C.G. Jung in his own words on the Relation of Analytical Psychology to Poetry

The practice of Analytical Psychology is both an art and a craft.  When Jung wrote about the creative process involved in writing poetry he gave a very detailed study of how we can "see" into our own nature as creators. His discussion in this chapter helps us understand the value of claiming our own individual creativity and expression in the world.  We can deepen our creativity through a better understanding of our psychological selves. Jung brings psychology and poetry together in helping us with this deepening.
