Die Symbolik der Farben

"Green is hope" or "I see black there" - even our everyday language makes it clear that colors express emotions and, positively or negatively, have an effect on us. Colors therefore bring us into contact with certain energy fields, as the renowned Jungian analyst and psychotherapist Ingrid Riedel shows in this great standard work on the symbolism of colors. In her depth-psychological color theory, she describes the psychic effects of the colors red, blue, yellow, green, orange, violet, brown, black, white, silver, gold, pink, and gray, and asks about the respective archetypes that stand behind these colors and cause their energetic radiant powers. With its numerous examples from religion, society, art and psychotherapy, this book enables us to perceive colors better and to deal with them more consciously.
