The Knight

The Knight, A Jungian Healing Journey is written in the style of Psycho-Mythology, a creative kind of union between fiction and psychological fact. Psycho-Mythology is a literature in which an individual’s fantasy transcends the personal level, reaching the collective unconscious. Spiegelman had used Jung’s method of inner dialogue and Active Imagination for fourteen years, when one day there was a quantum jump for him, and as he put it: “The work was no longer merely for my own enlightenment and development, but suddenly took on the possibility of social usefulness.”
