"In this outstanding, groundbreaking work, Art Rosengarten, a
licensed clinical psychologist, sets the stage for a new
integration of psychology and Tarot.... Cutting across
methodologies, theories, and statistics, Tarot emphasizes the
"heartbeat of experience"...Rosengarten does an excellent job of
defining terms and explaining techniques so that they make sense to
the lay reader. He also uses exciting real-life examples and
stories to make his methods crystal clear and demonstrate their
practicality.... This book is truly innovative and exciting, by a
therapist and tarot reader possessing a compassionate and poetic
soul that radiates through each word he writes."--Mary K. Greer,
TAROT Newsletter, Summer 2000
"Rosengarten's remarkable work spans the abyss that yawns between
psychology and mysticism, and does so without diminishment to art
or science."--Lon Milo DuQuette, Author of Tarot Of Ceremonial
Magick
"This book is a wonderful support document for the power of Tarot
as a counseling tool. Mr. Rosengarten writes in a very clear and
casual style which makes complex concepts understand-able to the
lay person. This book is a valuable companion to the core books....
Somewhat technical at times, the author's "every-day" references
and context clarify within the body of the work, making frequent
trips to a dictionary unnecessary. There were a few sections that
were theoretically over my head, but their content was not
necessary to follow these document to it's logical conclusion.
Bravo!"--Errol McLendon, Taroist, Chicago, IL
"This is a book that challenges the thinking of both practicing
clinical psychologist and practicing Tarot readers...this work is
based on solid clinical training and the author's own extensive
research and practical clinical experience. The author has
developed a Spectrum of Possibility for each card in the Tarot
deck. These spectra are not the cut and dried "card meanings"...but
rich shades of psychological meaning...the author explains the
Jungian Theory of Synchronicity, that is, the notion of acausality.
This is the most lucid and uncomplicated exposition of this
important and oft misunderstood subject. This is a "must read" for
clinicians who are looking for new approaches to old problems and
for Tarotists looking for a work with more depth and meaning than
yet another description of the archetypal images of the Major
Arcana."--Linda Gail Walters, Student of Tarot, San Diego, CA
"Were I still in practice, I would test for myself the integration
of Tarot (and other mantic methods) into analysis, something this
book has given me courage to attempt."--James A. Hall, MD, Author
of Jungian Dream Interpretation
