Analytical Psychology
The Jungian approach to analysis and psychotherapy has been undergoing an
extensive reconsideration during the past decade. Analytical Psychology calls
special attention to the areas which have been most impacted: the core con-
cepts and practices of the Jungian tradition, along with relevant intellectual
and historical background.
Internationally renowned authors drawing on the forefront of advances in
neuroscience, evolution, psychoanalysis, and philosophical and historical
studies, provide an overview of the most important aspects of these develop-
ments. Beginning with a chronicle of the history of the Jungian movement,
areas covered include:
(cid:127) A background to the notion of “archetype”.
(cid:127) Human development from a Jungian perspective.
(cid:127) A creative extension of Jung’s theory of psychological types.
(cid:127) Re-evaluation of traditional Jungian methods of treatment in the light of
contemporary scientific findings.
(cid:127) Jungian development of transference and countertransference.
(cid:127) A new formulation of synchronicity.
Analytical Psychology presents a unique opportunity to witness a school of
psychotherapy going through a renaissance. Drawing on original insights
from its founder, C.G. Jung, this book helps focus and shape the current state
of analytical psychology and points to areas for future exploration.
Joseph Cambray is the Honorary Secretary of the International Association
for Analytical Psychology and co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Analytical
Psychology.
Linda Carter is in private practice in Boston, MA and Providence, RI. She is
on the faculty of the C.G. Jung Institute of Boston, where she supervises and
teaches analysts in training.
