What??? A Clinical Psychologist Espousing Tarot Cards? Dr. Arthur Rosengarten, in Tarot and Psychology: Spectrums of Possibility, does just that. He explains Tarot to those who may want to learn to use it properly for the greatest good–individuals who desire greater spirituality in their lives, including the benefits of psychological insight and depth, without the baggage of affiliation that invariably accompanies any single set of beliefs. Tarot, they will soon find, operates on many levels of profound meaning from a purely non-affiliated platform in the truest sense. Tarot makes accessible to awareness a full spectrum of psychological and spiritual possibility with little preference for its user’s qualifications or beliefs. Rather magically, one might say, Tarot captures the heartbeat of experience. This fact alone should make the deck of human possibility immediately relevant to helping professionals who deal with the heartbeats of experience daily.

The use of Tarot as an oracle for creating awareness and gaining insight into particular symptoms, problems or questions–i.e. Tarot divination–is often mentioned as an afterthought, alongside other meditational exercises and alternative spread configurations. Yet today, the vast majority of individuals who have discovered the wonders and mysteries of Tarot have done so through experiences of divination. Card reading, without a doubt, is Tarot’s most beguiling and potentially beneficial enterprise. Why dance around the magic?

For Tarot to continue to evolve into the 21st century (and beyond) it must have a stronger application emphasis, that is, it must be relevant, accessible, and meaningful to the changing contours of people’s lives. It must resonate with all who seek greater meaning, creativity, and awareness, not simply with small segments of the waning New Age.

Tarot and Psychology provides an innovative new approach for understanding the psychological and spiritual possibilities of human experience.

Profoundly Thought-Provoking and Captivating

The profundity of this book is truly remarkable. Opening its pages for the first time, I was unsure of what to anticipate, but it has exceeded my expectations in every way. I've enthusiastically recommended it to friends, and the ripple effect has been impressive—my friends, in turn, have recommended it to their circles. Personally, I find the executed case studies particularly fascinating. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this enriching read.

Door opening book…
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2022
Verified Purchase
I love that the author shows us how to use and think of tarot therapeutically. The magic of tarot is what we can see and relate back to ourselves or the querent. Yes, I do use it as a divination tool, but most of the reading can and should be association to the card and digging for the truths. Perhaps it exposes what our higher self already knows, and by studying the cards we open a door to that higher self or our journey as a soul here at this time. The book is dense. You do not have to read every part of it to gain a new outlook. It is easy to go back to in varying sections and pull out what you need at that time. Highly recommended. Don’t buy if you are looking for spreads and card definitions-it’s much more than that.

As a counselor, I was interested in how tarot could be used in the field of psychology. The book is too technical and research based for me.

Excellent Resource! (a bit on the technical side)
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent resource if you're considering the addition of Tarot in your mental health practices. However, it is a bit technical. This book was written for psychology and counseling professionals. Professional Tarot readers and consultants can also benefit from reading this book. If you do not have a counseling background, I suggest you read this book thoroughly prior to initiating any of its' concepts. Also, you might start with Transformative Tarot Counseling before reading this book.

Psychology and Tarot – the Perfect Combined Healing Modality
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020
Verified Purchase
In my opinion this is an idea way past its due date. The Tarot works amazingly well to identify client issues even more thoroughly than a therapist is capable of doing through traditional psycho-therapeutic methods. The fact is, as observant as a therapist might be, clients can be adepts when it comes to keeping certain thoughts and behaviors secreted, often to the point that the client doesn’t even recognize the areas in which s/he requires someone who knows what they’re seeing and knows how to tease those issues out and up to the surface for healing.

Consequently, this makes it extremely challenging to offer a beneficial treatment program. But enter the Tarot into psycho-therapeutic treatment and there’s a whole ‘nother vista of healing possibilities.

The idea of utilizing Tarot with psychological therapeutic treatment modalities has intrigued me ever since I began my astrological counseling practice several decades ago. However, it wasn’t until years later that I finally added several other treatment modalities such as the Tarot, numerology, etc., and then finally returned to university in order to obtain my degree in counseling psychology so that my clientele might be better facilitated. While I never did (unfortunately) end up obtaining my counseling psychology degree, I’ve continued to be raptly interested in and study various aspects of psychology ever since.

Unfortunately there wasn’t as much ‘teaching’ in this book as I would have liked, and some of the chapters seemed more tangentially expository and confusing, even for someone who is familiar with psychology. Still, Rosengarten has some good ideas here, and even at 4 stars it’s well worth the read.

An incredible position, if only for the meticulously constructed condensed tables steaming from a professional psychological background!

The case studies are abundant, clearly and calmly transmitted, which makes it pleasurable to go through. They themselves are academic material of worth.

The author is obviously no initiate immersed in any serious occult knowledge, but seems appropriate well read 🍒 and, through his methodology, brings clarity and class to the table.

There are some sections where he clearly addresses academia and baby sits them while they are being exposed to the tarot. But that's never going to diminish what he's done constructing those base-tables.

An in-depth review is not needed here, just to say as a TAROT reader of 50 years I found the book very interesting. My own journey started with the tarot and lead to study and training as a counselor and back to the tarot. Recent work done by Vincent Pitisci another life long tarot fan and pro reader, artist and author, links the tarot method to conceptual blending and mind maps his books add more to the tarot story.
