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: • A background to the notion of “archetype”. • Human development from a Jungian perspective. • A creative extension of Jung’s theory of psychological types. • Re-evaluation of traditional Jungian methods of treatment in the light of contemporary scientific findings. • Jungian development of transference and countertransference. • 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.
