Praise for Tarot and Psychology . . .
“This is a book that challenges the thinking of both practicing
clinical psychologist and practicing Tarot readers...this work is based
on solid clinical training and the author’s own extensive research and
practical clinical experience. The author has developed a Spectrum of Possibility
for each card in the Tarot deck. These spectra are not the cut and dried
“card meanings”...but rich shades of psychological meaning...the author
explains the Jungian Theory of Synchronicity, that is, the notion of acausality.
This is the most lucid and uncomplicated exposition of this important and
oft misunderstood subject. This is a “must read” for clinicians who are
looking for new approaches to old problems and for Tarotists looking for
a work with more depth and meaning than yet another description of the
archetypal images of the Major Arcana.”—Linda Gail
Walters, Student of Tarot, San Diego, CA
“This book is a wonderful support document for the power
of Tarot as a counseling tool. Mr. Rosengarten writes in a very clear and
casual style which makes complex concepts understand-able to the lay person.
This book is a valuable companion to the core books.... Somewhat technical
at times, the author’s “every-day” references and context clarify within
the body of the work, making frequent trips to a dictionary unnecessary.
There were a few sections that were theoretically over my head, but their
content was not necessary to follow these document to it’s logical
conclusion. Bravo!”
—Errol McLendon, Taroist, Chicago,
IL
“Rosengarten’s remarkable work spans the abyss that yawns
between psychology and mysticism, and does so without diminishment to art
or science.”—Lon Milo DuQuette, Author of Tarot
of Ceremonial Magick
“Were I still in practice, I would test for myself the
integration of Tarot (and other mantic methods) into analysis, something
this book has given me courage to attempt.”—James
A. Hall, MD, Author of Jungian Dream Interpretation |
