Book Description: KARNAC BOOKS, United States, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 230 x 147 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. An interest in painting and poetry, and the particular slant on them that might be called the 'philology of the emotions', has preceded and to some extent shaped, even more than my medical studies, my approach to psychoanalysis, for it has been my means of access to the soul, or rather, to 'soul-making'. In more recent years, following the work of my painter friends, watching the appearance of unexpected images or the alteration of familiar ones, seeing their pictures before they are finished, recognizing in them the uncertainties, the changes of mind, sometimes even the signs of failure, and talking quietly about the teaching of the masters, cherishing their memory with devotion, has been a powerful lesson. This intimacy with the gestation of their paintings and with the dramatic aspects of their work has introduced me, in an almost tangible way, to the action of the 'Imaginal Ego', as Hillman has called it, of that aspect of the ego complex that shares the life of images. In fact the imaginal ego is, like the artist, a mediator of images.It takes in their value and significance, translates them into the awareness of the ego, and allows this to look at the reality of the soul as a living entity, to experience it with the emotional warmth of the imagination.
