| Abstract: | Suggests, from the viewpoint of an analytical psychologist, the existence of similarities between Jung's concept of the creative imagination, Indian Yoga, and the Christian symbolism of the unconscious. Meditation techniques and creative imagination techniques are compatible and complementary. Illustrating this theme with cases from his practice, the author compares the role of the active imagination in healthy Ss (in whom it operates in harmonious balance with all the other psychic functions) and in neurotic and psychotic patients, in whom it triggers strong psychic conflicts.
