The Way of the Image by Yoram Kaufmann is a depth psychology and symbolic interpretation book centered on the study of images as carriers of psychic meaning. Drawing on Jungian ideas while presenting its own distinct method, the book argues that images from dreams, fairy tales, myths, films, and literature should be approached as meaningful forms rather than treated as decorative or merely subjective material. Kaufmann presents an orientational approach, a framework that aims to identify the intrinsic structure of an image by placing it within a system of coordinates. The goal is not simple interpretation in the conventional sense, but translation: reading what the image is showing about the psyche and about a person’s lived situation. This makes the book relevant to therapists, analysts, and readers interested in symbolic thinking. It is both theoretical and practical, emphasizing how images can reveal objective patterns, archetypal tensions, and the guiding influence of the Self in human experience.
