Jungian Psychology and the Human Sciences

This volume brings together selected papers from the 2021 IAJS conference focusing on Jungian psychology’s place within the broader human science field, with contributions providing an interdisciplinary examination of fields such as psychoanalysis, feminism, critical thought, and eco-psychology.

The historical foundations of Jungian thought in phenomenology, hermeneutics, the significance of imagination, and the body’s genetics open the book with outstanding essays from both renowned and aspiring new scholars. Chapters highlighting matters of current social, political, and ecological considerations shed light on the intersections between Jungian psychology and much contemporary thought in these fields. The healing process takes center stage in the last part of the book, which will interest readers involved with the broader psychotherapy field.

With rigorous and scholarly contributions from a variety of international figures in analytical psychology, this book will be of great interest to all Jungian and depth psychology scholars, students, and analysts in training, as well as readers in the broader human science psychology field interested in current Jungian psychology and phenomenology.
