Our greatest certainty and greatest
mystery is our mortality. In this book, Steven M. Rosen explores the profound
mystery of alchemical death and rebirth from psychological, philosophical, and
alchemical perspectives. To model, embody, and contain the paradoxical
transformations involved in the death-rebirth enigma, Rosen employs a
paradoxical form of mathematics: the topology of the Moebius strip and Klein
bottle. As we follow this alchemical odyssey of death and rebirth, the author
makes himself transparent through his dreams and brings himself tangibly into
his text so as to enact a dialectic of ego and Self.
“In tackling the subject of death and
rebirth, Steven Rosen writes about our modern state of mind, how we got like
this, and where we need to go from here. He does all this with a
psychotherapeutic insight that begins with his own subjectivity–and his own
dreams–and ends with the subjectivity of the modern world. Using myths, dreams,
and alchemical symbolism, as well as psychological research and Jungian
insights, Rosen speaks to us all from the self and the Self. A book to be read
immediately, and then read again.”
-Christopher Hauke, Jungian analyst and
author of Jung and the Postmodern: The Interpretation of Realities
“How does a mental-spiritual ego, the
creation of our post-Renaissance world, embrace the body as a living partner?
In Dreams, Death, Rebirth, Steven M. Rosen offers a topological analysis that
meets the challenge of this daunting endeavor. It is a remarkable
accomplishment, and vital for the advancement of psychotherapy.”
-Nathan Schwartz-Salant, Jungian
analyst and author of The Black Nightgown: The Fusional Complex and the Unlived
Life
