Two Cases from Jungs Clinical Practice places two key cases, those of Mischa Epper and Maggy Reichstein, into the context of Jungs work in the 1920s and provides a complete assessment of their place within his writings. Presented in three parts, it first examines Jungs disappointment with contemporary treatments and theories and his break from Freud and the development of his own ideas, and then summarises the history of his more famous patients. In Part 2, de Moura examines Eppers case, which is recognised as an essential part of the development of the concept of active imagination, as well as how it is connected to the work of Jungs collaborator Maria Moltzer. Finally, Part 3 assesses the case of Reichstein, which emerges as a key contribution to Jungs writings on Eastern and Western psychology, transference and countertransference, mandalas, and, in particular, synchronicity.

A unique and insightful study, this book will be an essential work for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian theory, analytical psychology, and the history of psychoanalysis and psychology. These cases will also be of great interest to analytical psychologists and Jungian analysts in practice and in training.
