"This book offers a welcome interdisciplinary approach to Jungian psychology, with a focus on the embodied nature of the psyche. An important theme is that of the mind as emergent, in terms of neurobiology, personal relationships and the wider cultural context, creating a stimulating dialogue between these different perspectives." - Dr Jean Knox, Training Analyst of the Society of Analytical Psychology, Consultant Editor of the Journal of Analytical Psychology and Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Kent, UK"A set of bold discourses, validating the body as central to the intersubjective field that is contemporary therapy." - Dr Dale Mathers, professional member of the Association of Jungian Analysts
