Abstract
ABSTRACT Katherine Olivetti reflects on the chapter she wrote, “Letting the Light Get In,” for the Spiritual Psyche in Psychotherapy, recalling the mystical experience of singing and being with her mother as she passed. Exploring the connection between masochism and her childhood fascination with saints and martyrs, she locates the first crack in the foundation of her spiritual life in a traumatic experience with her mother when she was in first grade. She notes the importance of delving into early trauma for healing emotional, psychological, and spiritual wounds.
期刊介绍:
Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche is an international quarterly published by the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, one of the oldest institutions in America dedicated to Jungian studies and analytic training. Founded in 1979 by John Beebe under the title The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, Jung Journal has evolved from a local journal of book and film reviews to one that attracts readers and contributors worldwide--from the Academy, the arts, and from Jungian analyst-scholars. Featuring peer-reviewed scholarly articles, poetry, art, book and film reviews, and obituaries, Jung Journal offers a dialogue between culture--as reflected in art.
