Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-30 00:00:00 David Dubois I started this review by giving The Spiral Way 4 stars, but as I thought about what to write I struggled to find why it isn't a 5 star book. So 5 stars. Why? Well, as it turns out, for three main reasons. I learned a lot about a few things, and I liked his subject and how he presented it. I have read many Jung and Jungian books, and this is the first that has detailed the process of a person's analysis so as to help us understand not just the healing process, but also the analyst's roles, responsibilities and feelings. It was fascinating to me watching him see what the dream was speaking. I have read all of these aspects before, of course, but not in this way, with concision and a straight to the point look at the legitimate criticisms that are justifiably brought against 'talk' therapy. Is it manipulation, with the therapist a kind of Mesmer? Why it isn't a science, and how to deal with that. (A: have a great broad education and pay attention to the dream as a guide to whether or not the educated guess is moving 'things' in the client in a way that is healing. Yes, the dream will tell when the direction of talk is not helping.) What I learned, more than this though, is some aspects of myself, my Self and my partner. I will move forward with a greater understanding of all three. As a kind of confirmation of the value this book has for me at this time I was given several, perhaps even many, small and big synchronicities as I was reading. Some came about with other books I am reading, such as Bone: Dying into Life by Marion Woodman and RECOVERY 2.0: Move Beyond Addiction and Upgrade Your Life by Tommy Rosen, as well as with personal events. His writing is clear and asks us to think about things without being heavy handed. I read this in less than two weeks at a time when I am more or less actively reading about 4 other books.
