This review is from: Understandable Jung: The Personal Side of Jungian Psychology (Paperback)

This book is another excellent volume by Dr. Wilmer, published about 7 years after "Practical Jung." In this book, Dr. Wilmer amplifies some of the earlier material and there is more material on dreams and their meaning as well as psychotherapy from the perspective of Analytical Psychology. I was privileged to work as a medical student and later as a psychiatry resident with Dr. Wilmer so it is somewhat difficult to be objective. But Harry Wilmer probably had more impact on me than any professor or supervisor from my training and I will always be deeply appreciative of his humor, his wisdom, and his empathy. He later founded the Institute for the Humanities in Salado, Texas and worked there for many years before his recent death.Carl Jung himself said that he "never wanted to be considered a Jungian" and Harry took Jung's concepts and applied them in his work with schizophrenic patients, PTSD patients from Vietnam, patients with AIDS, and his earlier work in San Francisco with young adults who had "dropped out." He was a great mentor and author.
