Opis

The drive within men for individual transformation§and growth is too often hidden. Men search to be ideally masculine, ie capable of intimacy and§vulnerability as well as being vital, decisive,§confident and strong, while also grappling with the§malaise and inner disturbances that frequently occur§during mid-life. This work seeks some answers to the§perennial question of what is a rich and sustaining§inner life? Exploring images from the psyche of five§mid-life males, it examines the contribution to§transformation made through the embodiment of images§from dreams, fantasies, stories and emotions.§Reflecting on these images from the psyche, the§author proposes that perhaps a realization of§self-knowledge, definition and purpose is the key to§the richness of life. Referring to divergent theories§of psychology, art therapy and philosophy of§aesthetics, this multi-method case study contributes§subjective, empirical, theoretical and embodied data§that engages, informs and enables deeper§understanding of the richness of images from the§contemporary mid-life Western-orientated male. As§such it is essential reading for all those concerned§with issues of inner life and well being. The drive within men for individual transformation§and growth is too often hidden.
