VG. ¶ Translation by Carlos Byington ; revision by Siobhan Drummond. "Jungian symbolic education aims to rescue pleasure and emotion in teaching and learning and recast them as existential activities that are no longer merely rational and forgettable. It proposes the use of expressive techniques in the classroom to favour spontaneity and enhance the physical,emotional, imaginative and creative participation of teacher and student. The result is a method of teaching that is lively and useful, rooted in the pedagogic transference, where consciousness is formed andsocial participation is refined. The symbolic method trains teachers to avoid dissociating the subjective and the objective dimensions and provides students with the opportunity to learn about the world with their whole being, by uniting reason, emotion and creativity and reveal the pleasure of knowledge" - publisher's description.
