Book Review – Transforming Depression: a Jungian Approach Using Creative Arts by D H Rosen

This review describes Rosen’s text as a psychoanalytic interpretation of suicide, including a cohesive treatment program. Rosen’s approach is described as assisting the suicidal person to selectively destroy the immature, self-destructive part of the personality, so that which is well may strengthen & survive. The reviewer criticizes the lack of emphasis on familial & community factors, but enjoys the book overall. (SC)
