Marie- Louise von Franz/ Post 3

An important woman for the psychology history:
                 Marie-Louise von Franz 

She was born on January 4th 1915 in Munich, Germany.

 She studied psychology in Zurich and she worked for a long time with the well-known Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. He was her friend and mentor.
She died on February 17th, 1998.

Marie-Louise von Franz founded the “Carl Gustav Jung institute” in Zurich.
And, as a psychotherapist, she worked interpreting dreams. She is said to have interpreted over 65,000 dreams, and about that she always said that the better way to find the sense of life was pay attention to the wise and secret dream voice. In all her career she wrote several volumes on Analytical psychology.
I chose her first because she is a woman, as I, and we all know how difficult is find important women in the history of any discipline.
 

In addition some time ago I read one of her books: " The way of dreams ", co-written with Fraser Boa, one of her students. This matter  is to me in extremely interesting because I´m one of the persons who dreams too much and i remember all my dreams, and as "The Talmud" says: " a dream without deciphering is like a letter that is received and isn´t read"

  1. That sentence from the Talmud is really interesting. I'm also the kind of person who always remembers his dreams. And I usually try to find out what they mean.
