Table Of ContentExploring Core Competencies in

Presented in five parts, this comprehensive collection offers an in-d epth
understanding of the core competencies in Jungian psychoanalysis.
It is aligned with the main task of analytical training and practice—t hat
of integrating the unconscious aspects of experience and developing a living
relationship with it—a nd defines a set of key resources and skills for recog-
nizing the emergence of the unconscious and its multiple manifestations,
while offering ways to relate to it that fit individual clients and encourage
growth and healing.
Featuring contributions from renowned Jungian analysts from across the

methods in their practices and how they utilize others that are unique to
their personal experiences, making the book an essential read for Jungian
professionals, trainees, and students.
