Joseph Campbell (1904-1988) was one of the most well-known and popular scholars of myth and comparative religion of the twentieth century. His work, however, has never fully received the same amount of scholarly interest and critical reflection that some of his contemporaries have received. In this book, based on extensive research in the Joseph Campbell Archive in Santa Barbara, Ritske Rensma shows that reflecting on C.G. Jung's influence on Campbell greatly furthers our understanding of these ideas, and that once this goal is achieved it becomes obvious that Campbell was a scholar whose ideas are still of significance today. Following Jung's lead, Campbell put great emphasis on the innate structures of the mind, an approach which pre-echoes the current 'evolutionary turn' in fields such as cognitive theory, psychology, psychiatry and neurobiology. This study will therefore not just be of interest to students and scholars interested in psychological approaches to the study of religion as well as Jung and Campbell, but also to those with an interest in recent developments in the above-mentioned fields.

Anselm Kiefer's work is characterized by its emotional investigations into Germany's historical past. For years, he has probed both the myths and events that have shaped German history and has offered thought-provoking insights into their relationship and significance through his paintings and artist's books. In this text, Rafael Lopez-Pedraza draws on his experience and knowledge as a trained psychologist to present a new reading of Kiefer's work. He addresses the central issues of myth and history in the artist's work through the perspective of Jung's writings, in particular Jung's essay "After the Catastrophe". Unfolding the nature of Kiefer's comlex creativity, the author demonstrates how depth psychology can help us to better understand Kiefer's art and ideas. He uses a variety of images from Kiefer's career to illustrate his argument, providing an overview of Kiefer's entire creative expression.

In studies of psychology's role in modernism, Carl Jung is usually relegated to a cameo appearance, if he appears at all. This book rethinks his place in modernist culture during its formative years, mapping Jung's influence on a surprisingly vast transatlantic network of artists, writers, and thinkers. Jay Sherry sheds light on how this network grew and how Jung applied his unique view of the image-making capacity of the psyche to interpret such modernist icons as James Joyce and Pablo Picasso. His ambition to bridge the divide between the natural and human sciences resulted in a body of work that attracted a cohort of feminists and progressives involved in modern art, early childhood education, dance, and theater.

This is a study of the novel "El obsceno pajaro de la noche" from the perspective of Jung's analytical psychology. The author explores how Jose Donso utilized Jung's material to create his own literary version of that psychology. The novel is a structure of carefully connected multi-level images which to originate in the disturbed pysche of the protagonist and are shown to depict the Jungian concept of indivduation. The author demonstrates that the imagery derives from alchemy's prima materia, Mercurious, soluto. Sulphur/quicksilver, retort, sol/luna, together with alchemical referneces to mythology - all is critcisim on the novel. THe documentation also includes substansive material from the Hebrew Cabala and the Hindu Upanishads, parallel fields referred to by Jung and incorporated by Donso.

In the thirties Jung was at the height of his powers and found himself swept up in the international politics of his day. At this time he was president of what was to become the International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy. As a consequence of Hitler's rise, Jung and his ideas were placed in the centre of a whirlwind of theoretical and political controversy. These chaotic times led him to comment widely on political events and saw his most extensive attempt to explain these events in terms of his theories of the collective and his use of the archetype of Wotan to explain Nazi Germany. This work is part of the ongoing reappraisal of the intellectual fabric of Jung's theory and the perspective he sought to establish, and seeks to re-examine the period, to unravel some of the confusion by setting out the historical background of Jung's ideas, and provide a fresh debate on Jung and his collective theory.

• The summons: early and middle years' dreams and reflections on reality, consciousness, religion, and individuation
• Tension of the opposites: creative crossing; transformation through the I Ching
• Wholeness and transcendence: the circle comes round; mature dreams and reflections on the paradox of consciousness and individuation.

Frank N. McMillan Jr., a country boy steeped in the traditional culture of rural Texas, was summoned to a life-long quest for meaning by a dream lion he met in the night. On his journey, he followed the lead of the founder of analytical psychology, Carl Jung, and eventually established the world's first professorship to advance the study of that field.McMillan, born and raised on a ranch near Calvert, was an Aggie through and through, with degrees in geology and petroleum engineering. As an adult working near Bay City, Texas, he was lunching in a country cafe when by chance he met abstract expressionist painter Forrest Bess, who was ecstatically waving a letter he had received from Jung himself. The artist's enthusiastic description of Jung as a master psychologist, soul doctor, and healer led McMillan to the Jung Center in Houston, where he began reading Jung's Collected Works. McMillan frequently said, "Jung saved my life."Finding Jung: Frank N. McMillan Jr., a Life in Quest of the Lion captures McMillan's journey through the words of his own journals and through reflections by his son, Frank III. David Rosen, the holder of the first endowed McMillan professorship at Texas A&M University, adds insights to the book, and the late Sir Laurens van der Post, whom the elder McMillan met at the Houston Jung Center in 1979, authored a foreword to the book before his death.This is a story that sheds light on the inner workings of the self as well as the Jungian understanding of the Self. In often lyrical language, it gives the human background to a major undertaking in the dissemination of Jungian scholarship and provides a personal account of a life lived in near-mythic dimensions.
