'...the authors of this volume observe the psyche at play in wide-ranging fields that stretch from the science laboratory to the analytic consulting room--from physics and mathematics to collective and personal catastrophe, to synchronicity, symptom, art, song, dream, myth, and the experiencing body. These seemingly far-flung contributions join in a vital persuasion: the playful psyche draws us into the "chaos of chance" and "wondrous mischance" with purpose--namely to imbue life with new meaning.'
