Book Description

"This fascinating new book explores the puella as an archetypal, symbolic, and personality figure reaching into the classical foundations of Jungian analytical psychology, focusing on the modern conflicts reverberating personally and culturally to remove the obstacles for accessing our more complete selves. Puella is youthful, charming, seductive and unfolds the creative, unusual wisdom of the feminine. Postmodern fluidity presents other realities, rethinking and reenacting the truth to oneself. If denigrated, psyche is halted from development, until addressed. The author employs a cross-disciplinary approach and clinical vignettes from narratives of real people from diverse backgrounds reflecting Jungian thought and treatment, along with other psychoanalytical perspectives for the unfolding of puella. Examining the puella as a key figure in psychological development within a diverse world, this book will be appeal to Jungian analysts, and also to mental health professionals of various paradigms interested in Jungian analytical and philosophical thought"--

Book Description

Jungian Perspectives on Rebirth and Renewal brings together an international selection of contributors on the themes of rebirth and renewal. With their emphasis on evolutionary ancestral memories, creation myths and dreams, the chapters in this collection explore the indigenous and primordial bases of these concepts. Presented in eight parts, the book elucidates the importance of indirect, associative, mythological thinking within Jungian psychology and the efficacy of working with images as symbols to access unconscious creative processes. Part I begins with a comparative study of the significance of the phoenix as symbol, including its image as Jung’s family crest. Part II focuses on Native American indigenous beliefs about the transformative power of nature. Part III examines synchronistic symbols as liminal place/space, where the relationship between the psyche and place enables a co-evolution of the psyche of the land. Part IV presents Jung’s travels in India and the spiritual influence of Indian indigenous beliefs had on his work. Part V expands on the rebirth of the feminine as a dynamic, independent force. Part VI analyses ancestral memories evoked by the phoenix image, exploring archetypal narratives of infancy. Part VII focuses on eco-psychological, synchronistic carriers of death, rebirth and renewal through mythic characterisations. Finally, part VIII explores the mythopoetic, visionary dimensions of rebirth and renewal that give literary expression to indigenous people/primordial psyche re-navigated through popular literature. The chapters both mirror and synchronise a rebirth of Jungian and non-Jungian academic interest in indigenous peoples, creation myths, oral traditions and narrative dialogue as the ‘primordial psyche’ worldwide, and the book includes one chapter supplemented by an online video. This collection will be inspiring reading for academics and students of analytical psychology, Jungian and post-Jungian studies and mythology, as well as analytical psychologists, Jungian analysts and Jungian psychotherapists.

Book Description

At least three major questions can be asked of myth: what is its subject matter? what is its origin? and what is its function? Theories of myth may differ on the answers they give to any of these questions, but more basically they may also differ on which of the questions they ask. C. G. Jung's theory is one of the few that purports to answer fully all three questions. This volume collects and organizes the key passages on myth by Jung himself and by some of the most prominent Jungian writers after him: Erich Neumann, Marie-Louise von Franz, and James Hillman. The book synthesizes the discovery of myth as a way of thinking, where it becomes a therapeutic tool providing an entrance to the unconscious. In the first selections, Jung begins to differentiate his theory from Freud's by asserting that there are fantasies and dreams of an "impersonal" nature that cannot be reduced to experiences in a person's past. Jung then asserts that the similarities among myths are the result of the projection of the collective rather than the personal unconscious onto the external world. Finally, he comes to the conclusion that myth originates and functions to satisfy the psychological need for contact with the unconscious--not merely to announce the existence of the unconscious, but to let us experience it.

Book Description

Though once repressed into the shadow of world consciousness, the archetypal Crone is re-emerging from the depths. Instead of the stereotyped Crone, who is present in our culture as the debased image of the wicked witch, the archetypal Crone is the multi-faceted Regeneratrix who ushers in the death necessary for new life. While women at midlife have begun to reclaim the Crone for their lives, this dissertation posits that the Crone can also be a powerful guide for adolescent girls as they transition toward womanhood. The initial challenge for girls is to individuate by discovering their unique identities in the world. However, many girls receive soul-wounds that may inhibit growth if internalized into complexes. Jungian analysts have addressed individuation for girls with parental complexes through the Puella Aeterna, or eternal girl, archetype. However, what theory exemplifies psychological growth for girls whose parents have not wounded them? What stories represent girls who are called by the Crone during this liminal stage of life? To answer these questions, this dissertation proposes the Puella Senilis, or Old Girl, theory as a pattern of development and source of archetypal energy. By first examining the Puella Aeterna as an inspiration and a foil, this study then explores the psychological progression of the Puella Senilis whose complex originates from a significant peer. In this pattern, the Crone leads the Puella Senilis girl forward on a transformative heroine0́9s journey in which she heals her wounds and embraces her authentic self. This dissertation utilizes Jungian concepts to provide a depth psychological understanding of girls0́9 growth toward womanhood. It also interprets mythology, fairy tales, and movies to illustrate fundamental aspects of Puella Aeterna and Puella Senilis girls0́9 development. While certain tales portray girls who succumb to their complexes, other narratives reveal the individuation process in which girls embrace their true identities. Lastly, by using the heuristic method, significant examples of the author0́9s life are interwoven to provide insight into the healing process.

Book Description

Arguing that American culture appeals to and is populated by children and adolescents who merely appear to be adult men and women, the essays in Perpetual Adolescence examine the Jungian archetype of the "eternal youth"—the puer aeternus—as it is manifested in the arrested development of American culture. From the infantilization of the American psyche and the lionization of teenaged celebrities and bodies, to fanatical conformity, and puerile entertainment, the contributors probe the various ways that American television, music, film, print, Internet, education, and social movements work to nourish and sustain this child archetype. Offering analytic psychology as an instrument of social analysis and critique, they point to the need for dialogue over the causes and effects of our puer-fixations, which have become, in large part, both a creation and a creator of the American zeitgeist.

Book Description

Archetype: A Natural History of the Self, first published in 1982 was a ground-breaking book; the first to explore the connections between Jung's archetypes and evolutionary disciplines such as ethology and sociobiology, and an excellent introduction to the archetypes in theory and practical application as well. C.G. Jung's 'archetypes of the collective unconscious' have traditionally remained the property of analytical psychology, and have commonly been dismissed as 'mystical' by scientists. But Jung himself described them as biological entities, which, if they exist at all, must be amenable to empirical study. In the work of Bowlby and Lorenz, and in recent studies of the bilateral brain, Dr Anthony Stevens has discovered the key to opening up this long-ignored scientific approach to the archetypes, originally envisaged by Jung himself. At last, in a creative leap made possible by the cross-fertilisation of several specialist disciplines, psychiatry can be integrated with psychology, with ethology and biology. The result is an immensely enriched science of human behaviour. In this revised, updated edition, Anthony Stevens considers the enormous cultural, social and intellectual changes that have taken place in the past 20 years, and includes: * An updated chapter on The Archetypal Masculine and Feminine, reflecting recent research findings and developments in the thinking of feminists * Commentary on the intrusion of neo-Darwinian thinking into psychology and psychiatry * Analysis of what has happened to the archetype in the past 20 years in terms of our understanding of it and our responses to it

Book Description

Does Jungian Psychology intrigue you, but you're not sure how to apply it to your life or therapeutic practice if you are a therapist? This book written by Theresa Bauer, LPC, CAC III and Elizabeth Cox, M.A. outlines theories and techniques developed by Charles Bebeau, Ph.D. of the Avalon Jungian Archetypal Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Dr. Bebeau developed his theory of the full maturation process of the individual through 12 archetypes and the alchemical process based on Carl lung's work. There are 24 color illustrations of the archetypes. Astrology is the oldest art practiced by ancient people, including the Hebrews. It was originally part of alchemy and studied extensively by Carl lung. Dr. Bebeau has refined this work and made it possibly to pick out your ruling archetypes using an astrological chart. We all have 4-5-6 ruling archetypes making us unique individuals. The last section of the book explains how to do this, but for the people who don't understand astrology or want to, it is possible to gain an understanding of the archetypes and alchemical process in the first 3 sections of the book. This book will help you gain an understanding of yourself and others.
