Progoff, a former protege of psychologist Carl Jung, has devised an innovative way of keeping a psychological journal.
Like most Jungian psychologists, Progoff feels that each of us possess self-directing, self-healing capacities which are not always accessible to our day-to-day consciousness. Persons seeking to get in touch with these capabilities have usually required professional guidance. The Intensive Journal method was developed to allow people to use journal-writing to gain entry to those capacities.
My own experiences with the exercises were deep and surprising. When people asked Anaïs Nin how to keep a diary, she referred them to this book. —Tom Ferguson, M.D.
