In The Wisdom of Oz, psychotherapist Gita Dorothy Morena expands upon the metaphors of America's most beloved fairy tale, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Morena, great-granddaughter of L/ Frank Baum, offers unique insight into Oz as she describes the story's influence on her life and her work as a Jungian Sandplay therapist. In this publication, timed to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Morena celebrates her great-grandfather's literary gift to the world and explores passageways to psychological healing through the archetypes of Oz. --- from the publisher Reviews/Endorsements: "Because The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is grounded in a timeless wisdom, it speaks to its readers and viewers on both a universal and personal level. Dr. Morena shows the story to be what Baum could hardly have imagined it becoming: a guidebook to our inner journey through the enchanted land of Oz and home again." -John Algeo, President of Theosophical Society in America About the Author: Gita Dorothy Morena, Ph.D., is a licensed psychotherapist, author, and lecturer. She has a private practice in San Diego, California, where she offers meditation courses, residential retreats, and Sandplay seminars.
