    Arny and Amy Mindell on Process Oriented Psychology Interviewed by June Singer, Jung Institute Library Journal, Vol. 13, No. 4, 1995 Arny and Amy Mindell live in a house of uncertain vintage perched high on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. From the loft where they write, they face the wild waves that pound the shore. if, as Jung suggested, water represents the unconscious and land, consciousness, then the Mindells live on the very edge, where consciousness engages the unconscious in endless encounter that is occasionally gentle, always energetic, and often violent. There is no holding back, or holding in, that power. The Mindells choose to live with it, flow with it, follow its many moods. To get to their house in Yachats, Oregon, you ascend a narrow road that winds up a steep hill. It's the road that they take for their daily run. These two are clearly in vibrant physical condition, slim and tough as the trees that stand against the coastal winds. Arny speaks with a clarity and authority that is both modest and wise. Amy brings a softer tone, a certain lightness, a sparkling complement to Arny's intensity. When things get really difficult, Amy can always make Arny laugh. Arny is the creator and moving force behind the growing movement he founded, called Process Oriented Psychology." Amy is his partner in life and work which, for these two are inseparable. Sitting in their living room I felt free to ask questions that one doesn't usually put to a colleague. "Arny," I said, "I know that you were a training analyst at the Jung institute in Zurich for a long time, and I'm wondering how you came to do something there htat nobody else was doing: to work with the body as well as the psyche?" Arny: When I began to experiment with working with people who were physically ill and who were dying, working with their body experiences, I had to ask myself, Is this dream work or is it bodywork? That's the real Cartesian question.

Jung Institute of Colorado's library was founded in 2004 with a substantial gift from Irma Johnson-Budington and her husband, Bill Budington. They were well-known and influential members of the Jungian community in Colorado Springs. The collection was enlarged by donations from the personal collections of other prominent Colorado Jungians, such as Wallace and Jean Clift (co-founders, with Linda Leonard, of the Jung Society of Colorado in 1976) and Glen and Jean Carlson (analysts and Emeritus board members of our institute). We have also received donations of entire collections from other Jungian groups from across the country. The collection is housed within the offices of the C.G. Jung Institute of Colorado. It is available by appointment for in-house research and book loans to analysts, students of the institute, and members of the Jung Society of Colorado. Janis Page, who was a cataloging specialist for many years at the Auraria Library, professionally manages the library with the use of the Readerware database program. The library houses almost 2000 cataloged books, not counting multiple copies, which would add several hundred more to that total.

  • The Inner World of the First Half of Life: Analytical Psychology's Forgotten Developmental Stage
    This is an un-formatted version of an article published in Psychological Perspectives, 58(4), pages 399–415, 2015. Psychological Perspectives is available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00332925.2015.1092758 The Inner World of the First Half of Life: Analytical Psychology's Forgotten Developmental Stage Satya Doyle Byock The field of analytical psychology has largely ignored the developmental stage that Jung termed the “first half of life.” As a result, a great many individuals coming of age today, starving for guidance on how to live in relationship to their inner lives, find little that reflects them within the Jungian literature or community. This article addresses that issue, identifying some of the challenges that individuals in the first half of life face today, including the lack of traditional supports to guide their transition from childhood into adulthood, and the popularly termed “quarter-life crisis” that often marks this stage. This article also questions the assumptions within the field that tie individuation to the second half of life, and it explores the relationship with the inner world that is possible earlier in life. In his essay “Stages of Life,” C. G. Jung separated human psychological development into three stages: childhood, the first half of life, and the second half of life. Jung's clinical interest lay primarily in the final stage, beginning at the midlife transition, which he believed began around age 35 or 40 (1933, p. 100). The field of analytical psychology has maintained this focus on the second half of life since Jung's time, with an expanded focus on the stage of childhood.

    De zwembadmentaliteit Andreas Burnier bron Andreas Burnier, De zwembadmentaliteit. Em. Querido's Uitgeverij, Amsterdam 1979 (tweede druk) Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/burn001zwem01_01/colofon.htm © 2008 dbnl / erven Andreas Burnier 7 Verantwoording In de afgelopen jaren heb ik, op uitnodiging, een aantal lezingen gehouden en artikelen gepubliceerd die, achteraf bezien, een centraal thema bleken te hebben. Kennelijk beschikte ik nog steeds over de scholierenvaardigheid gewoon je eigen opstel te schrijven onder een van de titels die de leraar toevallig opgaf. Natuurlijk moest ik, net zoals vroeger met de leraar, ook nu wel enigszins rekening houden met mijn opdrachtgevers en toehoorders. Daarom gaan de hier gebundelde lezingen en artikelen soms over litteratuur, soms over dieptepsychologie, soms over cultuurfilosofie en soms over female liberation. In werkelijkheid cirkelen zij echter rond één kernthema dat mij kennelijk de afgelopen jaren bezighield: de menselijke bewustzijnsontwikkeling zoals die zich spiegelt in de cultuur, en vice versa. Bij herlezing van mijn beschouwingen vroeg ik mij af, of datgene wat ik in de ene context (bij voorbeeld) dominante cultuur versus tegencultuur noemde, in een andere context rationalisme versus irrationalisme, in nog een andere context bewustzijn versus onderbewuste, of masculinisme versus feminisme, wel of niet synoniemen zijn. Gaat het, eigenlijk, steeds over hetzelfde, of behandel ik verschillende aspecten van een centraal probleem? In het laatste geval: hoe zou dat centrale probleem dan moeten worden benoemd? Over deze vraag gaat ‘Van masculinistische naar humane wetenschap’. Andreas Burnier, De zwembadmentaliteit 8 Ik ben mij ervan bewust dat de polariteiten die in dit boek ter sprake komen in feite zo oud zijn als de cultuurgeschiedenis.

  • What Is Jungian Counseling? What Is Jungian Therapy? Jungian Therapy Is a Form of Psychotherapy Based on the Ideas and Methods of the Swiss Psychiatrist C
    What Is Jungian Counseling? What is Jungian therapy? Jungian therapy is a form of psychotherapy based on the ideas and methods of the Swiss psychiatrist C. G. Jung (1875-1961). It is a depth psychotherapy, in that it works with the unconscious and our relation to the unconscious. In analytical psychology (also called Jungian psychology) the unconscious is viewed not only as a place where unwanted thoughts, feelings and memories are repressed and stored (therefore later causing emotional difficulties), but also as a potential source of creativity, spirituality, healing and wisdom. The goal of Jungian therapy is to facilitate individuation, the becoming of the unique person one is meant to be. Psychological symptoms are viewed as a sign of something blocked or gone awry in this process. Who can benefit from Jungian therapy? Jungian therapy can help people struggling with a range of emotional problems, including depression and anxiety; it is especially suited to assisting anyone seeking personal growth. Analytical psychotherapy adapts to the needs and goals of the person. Therapy can be supportive to help through a challenging time, can be short-term to focus on a specific problem, or can be longer term to help with conflicts, to get rid of symptoms, to effect lasting change, and to find purpose, creativity and new possibilities. Because analytical psychology is a theory of adult development, Jungian therapy is especially appropriate for people who are in mid-life passage (also called mid-life crisis). How does Jungian counseling work? The therapist and patient work to increase the patient's awareness, in order to integrate rejected aspects of the patient and move toward wholeness.
