A sense of ritual in the modern world had ostensibly vanished following the breakdown of institutionalized religion. The importance of rituals as expressions of fundamental psychological conditions was recognized by Jung, but most psychologists have shied away from religious experience in analysis. However, the apparent chaos and pointlessness of modern life prompt questions which in turn prompt search and revelation, processes which are themselves a form of ritual. Our religious capacity is thus activated, with or without therapist, companion or priest. In Susceptible to the Sacred Bani Shorter, a well-known Jungian analyst, examines the psychological experience of ritual in contemporary life through personalized and descriptive images that suggest and imply the place of ritual in the pyschology of the individual and group. Basing her book on live material ranging from the consulting room to larger cultural events, Bani Shorter investigates, with great sensitivity, how people perceive the sacred and use ritual in their search for purpose, motivation and transformation
