The Passion of Perpetua (Jungian Classics S.)
by Marie-Louise von Franz
In early 20th-century Britain, interest in psychoanalysis was high, leading to the formation of the famous Tavistock Clinic in 1920. E. Graham Howe was one of the clinic’s founders and the first to publish articles on psychotherapy. At the same time, he was attacked by the “scientific” psychiatry and psychoanalysis communities because he took concepts derived from spiritual practice and existential phenomenology and applied them to an understanding of psychotherapy. Howe’s writings included mo...
Ever since Jung's break with Freud, he has been excluded from both the psychoanalytic discourse and those schools of literary criticism influenced by psychoanalysis. But this very exclusion has shaped the discourse. Further, many of the analytic writings of Jung and the post-Jungian school of Developmental Jungians are parallel to work by contemporary ego psychologists and feminists, and could contribute to those fields. Jung's entire case throws much light upon the state of marginalization, its...
Essays on Contemporary Events (Jung Extracts) (Routledge Classics)
by C. G. Jung
This remarkable work is Jung's vigorous defence of his reputation following accusations after the Second World War that he was a Nazi sympathiser and supported their racial ideology.
Man and His Symbols owes its existence to one of Jung's own dreams. The great psychologist dreamed that his work was understood by a wide public, rather than just by psychiatrists, and therefore he agreed to write and edit this fascinating book. Here, Jung examines the full world of the unconscious, whose language he believed to be the symbols constantly revealed in dreams. Convinced that dreams offer practical advice, sent from the unconscious to the conscious self, Jung felt that self-understa...
First, Know Your Self (The Power of Polarities, #2)
by John Van Der Steur
HEART OF TAROT presents an entirely new way to read the tarot that doesn't involve memorising card meanings, using psychic skills, or learning obscure occult lore. Rather, it offers an amazingly accurate technique called 'Gestalt Tarot', which is based on the basic principles of psychology. It is easy to learn and master. Gestalt Tarot helps bring pertinent information from the subconscious to the conscious mind.
A Jungian psychoanalyst with a background in Judaism and Zen Buddhism explores the history of God concepts in the Judeo-Christian and Islamic traditions. This book is about the Abrahamic God's inner journey, an epic that begins in the Hebrew Bible-the common source of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. This God emerges as a living, textured personality as tormented as a Shakespearean character and as divided against humanity as the devil who personifies his dark side. Yet in heroic fashion, he e...
Die Arbeit setzt sich zum Ziel, die Bedeutung des Verstehens in der Psychologie Jungs hermeneutisch zu verdeutlichen. Die Bedeutung des Verstehens in der Psychologie Jungs liegt nicht nur im wissenschaftlichen Erfassen, sondern wesentlich im philosophischen bzw. symbolischen Verstehen. Das symbolische Verstehen ist das ganzheitliche Verstehen durch das Erleben der Wirkung des Archetypus an sich. Das Wesen des Archetypus an sich liegt im Transzendenten, das die Gegensatze des Bewusstseins und des...
Jung's Red Book, finally published only in 2009, is a highly ambiguous text describing a succession of extraordinary visions, together with Jung's interpretation of them. Red Book, Middle Way offers a new interpretation of Jung's Red Book, in terms of the Middle Way, as a universal principle and embodied ethic, paralleled both in the Buddha's teachings and elsewhere. Jung explicitly discusses the Middle Way in the Red Book (although this has been largely ignored by scholars so far) as well as of...
