It was Baynes's grasp of the meaning of the symbol coupled with his wide scholarship that enable him to explore the case-histories in such remarkable and fruitful depth, thus linking pathological psychology through graphic expression and the dream of the myths of mankind and the universal man. This was truly a scientific task.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn case 1, the series of dreams, fantasies and active imagination, fully illustrated by the patients' spontaneous paintings, suggested to him a kind of mythological imagery. Baynes then demonstrates the emergence and development of a hero myth together with its therapeutic effect upon the patient, as an inner personal experience of death and rebirth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBaynes also applied the methods of synthesis to the understanding of modern art and its reflection of the spirit of the times - a realization of the basic split in the socio-religious structure of European Culture. In case 2, the subject was an artist, and out of his own split he seemed to have created a symbolic bridge that would be a therapeutic bridge for himself and a possible model for curing the evil of the times in which we then were living.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931606274199,"sku":"9781138852303","price":24968.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138852303.webp?v=1771614957","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mythology-of-the-soul-a-research-into-the-unconscious-from-schizophrenic-dreams-and-drawings-9781138852303","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
