Esther Harding The Early Days - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Esther Harding The Early Days - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: That C. G. Jung was a giant among men must be obvious to all who have had even a slight acquaintance with the man or his writings, but for many today the beginnings of his work, reaching back to the turn of the century, must seem to grow out of a dim past.   …

Jay Dunn Prospects for C.G. Jung’s Psychology in the United States - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Jay Dunn Prospects for C.G. Jung’s Psychology in the United States - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: At first glance, the temper of the United States seems to stand in direct opposition to the basic tenets of analytical psychology.   American materialism, extraversion, and rationalism are antithetical to a psychology that attempts to probe the inner world of man.   One would expect a society that places value on the principle of …

Robert M. Stein Reflections on Jung’s Practice and Concepts - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Robert M. Stein Reflections on Jung’s Practice and Concepts - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: IT is not an easy task to answer the question of the most significant stimulus that I have derived from C. G. Jung, since he opened the door for me to an entirely new orientation toward my own being and toward the world.   I believe it was H. G. Wells who once said, ‘The …

Anneliese Aumuller Personal Stimulus of Jung - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Anneliese Aumuller Personal Stimulus of Jung - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: To be asked to write about the personal stimulus and effect Jung has had on my life seemed at first a very easy request to fulfill.   The more I think about it the more difficult it becomes; what should I select?   Jung’s influence has many dimensions-from the spoken word to the tremendous, subtle …

Alma A. Paulsen Origins of Analytical Psychology in the New York Area - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Alma A. Paulsen Origins of Analytical Psychology in the New York Area - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: The spade work for the development of analytical psychology in this part of the world was begun by a few doctors, who, in the early 1920s, had the courage to start practice as Jungian analysts long before there was any professional group or any written material other than Jung’s early writings.   It was their …

Margit Van Leight Frank Reflections on Spirit and Pseudo-Spirit - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Margit Van Leight Frank Reflections on Spirit and Pseudo-Spirit - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: When I was asked to contribute to this volume with a description of what constituted for me the greatest stimulus in Jung’s thought, I did not have a moment’s hesitation, because I felt the same enthusiasm which I felt when I first encountered Jung’s writing.   What came to mind immediately was the word ‘spirit’, …

Carl Jung Depth Psychology - Life, Work and Legacy of Carl Jung: Life, Work and Legacy of Carl Jung

Joseph B. Wheelwright: An Attempt at Appreciation - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Joseph B. Wheelwright: An Attempt at Appreciation - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: I first met Jung in 1931 At that time I was far more conversant with Freud. In fact, the only thing of Jung’s that I had read was his article in Keyserling’s symposium on marriage. But after a few minutes with him it was apparent to me that he was the man with whom …

Lucile Elliott Concerning Jung’s Influence in California - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Lucile Elliott Concerning Jung’s Influence in California - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: For me the heritage from Jung is a challenge.   With others who feel similarly, this challenge is for each of us to find his own way of growth into his own wholeness.   The implications of the challenge seem infinite. They include striving to know ourselves, to find our right place with reference to …

Carl Jung: Sigmund Freud in His Historical Setting - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Carl Jung:  Sigmund Freud in His Historical Setting  - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: It is always a delicate and dangerous task to place a living man in historical perspective.   But at least it is possible to gauge his significance and the extent to which he has been conditioned by history if his life-work and system of thought form a self-contained whole as do Freud’s.   His teaching, …

Marvin Spiegelman: Analytical Psychology in Los Angeles - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Marvin Spiegelman: Analytical Psychology in Los Angeles - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: A study of the genius loci of Los Angeles has yet to be written.   When it is, there will have to be included an explanation of the remarkable fact that the city, now one of the largest in the world, is still made up ( as it was among the original Indians who inhabited …

Joseph L. Henderson: C.G. Jung: A Personal Evaluation - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Joseph L. Henderson: C.G. Jung: A Personal Evaluation - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: Since I first met Jung thirty-two years ago I have been successively a patient, a student, a colleague, and a friend, so it was inevitable that the main stimulus of his psychology came to me as much through his personal influence as through his psychological concepts.   I know that there were facets of his …

E.V. Tenney: The Impact of Jung’s Ideas on American Universities - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

E.V. Tenney: The Impact of Jung’s Ideas on American Universities - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: Jung’s views have been presented occasionally in graduate programs of a few universities and colleges, and in courses which had to do with various points of view in depth psychology or personality.   Generally, however, his contributions have not been taken seriously in working out a final scientific attitude.   It is possible that a …

Margaret Collins: The Stimulus of Jung’s Concepts in Child Psychiatry - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Margaret Collins: The Stimulus of Jung’s Concepts in Child Psychiatry - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: Many of the contributors to this Memorial Volume will have known Jung personally; my tribute cannot recall any direct experiences, but I am very greatly indebted to him on two scores.   First, through analysis based on his principles my personal life has been immeasurably enriched and I have been enabled to work as a …

L. Stein: Language and Archetypes - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

L. Stein: Language and Archetypes - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: Any attempt to assess the value of Jung’s work by one who has used his ideas in his own professional life, and to a considerable extent based his professional outlook upon them, must consist in a revelation of the points at which Jung’s discoveries converged upon and illuminated certain professional questions, which ultimately can, …

Renee Brand: Thoughts About Realization - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Renee Brand:  Thoughts About Realization - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: Jung’s concept of psychic reality impressed me profoundly from the first and became central to my entire experience. If all our knowledge consists of the stuff of the psyche which, because it alone is immediate, is superlatively real (Jung, 1934, C. W., 8, p. 353); if far from being a material world, this is a …

James G. Whitney: A Personal Experience of Analytical Psychology - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

James G. Whitney: A Personal Experience of Analytical Psychology - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: My experience with analytical psychology has been unusual. I did not come to it by choice either professionally or personally. It was ‘thrust upon me’ by parents, both of whom were physicians and became analysts in the 1920s. From the age of six to eighteen I heard discussions of libido, archetype, animus, anima, thinking, feeling, …

Culver M. Barker:  In Memoriam of C.G. Jung - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: As A contribution to the symposium on aspects of C. G. Jung’s life and work which have a significant bearing on both the personal and professional level, I would like to speak about my own experience of what may be referred to as ‘relating to the centre’. Many years ago, when I was treating …

Jane Wheelwright: A Personal Experience - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Jane Wheelwright: A Personal Experience     - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: Jung’s attention was always riveted to the long-term development of the soul, many souls, generations of souls. The great stream of life seemed to be his absorbing interest. To illustrate: the question of the nationality of a young American woman came up years ago. Her first appointments were spent putting him straight as to what …

Carl Jung: The Problem of Types in Dream Interpretation - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Carl Jung:  The Problem of Types in Dream Interpretation - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: In all other branches of science, it is a legitimate procedure to apply an hypothesis to an impersonal object.   Psychology, however, inescapably confronts us with the living relationship between two individuals, neither of whom can be divested of his subjectivity or depersonalized in any way.   They can mutually agree to deal with a …

Carl Jung Review of Sadger: "Konrad Ferdinand Meyer." - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Carl Jung Review of Sadger: "Konrad Ferdinand Meyer." - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: The new art of writing biographies from the psychological point of view has already produced a number of moderately successful studies. One has only to think of Mobius on Goethe, Schopenhauer, Schumann, and Nietzsche, and Lange on Holderlin. Among these “pathographies,” Sadger’s book occupies an exceptional position. It does not stand out because of a …

Carl Jung: The significance of Freud’s Theory for Neurology and Psychiatry - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Carl Jung: The significance of Freud’s Theory for Neurology and Psychiatry - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: In medical terms, Freud’s achievements are on the whole limited to the fields of hysteria and obsessional neurosis.

According to this point of view, every physical symptom of a hysterical nature is causally …

Carl Jung Foreword to Custance: “Wisdom, Madness and Folly” - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Carl Jung Foreword to Custance: “Wisdom, Madness and Folly” - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: When I was working in 1906 on my book The Psychology of Dementia Praecox (as schizophrenia was then called), I never dreamt that in the succeeding half-century psychological investigation of the psychoses and their contents would make virtually no progress whatever. The dogma, or intellectual superstition, that only physical causes are valid still bars the …

Carl Jung On Dementia Praecox - Carl Jung Depth Psychology

Carl Jung On Dementia Praecox - Carl Jung Depth Psychology: The depotentiation of the association process or abaissement du niveau mental, which consequently has a downright dreamlike quality, seems to indicate that a pathogenic agent [Noxe] contributes to dementia praecox which is absent in, say, hysteria. The characteristics of the abaissement were assigned to the pathogenic agent, which was construed as organically conditioned and likened …
