The self in psychotic process : its symbolization in schizophrenia

Perry's therapy in the California Bay Area with acute episodes in young psychotic patients brought him national and international renown. The case of the young housewife diagnosed catatonic schizophrenic demonstrates the interpenetration of collective symbols and individual processes as they come to light in 'breakdown' (Part One), and extends knowledge of the psyche by elucidating symbols of the Self (Part Two).

This second edition includes a new preface by Dr. Perry, as well as the original Foreword by C.G. Jung, scholarly apparatus, illustrations, and index.
