HAS PSYCHOTHERAPY SOMETHING ESSENTIAL to learn from the art of the novel? Turning to literature as to "the other" of psychotherapy and analysis, the author of this essay, a practicing Jungian analyst, finds in the great novelist Joseph Conrad's account of the truth for which art strives a soulful alternative to the "evidence-based(TM)" modes of practice that have turned much of psychotherapy in our day into a subject-less, world-less, technical exercise. Theoretically rich, and illustrated with penetrating examples from literature and life, the essay also provides, in lieu of a seminar, extensive endnotes pertinent to that speculative turn in analytical psychology which is known as Psychology as the Discipline of Interiority.
