This fascinating volume investigates how the concept of soul is connected to BDSM and kink, exploring the world of alternative sexualities through the psychology of C. G. Jung and James Hillman as listeners are guided on a provocative, lively journey through darker aspects of the sexual imagination.

This book unveils surprising points of correspondence between the tortured fantasy-images of Jung's The Red Book and the modern world of BDSM and describes from Hillman's psychology a soul-centered perspective that affirms the psychological value of fantasy-images animating our human lives. The book considers the collective archetypal sources of historical trauma which have provided inspiration to some of the more disquieting aspects of BDSM and details how the deep psychology of BDSM creates a space to engage these practices. Kinksters and BDSM practitioners will discover a psychological language that clarifies and affirms why these activities and relationships can be so intimate, pleasurable, and transformative.

Psychotherapists and enthusiasts of Jungian and archetypal psychology will find fresh insights that support the practice of BDSM as a form of individuation.

Contains mature themes.
