Product Description

Synopsis

LOOKING FOR GOLD vividly relates the experience of a year in Jungian analysis, and a woman's search for wholeness. Swiss author Susan Tiberghien shares with her readers a year of dreams, Jungian analysis and daily life. Dramatising herself as a writer, a mother, and a woman in love, she enters her inner world and beckons her readers to follow. Hers is an inner journey in which darkness and light are joined together. Each chapter marks a psychological progression, building upon each as the book, and its reader, enters cyclical time. LOOKING FOR GOLD reveals that dreams, too, have their seasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Author has her dreams analysed which changes her life., 2 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Looking for Gold: A Year for Jungian Analysis (Paperback)
A search for buried treasure! In this book, the author gives an account of her year in Jungian analysis and how her dreams help her to find out more about her true self ~ the 'gold' of the title. We learn how she adopted a new language, country and religion when she married her french husband Pierre and that her life as a mother, writer and workshop leader has hidden depths. This book ably demonstrates the truth of the idea that our conscious minds are only the tip of the iceberg and that the unconscious mind is the one that often directs our thoughts and actions. Susan's dreams start to follow the seasons of the year and they become a channel between her everyday life and the wisdom and spirituality of her inner self with some surprising results. At times, aspects of the dreams actually manifest in reality and the author is forced to re-examine her actions and ideas, both past and present. The book is written in a clear and lucid style. The author has a talent for explaining complex ideas simply and accurately. Any stranger to Jung and his theories need not fear as everything you need to know is explained succinctly as you go along. I have read this book three times and will continue to read it as it helps me to turn away from my busy working life and look within, hoping to discover treasure of my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Casting light onto a still neglected realm, 27 Mar 2006
By Peter Struba (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Looking for Gold: A Year for Jungian Analysis (Paperback)
This book reminds me of Paul Coelho's fable, 'The Alchemist', in which the shepherd boy Santiago ventured out in search for a hidden treasure, which he believed to find by the pyramids in Egypt. After his demanding adventure, with many a trial and hardship, Santiago learned that the treasure was indeed buried in the churchyard of his hometown back in Andalusia. It is so characteristically human to look for our own treasure -fulfilment and meaning - anywhere but close to us - within us. I understand that this is Susan Tiberghien's message, which she shares by way of her own experience of dream work in 'Looking for Gold'.
It stands in paradoxical contrast to the self-assured image that is asked of us in society and professional life. There we must give our best to portray to others that we trust our insight, but when we are asked to take a look inside our own self, we not only lack trust but also fear that there mightn't be anything there at all. 'Looking for Gold' is encouraging to take notice of our dreams in order to learn more about ourselves. This can be difficult at times, because we are to remain open, not shying away from facing also some of our darker characteristics. Susan is exposing herself courageously to fears and lack of self-trust. This, her own vulnerability, makes you want to jump on the bandwagon with her. She does it in such a way that the reader will not find the wagon to fast nor the running board a step to high to hop on. In other words no knowledge in Jungian psychoanalysis is needed, yet it makes you curious enough to want to know more about it, and most of all, to take valour to venture out in search for your own Gold.
