Susceptible to the Sacred: The Psychological Experience of Ritual (Paperback)
In Susceptible to the Sacred, Bani Shorter, a well-known Jungian analyst, examines the psychological experience of ritual in contemporary life and how this promotes awareness of the individual's natural potential. Basing her book on live material, she investigates, with great sensitivity, how people perceive the sacred and use ritual in their search for purpose, motivation and transformation.
Bani Shorter is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Edinburgh. She is also the author of An Image Darkly Forming: Women and Initiation (Routledge, 1987) and co-author with Andrew Samuels and Fred Plaut of A Critical Dictionary of Jungian Analysis (Routledge, 1986).
