Having read the book Shared Realities: Participation Mystique and Beyond, I enjoyed hearing all about it on Shrink Rap Radio. Mark and his colleagues explained the subject very well. I understood in a way I hadn’t from merely reading Jung, who espoused Levy-bruhl’s term and the concept wholeheartedly, yet had never fleshed it out the way it was done in this book.
My limited exposure to other methods of psychology didn’t prepare me for this book, so I admit I had to study up on Melanie Klein, projective identification, transference (which prompted me to finally get Jung, vol. 16 with the Psychology of the Transference lecture) and other terms, which have also expanded my interest into several areas of psychology. The concept of reverie is fascinating, something I’m looking deeply into. I liked Mark’s comment that “reverie is lucidity without an object”.
Mark’s interview with Dr. Dave was very enjoyable and worth the listen. I thought they covered it well enough to give an understanding of the subject.
