupies a central place in our emotional experience. Jacoby shows a lack of self-esteem is often at the root of excessive shame. As well as providing practical examples of how therapy can help, Jacoby draws upon a wealth of historical and cultural scholarship to show how important shame is for us in both its individual and social aspects.

This collection of essays provides a handbook of Jungian thought on the destructive apsects of human nature, as well as an introduction to the use of archetypal fairy tale motifs in psychoanalytic practice. The cursed maiden, the bewitched princess, the sadistic husband and the wicked witch are among the figures that embody anger, aggression and other familiar behaviour patterns that block or destroy human relationships. The authors show how fairy tales can help us to recognize and deal with these forms of evil in our lives. The first part summarizes the basic approaches to fairy-tale interpretation taken by Jungian psychology and the second part presents and interprets specific tales from the Grimms' and other European collections.

The book delves into the intricate nature of shame, highlighting its significant role in shaping our emotional lives. Through a thorough examination, it reveals how shame influences personal identity, relationships, and societal interactions, offering insights into its pervasive impact on human behavior and mental health.

Psychologická perspektiva archetypu ráje. Mario Jacoby, přední jungiánský analytik, se zabývá třemi závažnými tématy. V první části knihy zkoumá psychologickou spojitost mezi představami ráje a kvalitou vztahu mezi kojencem a matkou, který má klíčový a rozhodující vliv na vývoj dítěte. Ve druhé části se zabývá analýzou biblického příběhu o ráji a pádu. Jacoby se zamýšlí nad původem a výkladem tohoto příběhu a také nad tím, jak biblický příběh opodstatnil tvrzení o podřadnosti žen. V poslední části Jacoby srovnává různé legendy a mýty slibující příchod ráje s léčebným potenciálem Jungova individuačního procesu.
