On Divination & Synchronicity

1969

Marie-Louise von Franz, for many years a coworker with C.G. Jung, is an acknowledged authority on the psychological interpretation of fairytales, dreams, myths, and alchemy. In this book, originally a series of lectures at the Jung Institute in Zurich, she turns her attention to the meaning of the irrational. With penetrating insight she examines the psychological baclground to time, number, and methods of divining fate such as the I Ching, astrology, Tarot cards, palmistry, dice, random patterns, etc. Contrasting Western scientific attitudes with those of the Chinese and so-called primitives, she explains and illustrates Jung's ideas on archetypes, projection, psychic energy, and synchronicity.

The Owl Was a Baker's Daughter

1980

Eye-opening insights into the body as mirror of the psyche in eating disorders and weight disturbances. Case studies and practical procedures emphasize the integration of the body and soul.

Alchemy

An Introduction to the Symbolism and the Psychology

1981

It was the genius of C.G. Jung to discover in the "holy technique" of alchemy a parallel to the psychological individuation process. This book, by Jung's long-time friend and coworker, completely demystifies the subject. Designed as an introduction to Jung's more detailed studies, and profusely illustrated, here is a lucid and practical account of what the alchemists were really looking for—emotional balance and wholeness. Once again, Marie-Louise von Franz demonstrates her remarkable gift for translating esoteric symbolic material into everyday experience. For the images and motifs that so occupied the alchemists were of an archetypal nature, and as such they constantly turn up in modern dreams and drawings. This is an important book, invaluable for an understanding of dreams and indispensable for anyone interested in relationships and communication between the sexes.

Descent to the Goddess

A Way of Initiation for Women

1983

This is a highly original and provocative book about women's freedom and the need for an inner, female authority in a masculine-oriented society. Combining ancient texts and modern dreams, the author, a practising therapist, presents a way of feminine initiation. Sumertian Goddess of Heaven and Earth, journeys into the underworld to Ereshkigal, her dark "sister", and returns. So modern women must descend from their old role-determind behavior into the depths of their instinct and image patterns, to find anew the Great Goddess and restore her values to modern culture. Men too will be interested in this book, both for its revelations of women's essential nature and for its implications in terms of their own inner journey.

C.G. Jung and Paul Tillich

The Psyche As Sacrament

1981

In the Western world, psychology and religion are not easy companions. This book illustrates with great clarity that the antagonism is unnecessary. C.G. Jung the psychiatrist (1875-1961) and Paul Tillich the theologian (1886-1965) both understand God as immediately present, an inner reality and an inner resource. Tillich points to God as a power in life that transcends the ego, urging man on to wholeness―a power Jung calls the Self, the regulating centre of the personality. Tillich speaks of self-acceptance, Jung of relating to one’s complexes. Tillich writes of the journey towards essential humanity, Jung of the process of individuation. With a perspective that embraces both camps, the author examines the deeper meaning, for Christian and nonbeliever alike, of God, Christ, the Spirit, the Trinity, morality, and much else. “In the depths of the soul,” he concludes, “the psychological task and the religious task are one.”

Addiction to Perfection

The Still Unravished Bride: A Psychological Study

1982

Addiction to Perfection By Marion Woodman Through case studies, dreams, and myths, a Jungian analyst explores the hidden causes of compulsion in the lives of men and women. At the root of eating disorders, substance abuse, and other addictive and compulsive behaviors, Woodman sees a hunger for spiritual fulfillment. The need to experience a sacred connection to an energy greater than their own drives people to search for an illusory ideal of perfection. Through discussions of parenthood, creativity, and body image, this presentation shows that freedom from addiction can be found by discovering the wisdom and power of the feminine principle.

#13

Jungian Dream Interpretation

1983

Dreams, called God's forgotten language by some and messages from the devil by others, have long been seen as portents of the future. But the modern belief that dreams are intimately related to the personal psychology, attitudes and behavior patterns of the dreamer owes much to the pioneering work of the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who showed that in dreams the unconscious comes vividly to life. Here is a comprehensive and practical guide to an understanding of dreams in light of the basic principles of Jung's Analytical Psychology. Jung's model of the psyche is concisely described and discussed, with many clinical examples of dreams and how they may be interpreted in context. Particular attention is given to common and recurrent dream motifs, traumatic dreams, compensatory and purposive functions of dreams, dreams as prognostic of illness or physical change, and how dreams are related to the stage of life and individuation process of the dreamer.

1986

Book by Hall, James A.

#27

Phallos

Sacred Image of the Masculine

1987

In this 141 page book, the author looks at the old patriarchal values regarding men and discusses how the essential characteristics of the masculine must be differentiated from the entrenched attitudes of the patriarchy. This book "is concerned with the archetypal basis of masculinity. Through close examination of the physical, mythological and psychological manifestations of phallos, the author discovers an autonomous inner god, coequal with the maternal principle as an originating force in the psyche. Phallos emerges here as an essentially mysterious divine reality that is at once practical and numinous, object of fascination and religious devotion for both men and women - a signature of personal identity for half the human race."

#28

The Christian Archetype

A Jungian Commentary on the Life of Christ

1987

This book presents a much-need psychological interpretation of images and events central to the Christian myth, which may be understood symbolically in terms of the individuation of modern men and women. The process of individuation, when it befalls a person, may lead to salvation or calamity. The reader will find here an ordered and graphic amplification of this archetypal process. In prose and in pictures carefully selected from traditional Christian art, the author illustrates some essential stages—from Annunciation through Crucifixion to Resurrection—both in the life of Christ and in those who by choice or fate become immersed in their own psychological destiny. Annunciation \ Nativity \ Flight into Egypt \ Baptism \ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem \ Last Supper \ Gethsemane \ Arrest and Trial \ Flagellation and Mocking \ Crucifixion \ Lamentation and Entombment \ Resurrection and Ascension \ Pentecost \* Assumption and Coronation of Mary

#29

Personality Types

Jung's Model of Typology

1987

This book is not a critique or a defence of the model of psychological types elaborated by C.G. Jung, but rather an explanation. The intention here is not to simplify the model, but to illustrate its complexity and some of its practical implications.

#32

The Sacred Prostitute

1988

The ancient connection between spirituality and passionate love has in modern times become lost to the depths of the unconscious, leaving a broad sense of dissatisfaction and boredom in relationships. When the Goddess of Love was still honored, the sacred prostitute was virgin in the original sense of the word (one-in-herself), a person of deep integrity whose welcome for the stranger was radiant, self-confident and sensuous. Her raison d'etre was to bring the goddess' love into direct contact with mankind. In this union of opposites- masculine and feminine, spiritual and physical- the personal was transcended and the divine entered in. In those days, human sexuality and the religious attitude were inseparable. This exhilarating book, solidly based on the psychology of C.G. Jung, powerfully illustrates how our vitality and capacity for joy depend on restoring the soul of the sacred prostitute to its rightful place in our conscious understanding.

#40

Eros and Pathos

Shades of Love and Suffering

1987

This provocative look at love and pain asks some hard questions. Why do we fear love? Why are we never satisfied? Why do we hurt those close to us? How do we invite betrayal? What can we learn about ourselves from eroticism, abandonment, solitude? What unconscious drives are at work in seduction, jealousy, the desire for power? Is there a connection between love, suffering and creativity? Here the reader meets his or her most intimate images, some heart warming, some unsettling. Within the context of that encounter we are offered a perspective that illumines countless dark moments in our experience of ourselves and others. At the still point where passion and terror originate sits the crucible of transformation in which are reshaped the joys and torments of both past and future. There is treasure in the darkness, and this book brings it to light.

#41

Animus Aeternus

Exploring the Inner Masculine

1991

"The animus is the deposit, as it were, of all woman's ancestral experiences of man-and not only that, he is also a creative and procreative being." -C.G. Jung Inextricably enmeshed in the life of every woman is a constellation of autonomous energy that Jung called animus, her masculine side. As a woman develops psychologically, animus changes, appearing and reappearing as child or adult, lover or enemy, king or slave, animal or spirit. All these manifestations of animus energy are reflected in her experience of masculinity, both in herself and in others. Animus Aeternus weaves developmental theories from depth psychology with the poetry of women-including Sylvia Plath, Adrienne Rich, Emily Dickinson, Teresa of Avila and Edna St. Vincent Millay-to trace the history and meaning of this lifetime companion, illustrating how animus participates in a woman's life, whether we are conscious of it or not. Like dreams and active imagination, poetry speaks in images from the soul. In choosing women's poetry as well as their dreams to illustrate the essence of animus, the author adds the immediacy of soul-made truths to the lucidity of her conceptual matrix. Deldon Anne McNeely received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Louisiana State University and is a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology. A senior analyst of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, she is a training analyst for their New Orleans Jungian Seminar.

The Middle Passage

From Misery to Meaning in Midlife

1993

Why do so many go through so much disruption in their middle years? Why then? Why do we consider it to be a crisis? The Middle Passage presents us with an opportunity to reexamine our lives and to ask: "Who am I apart from my history and the roles I have played?" It is an occasion for redefining and reorienting the personality, a necessary rite of passage between the extended adolescence of the first adulthood and our inevitable appointment with old age and mortality. The Middle Passage addresses the following issues: How did we acquire our original sense of self? What are the changes that herald the Middle Passage? How does one revision the sense of self? What is the relationship between Jung's concept of individuation and our commitment to others? What attitudes and behavior support individuation and help us move from misery to meaning? This book shows how we may travel the Middle Passage consciously, thereby rendering our lives more meaningful and the second half of life immeasurably richer. —back cover

1994

These and many other issues are addressed, suggesting concrete ways in which men may reclaim their sense of personal integrity.

#66

The Mysterium Lectures

A Journey Through C.G. Jung's Mysterium Coniunctionis

1995

This book is a section by section commentary on Jung's Mysterium Coniunctionis. Alchemy is a confusing topic by itself. Jung's interpretation of it is highly nuanced and can easily be confusing as well. And so one needs someone with the insight and knowledge of an Edward Edinger to lead the reader throught the murky terrain of Jung's text. Edinger is one of those rare authors who is able to be deep and insightful yet clear and concise at the same time. Includes many helpful diagrams, as well as an excellent index.

Psyche in Scripture

The Idea of the Chosen People and Other Essays

1995

The Old Testament is the written record of profound religious experiences, and in this sense "inspired." The awesome events recounted in the Bible inform the spiritual stance of Western culture to this day, and they contain important clues about destiny, not only past but future. As our understanding broadens, our sense of membership in a global community may supersede the specific religious lessons of our early years. But we cannot simply shrug off our inner history without damage to the soul. Rather we must try to grasp the symbolic content of our psychic heritage, as Dr. Kluger does in this volume. The first three essays here, originally published in 1974 under the title Psyche and Bible, have become classics in the field. Two of the author's later essays on individuation symbolism, and a comprehensive index, have been added to make Psyche in Scripture.

#71

The Aion Lectures

Exploring the Self in C.G. Jung's Aion

1996

Title #71. Jung's Aion laid the foundation for a whole new scholarly discipline that could be called archetypal psychohistory. It applies the insights of depth psychology to the analysis of cultural development, here focusing on the idea of the God-image, or Self, as it has evolved over 2,000 years of Western thinking. An edited transcript of the lecture series given at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles, 1988-89.

#73

Swamplands of the Soul

New Life in Dismal Places

1996

Is the purpose of life to achieve happiness? Who does not long to arrive some distant day at that sunlit meadow where we may abide in pure contentment? In reality we know life is not like that; our road is often dreary, the way unclear. Much of the time we are lost in the dismal states of guilt, grief, betrayal, doubt, depression, anger, terror and the like. Is this all we can hope for? Perhaps not, says this author. The Jungian perspective, by encompassing both the meadow and the bog, asserts that the goal of life is not happiness but meaning. And meaning, though it may not be all sunlight and blossoms, is real. Swamplands of the Soul explores the quicksands where we have all floundered. It lights a beacon by showing what they mean in terms of our individual journey and the engendering of soul. For it is precisely where we encounter the gravitas of life that we also uncover its purpose, its dignity and its deepest meaning.

#74

Food and Transformation

Imagery and Symbolism of Eating

1996

This book is not about eating disorders, dietary problems or proper nutrition. Instead it explores in depth the complex meanings attached to food and eating. Food and Transformation is a cornucopia of psychological insights on nourishment and eating as expressed through dreams, myths and customs, and through the half-hidden images incorporated in language.

#75

Archetypes & Strange Attractors

1997

Jung's theory of symbolic influence has, since the advent of Chaos Theory, been given new credence. A graduate of Zurich's C.G. Jung Institute, John R. Van Eenwyk, discusses here how the new science has affected Jungian Psychology, thereby exploring the link between the dynamics of symbols in the psyche and of chaos in the world of matter.

#76

1998

Providing a comprehensive overview of Jung's basic concepts and their application, this text provides an introduction for students and readers new to Jungian ideas. Part One, on psychological types, the shadow and the persona, leads on to a section on archetypes and complexes. This is followed by chapters on projection and identification, anima and animus. The text then turns to the midlife crisis, and to neurosis and individuation. It then addresses the analytic experience; and concludes with a series of writings on psychological development, self-knowledge, personality and individuation, and the religious dimension.

#82

Now or Neverland

Peter Pan and the Myth of Eternal Youth a Psychological Perspective on a Cultural Icon

1999

Now Or Neverland offers a comprehensive overview of the eternal boy syndrome from its roots in mythology to present day psychological interpretations, including a detailed study of its twentieth century depiction by J.M. Barrie in his famous play and novel. Underlying the author's lively discussion of the positive and negative aspects of Peter Pan is an overriding question: How might the archetypal energy, for which he is a figure, shape the lives of the individual and the collective?

#83

The Cat

1972

The Cat is a Romanian fairy tale of some complexity and great charm. It is the story of a princess who at the age of 17 is bewitched-turned into a cat. She must remain in that form until an emperor's son will come and cut off her head ... eventually a simple-minded emperor's son, searching the earth for fine linen, finds her and accomplishes the task. How and why this happens is patiently dissected by von Franz with her characteristic erudition and earthy humor. One by one Dr. von Franz unravels the symbolic threads in this story, from enchantment to beating, the ringing of bells, golden apples, somersaults, witches, etc., and, throughout, the great themes of redemption and the union of opposites, always relating them to both individual and collective psychology. This is Marie-Louise von Franz at her very best, theoretically lucid, sharply insightful and grounded in lived experience.

#84

Celebrating Soul

Preparing for the New Religion

1999

"An excellent introduction to the spiritual as opposed to the clinical aspects of Jungian psychology." -Prof. Adam Brillig Ph.D., DDM, Jungian Analyst (Ret.) The author writes: " Discernible on the horzon are the first traces of light from a new sun, a new religion, the product of a marriage between reason and faith, science and religion. The closet approximation we have to this today is Jung's school of psychology, which affirms the redemptive power of consciousness." An exposition on the spiritual significance of Jungian psychology.

The Problem of the Puer Aeternus

1970

The Latin term puer aeternus means eternal youth. In Jungian psychology it is used to describe a certain type of man - charming, affectionate, creative and ever in pursuit of his dreams. These are the men who remain adolescent well into their adult years, generally full of life yet strangely draining to those around them. We have worked with them, loved them and watched them wave good-bye. It is impossible to overstate the influence on both men and women of this classic study, originally a series of lectures at the Zurich Jung Institute. It is Jungian psychology in its most down-to-earth voice, telling it like it is so accurately and with such a depth of understanding that it is still much in demand even though it has been out of print for many years. This new edition features a Bibliography and an extensive Index.

Aurora Consurgens

1966

Aurora Consurgens, the 89th title in the series of Studies in Jungian Psychology by Jungian Analysts, reputed to be the last work of St. Thomas Aquinas, was seen by psychologist Cari G. Jung as a validation of his view that the traditional practice of alchemy was an attempt to express unconscious psychic contents through their projection onto matter. Marie-Louise von Franz's analysis and commentary suggest that Aquinas experienced a breakthrough of the unconscious while expounding on the vision of the mystic marriage in the biblical Song of Solomon. She also draws attention to insights that she believes relevant to the process of individuation in modern men and women.

Creating a Life

Finding Your Individual Path

2000

Ask yourself, 'When do I feel most real?' What comes up on the screen? All of us have had moments in our lives when we felt whole or wholly present, or experienced a sense of well-being, an intuition of a higher order of reality. Such moments are transitory, alas, and cannot be summoned up by will or mind or right conduct, just as the person who seeks humility finds more and more that pride and one-sidedness push the goal further and further away. - excerpt from Creating A Life

Jung and Yoga

2000

This text looks at the parallels between yoga practice and Jungian analysis, focusing on Jung's ideas as experienced through bodywork. Previously hidden energy brings psyche and body together, uniting them in sacred union that gives birth to a new consciousness.

Digesting Jung

Food for the Journey

2001

This book evolved out of the author's desire to pin-point key passages in Jung's writings that have nourished him for many years. It provides readers new to analytical psychology with the main ingredients of Jung's work and how they might flavor a life in search of meaning.. Those already familiar with Jung's ideas will savor again the continuing relevance of his holistic approach to psychological issues. Each chapter is headed by an appetizer, which is then fleshed out by the author's commentary—an elucidation or experiential interpretation, sometimes both—meant to stimulate the reader to ruminate on the unconscious factors that influence us all. Those seeking a more robust meal will be amply rewarded by following up the references.

World Weary Woman

2001

A World Weary Woman is one whose characteristic response to stress is to struggle to achieve ambitious goals. To achieve means to succeed at something that is recognized and rewarded by the collective. However, she feels little joy in the process, suffering a disconnection from her feminine body wisdom and her creativity. Her task is to find a way of living authentically that allows her to express what awakens her heart. Many Type A women are World Weary. They are seekers. It is this soulful quest for further development that informs their progression. World Weary Women is not content to live mechanically. The provisional life exhausts her and she knows it. She must detach from who she has been, in order to discover who she is meant to be.

Animus and Anima in Fairy Tales

1991

Le fiabe, se considerate con serietà, svelano il loro carico di significati inconsci ed esercitano una risonanza emotiva molto forte. Con la loro semplicità e immediatezza, toccano le corde più nascoste del nostro essere raggiungendo le emozioni più profonde. Sono la rivelazione delle dinamiche archetipiche della psiche inconscia. In questo volume M.-L. von Franz esamina alcune fiabe nel tentativo di cogliere quel che hanno da dirci sulle funzioni psichiche cui diamo nome di Animus (l'immagine interna del maschile nella psiche femminile) e di Anima (l'immagine del femminile presente nella psiche maschile). Perché parlando dei re e delle regine, parliamo di fatto di Animus e di Anima, quella coppia reale che esercita la funzione di governo sulle nostre fantasie e comportamenti, sia interiori che esteriori, in relazione all'altro sesso. "L'Animus e l'Anima - affermano i curatori nella prefazione al volume - non potranno più essere visti come astrazioni o mere teorie: M.-L. von Franz ci aiuta a capire e a sentire che queste immagini sono personificazioni di movimenti misteriosi e di dinamiche vitali. Contengono il segreto di una vita piena, relazionata e in sintonia con la nostra natura interiore."

2003

Over the years James Hollis has offered us many a feast, and we have grown to appreciate the nourishment of their unique mixtures of bitter and sweet. Here he shares our boat, navigating the questions without charts that haunt us all. This is not a book of revealed truths. Rather it surrenders to the questions, guided only by whatever insight, endurance and energy each of us may have. He acknowledges the uniqueness and value of each individual life journey, sharing his personal experience only so that we can find our own understanding.

Archetype Revisited

An Updated Natural History of the Self

2002

Archetype: A Natural History of the Self, first published in 1982 was a ground-breaking book; the first to explore the connections between Jung's archetypes and evolutionary disciplines such as ethology and sociobiology, and an excellent introduction to the archetypes in theory and practical application as well. C.G. Jung's 'archetypes of the collective unconscious' have traditionally remained the property of analytical psychology, and have commonly been dismissed as 'mystical' by scientists. But Jung himself described them as biological entities, which, if they exist at all, must be amenable to empirical study. In the work of Bowlby and Lorenz, and in recent studies of the bilateral brain, Dr Anthony Stevens has discovered the key to opening up this long-ignored scientific approach to the archetypes, originally envisaged by Jung himself. At last, in a creative leap made possible by the cross-fertilisation of several specialist disciplines, psychiatry can be integrated with psychology, with ethology and biology. The result is an immensely enriched science of human behaviour. In this revised, updated edition, Anthony Stevens considers the enormous cultural, social and intellectual changes that have taken place in the past 20 years, and includes: \* An updated chapter on The Archetypal Masculine and Feminine, reflecting recent research findings and developments in the thinking of feminists \* Commentary on the intrusion of neo-Darwinian thinking into psychology and psychiatry \* Analysis of what has happened to the archetype in the past 20 years in terms of our understanding of it and our responses to it

The Irish Bull God

Image of Multiform and Integral Masculinity

2003

Contemporary Western culture is seeking a new paradigm of manliness relevant to both men and women, at all stages of life. More and more we question the models provided by our personal and collective fathers. We have been trapped in too narrow a definition of the masculine. We are ready for a new one, one that does not diminish the essence of maleness, but is also broader than the too-pervasive limits of toughness, defensiveness, rigidity, rationality and aggression. Our very survival may depend on growing into a broader sense of the masculine, one that welcomes equal partnership with women, lifting from them the burden of hiding their own fullness of character so as not to intimidate the men around them or be the targets of their aggression. One that encourages the growth of the new generation, the new idea, the new crop, the new art, with the confidence of understanding that none of them can emerge without receptive fathering. An enlarged concept of masculinity is the promise of this most engaging book.

#108

The Sacred Psyche

A Psychological Approach to the Psalms

2003

The Biblical Psalms are the great treasury of Judeo-Christian spirituality. Yahweh dwells within them. Psychologically, this means that the living presence of the Self animates the Psalms, which therefore have the power to constellate the archetype of the God-image in those individuals who are receptive to their influence. Even many self-professed irreligious people have been astonished to discover that certain Psalms were the only texts that spoke to their condition during a period of grave psychic upheaval. Today, traditional Judeo-Christianity is at a crucial turning point. But the poetry of the Psalms still rewards the effort to understand and relate their message to individual, contemporary, psychological experience. Originally a lecture series, The Sacred Psyche resonates with Dr. Edinger's heartfelt, deeply honest responses to these powerful texts.

#109

Mythologems

Incarnations of the Invisible World

2004

Tales told by shadowy elders around ancient campfires offered both explanation and comfort. Life hasn’t changed that our dependence on explanation and comfort still lies just under our busy ambition and constant yearning. Most of the time, the basic assumptions of our early years were so viscerally absorbed that we have never made them articulate, and therefore never had any way to evaluate their relevance for us now. What if they are outdated? Immature? Beside the point?

The Passion of Perpetua

1951

This book started life as an academic study for a seminar with C.G. Jung. It was first published in English translation in 1949, then published in German in 1951 as a supplement to Jung’s volume Aion. St. Perpetua—patron saint of mothers in the Catholic pantheon—was an African Christian martyred in 203 A.D. She lived her truth to her last moment. Those not familiar with Perpetua’s story will nevertheless appreciate this book because of the psychological understanding that von Franz brought to everything she focused on. In this circumambulation of the events and visions of the saint’s life, we are fortunate to hear the clear voices of two strong women. As always, Marie-Louise von Franz shares insights of immediate value that are both deeply erudite and strikingly practical.

Not the Big Sleep

On Having Fun, Seriously: A Jungian Romance

2004

With this book, The Brillig Trilogy becomes The Brillig Quartet. In this volume, the author and the redoubtable Professor Adam Brillig collaborate to create a sparkling love story, salted with balls and ball games, Eros, contained lust and the unpredictable world of the psyche, grounded at all times in the classical precepts of Jungian individuation, typology, complexes, conflict, active imagination, projection, enantiodromia, the holding of tension, and the transcendent function. Jung often noted that the movement from three to four was difficult but psychologically crucial. As expressed in the alchemical Axiom of Maria-"One becomes two, two becomes three, and out of the third comes the one as the fourth"-we must regularly reassess where we are in our pursuit of wholeness. Read all about it in Not the Big Sleep, the author's latest foray into the unknown.

#113

The Use of Dreams in Couple Counseling

A Jungian Perspective

2005

One of the main tasks in the psychological individuation process is the reconciliation of opposites, especially the opposition between consciousness and the unconscious. Dreams create a bridge between these two worlds. Jung sees the dream as the steady endeavor of the unconscious to create the best possible equilibrium in the psyche. Dreams are a means to establish a homeostatic balance, or at least to show the dreamer what would be necessary to achieve this balance. Psychotherapists of many different schools use dreams in individual therapy, but very few use them in counseling couples. Indeed, marriage and family therapists often have no experience in this area because dream interpretation is seldom included in their training. In this book, with the help of numerous examples, dr. Nell explains the efficacy of dream interpretation when working with couples, individually and in groups, in the diagnosis and treatment of emotional disturbances.

#114

Potency

Masculine Aggression as a Path to the Soul

2006

The collapse of patriarchy—that is, the social dominance of males as an assumed cultural given—is on our doorstep if not already in the house. Men feel this change deeply. Almost everywhere, being born male has made a man feel entitled, so deeply has patriarchy been the common parlance of ego culture.

#115

On Staying Awake

Getting Older and Bolder: Another Jungian Romance

2006

This engaging sequel to the author's Not the Big Sleep is a salute to relationships, the primacy of eros over logos, and the importance of consciousness. In song and dance, and with the help of Prof. Adam Brillig and various lovelies, Sharp leads readers joyfully through the thicket of some basic Jungian concepts, including the nuances of typology, complexes and the process of individuation.

#116

Longing for Paradise

Psychological Perspectives on an Archetype

1985

The longing for freedom from conflict, suffering and deprivation is an eternal human dream of great emotional power. It is the dream of total happiness, embodied in almost all cultures as the myth of Paradise. The author, a Jungian analyst, begins with a discussion of the psychological connection between the idea of Paradise and the crucially decisive quality of the Mother-infant relationship in determining a child's development.

#117

Eyes Wide Open

Late Thoughts: Another Jungian Romance

2007

This final book in The SleepNot Trilogy (with Not the Big Sleep, and On Staying Awake) favors readers with new glimpses into the soul of the author and the many life, love and death issues, personal and collective, that he grapples with. With candor, insight and humor, interweaving his own story with psychological verities and Jung's concepts, Sharp and Prof. Adam Brillig chart the course, and trials, of individuation that are part and parcel of everyone's journey through life.

The Gambler

Romancing Lady Luck (A Jungian Exploration)

2007

Gambling, once shunned as a criminal activity, is now a main-stream component of Western culture. Participation in gambling is reported by over 80% of people in North America. This is the first ever book on gamblers and gambling from a Jungian perspective. Most studies of gambling activities focus on addiction to the game(s), but this book covers the gamut, from recreational to pathological gambling. The author explores the archetypal foundations of the gambler through 1) amplification of images of Lady Luck; 2) the role of "play" as an activity informing the gambler's approach to the game; and 3) images of the gambler on the continuum from play to addiction-all in the service of becoming better acquainted with the gambler in ourselves and in those around us. Case stories are included in this exceptionally insightful study of the inner and outer forces that urge many of us to take a chance-on slots, cards, dice, lotteries, horses, roulette, stocks, love and more, with particular attention to gambling in casinos.

#119

At the Heart of Matter

Synchronicity and Jung's Spiritual Testament

2007

This is an extraordinary book. It is important both for its clarification of the phenomenon of synchronicity and for its implications for the survival of Western civilization. The author, schooled in religious studies and science, takes readers gently through a basic understanding of physics, from classical Newtonian to modern quantum, and weds that to C.G. Jung’s long-standing enquiry into the enigmatic relationship between matter and spirit, selfhood and destiny. Here we meet the conjunction in time of three great minds: Swiss psychiatrist Jung; Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli; and the celebrated analyst-scholar Marie-Louise von Franz in their efforts to understand the mysterious interpenetration of time and the timeless. The journey is exciting and illuminating, and certain to mark a watershed in an understanding of the individuation process and the evolving practice of analytical psychology as a holistic approach to healing psychological ills.

An American Jungian

In Honor of Edward F. Edinger

2009

This extraordinary compilation brings together essays and reviews by Dr. Edinger together with appreciations by others of his work and interviews with him. None of it has previously been published in book form. Edward F. Edinger was such a significant presence in the worldwide Jungian community that this volume can only begin to assess his greatness as an interpreter of Jung s work and his dedication to the significance of Analytical psychology but it well illustrates his worth.

Valley of Diamonds

Adventures in Number and Time with Marie-Louise Von Franz

2010

During a serious illness in his sixties, C.G. Jung dreamed that he was in a valley of diamonds and could fill his pockets with them. He understood the diamonds to refer to all he had yet to say about the human psyche. But he realized that he could only show a fraction of what he had in his pockets. He lived on to write his major works, but one "diamond" left virtually untouched was the relationship between inner and outer, the mysterious interface between mind and matter. He believed the key to this conundrum lay in investigating the concept of numbers as archetypes of the unconscious, but he lacked the energy for it. This was the great task Jung bequeathed to his long-standing colleague, Marie-Louise von Franz, who heartily took it on in her prodigious tome, Number and Time (1974), which thoughtfully explores the space-time continuum, the psychological significance of the first four integers, 1-4, and parallel developments in the world of physics. Her enquiry is a difficult book, but seminal in laying the groundwork for a new worldview based on numbers as they manifest in dreams, everyday life, science and synchronistic events. J. Gary Sparks' masterful explication of Number and Time clarifies von Franz’s work and makes more accessible to all readers one of the proudly-faceted jewels Jung left as his legacy to genuine healing. Valley of Diamonds is a fitting sequel to this author’s previous book, At the Heart of Matter: Synchronicity and Jung’s Spiritual Testament (Inner City Books, 2007).

Live Your Nonsense

Halfway to Dawn with Eros: A Jungian Perspective on Individuation

2010

This book is inspired by Jung s cogent observation on the serious nature of People sometimes think that analysis will take the place of life; they protect themselves in that way against much nonsense that might be lived. But mind you, if you don't live your nonsense you will never have lived at all, and the meaning of life is surely that it is lived, not avoided. Nonsense does not always involve Eros, and the erotic is not always nonsense. But in my experience the two have generally gone hand in hand. This book recounts some of my own and others nonsense and hopes to give some insights into what that might mean in life. Nonsense is not necessarily frivolous, foolish or sinful. It may be politically or socially incorrect, but it is often a pointer to the essence of one's personality, which is what we Jungians call individuation becoming who you were meant to be. This is far, and only the swift reach it and are delighted. A Jungian with a sense of humor? Not an oxymoron, but Daryl Sharp. Here is an author able to put complex ideas into words and real-life situations that laymen can understand. It is a rare ability. Robertson Davies, author of Fifth Business, The Manticore and The Cunning Man.

Risky Business

A Jungian View of Environmental Disasters and the Nature Archetype

2011

In Risky Business, environmental disasters, our relationship with nature and the Nature archetype are explored from a Jungian perspective through the use of nature myths that illustrate greed and environmental destruction. Our relationship with nature is considered through a felt-sense of nature’s presence, what Jung called the “One World” or unus mundus. Using Jung’s complex theory and his work on archetypes, the author combines his background working as a scientist for hazardous waste cleanup projects and his training as a Jungian analyst to examine the psychological problem of toxic environmental spills. Risky Business examines how Jung’s theoretical ideas activate the psychology of not only the individual but also the collective when environmental disaster occurs. Specific toxic spill case studies illustrate how the Nature archetype can be expressed within communities that struggle with cleanup; the resolution of conflicts between parties often reveals the presence of what Jung called the Self working at the level of the group. Finally, the author discusses a love story written by J. R. R. Tolkien, within the framework of an alchemical model, as an allegory for building a resilient and more engaged relationship with nature.

Bees, Honey and the Hive

Circumambulating the Centre; A Jungian exploration of the symbolism and psychology

2011

The symbolism of bees, honey and the hive intertwine, but at the core is the imagery of the circumambulation of the centre. For bees, this is a dynamic in the service of the queen bee and the preservation of the hive. In depth psychological terms, circumambulation is linked with mandala symbolism or the archetype of inner order, an archetype that Jung said was perhaps the most important.This work explores the alchemical union of opposites through symbolism related to the life and nature of the bee. Some particular opposites associated with bees, honey and the hive include those of love and war, sweetness and bitterness, the individual and multiplicity, light and dark, order and chaos, industry and laziness, earth and heaven-the sky, sun and moon, spirit and matter, fertility and sterility, regeneration and death.The author brings together her practical experience as a beekeeper and insights gained in her work in depth psychology, particularly through an appreciation of
