Jung's Word Association Experiment : Manual for Training and Practice

This manual is the long-awaited definitive and essential guide to training, research and practice of Jung’s Word Association Experiment, both in clinical practice and beyond the consulting room.  

Carefully redesigned by training analysts, examiners, and researchers at the C. G. Jung Institute Zurich in consultation with a multi-disciplinary group of international authorities, this manual will enable multi-disciplinary practice and discourse while supporting a research/practitioner model. WAE grabs the spotlight as a therapeutic instrument remodelled to deliver measurable patient benefit. Bridging the worlds of empirical science and the depths of the human psyche, this book provides a platform for research into psychotherapeutic effectiveness and efficacy. The incorporation of Jung’s mature reflections, and of contemporary research, teaching and practice provides solid new insights to support established and innovative practice as well as further scientific research. 

This is a valuable new resource written for students and for the continuing professional development of analysts, academics and fellow professionals.
