John Van Eenwyk’s in-depth knowledge of trauma, gleaned from forty years of analytic experience, shines through in this book, as does his compassion for the formidable challenges we all face on our journey of individuation. Clinical Chaos is a significant sequel to the author’s previous book in this series, Archetypes and Strange Attractors: The Chaotic World of Symbols. With multiple case examples showing how theory may appear or be applied in the consulting room, Clinical Chaos is not only the first book on the subject, but quite simply the most important contribution to the logistics of trauma ever written from a Jungian perspective. --- from the publisher About the Author: John R.
