`I don't know what's the matter with me - everything's upside down; the whole world seems chaotic.'
Chaos may erupt in our lives in many different ways - through death, divorce, conflict with family, friends or colleagues. it is a frightening and negative experience, destabilizing the individual and provoking feelings of insecurity. Joanne Wieland-Burston, through her work as Jungian analyst, frequently acts a companion, support and guide to those whose lives are in such chaotic turmoil. She describes how therapy helps people to meet chaos, to accept and see it in a different way - as a starting point for a new kind of order in their lives. This `organic' order is better suited to their own personal needs and personality and provides the strong and flexible basis necessary to meet the chaos that belongs to life.
Drawing upon the myths, tales and rites of ancient cultures, upon modern chaos theory, and upon her experiences as an analyst the author shows the way through the chaos th a fuller, happier and more satisfying life.
