Research in Analytical Psychology

"An outstanding collection in both breadth and depth that takes off from Jung's prescient attitudes to scientific and scholarly research. It will significantly enhance the presence of analytical psychology and Jungian studies in university environments. A welcome and distinguishing feature is that many of the chapters reflect contemporary clinical perspectives, grounding research in lived experience. Readers will note with approval the manifold ways in which Jung's colonial attitudes to culture and society are challenged and reframed for the contemporary reader. The book will greatly interest academics, scholars, students, and the clinical communities." Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex, UK "The essays in this initial volume in the set Research in Analytical Psychology expand importantly on the work of C.G. Jung, investigating the psyche from a variety of perspectives. The contributions are suggestive of directions to pursue toward approaching the ultimate goal of extending our consciousness and understanding of psychic reality." --Murray Stein, Ph.D., author of Jung's Treatment of Christianity "Here is a book that gives fresh impetus to ongoing research in analytical psychology, opening new pathways for its development. Its authors draw on clinical experience and theoretical practice to point them out, and integrate observations, methods, and investigations from other disciplines. As a result, interdisciplinary approaches and prospecting are at the very heart of the advancements suggested to us here." - Christian Gaillard, author of The Soul of Art: Analysis and Creation (Texas AM University Press, 2017); former professor at the National Academy of Fine Arts, Paris; former president, SFPA and IAAP "This work is a welcome development in the field of analytical psychology. Expanding research beyond the clinical realm to include evocative interdisciplinary explorations of analytical psychology with such diverse disciplines as science, history and cultural studies will inevitably lead to an enriched and en-souled experience for both researcher and reader." --Jeffrey T. Kiehl, Ph.D., Jungian Analyst, Santa Cruz, California, USA
