Books by Michael Fordham

This volume is for those qualified both in the established and the new training societies for analysts and therapists, or studying to enter them. Within it theory and practice are closely interwoven, demonstrating how theories and models emerge both from the study of earlier publications and from day to day experience.

Divided into two parts, the first focuses on theoretical concepts with special reference to the structure of the psyche, while the second includes more clinical material. Both exemplify the London Society's interest in childhood and the development of ideas about the use of reductive analysis within the Jungian framework.

The author's pioneering work on the archetypes and the self in childhood has spanned almost 50 years. This title includes descriptions from Fordham's practice, and experience of infant observation studies, and provides basic conceptions on which the Jungian approach to child analysis if based.

A friend of Jung and Winnicott, Fordham was co-editor of the collected works of Jung and the first editor of the Journal of Analytical Psychology. This book draws together his writings on psychoanalysis and analytical psychology.
