Dreaming for the World
This project explores what dreams might reveal about the collective psyche’s response to the COVID‐19 pandemic in its first year, before the development of vaccines. A brief survey, distributed to Jungian colleagues and organizations, and to various social media sites, invited people to submit online a dream related to the COVID‐19 pandemic. Four hundred and thirty‐six dreams were submitted. Forty additional Russian dreams were collected and subm…
Descartes’ dualism and the phenomenological tradition
“The upright posture” revisited
Erwin Straus's paper, “The Upright Posture,” was published in the Psychiatric Quarterly in 1952, and stands, still upright, as perhaps the finest writing in what was known as philosophical anthropo
Jung’s Recollection of the Life-World
The self, the psyche and the world
This paper takes as its starting point Jung's definition of the self as the totality of the psyche. However, because the term psyche remains conceptually unclear the concept of the self as totality, origin and goal, even centre, remains vague. With reference to Heidegger's analysis of human being as Dasein, as well as Jung's writings, it is argued that Jung's concept of psyche is not a synonym for mind but is the world in which we live psychologi…
Pathways into the Jungian World
Humanistic sensibilities in the assessment of dementia patients
A humanistic sensibility in contemporary geropsychology is thematized and encouraged. Dementia, in which the brain loses its world‐gathering and functional capacities, is described phenomenologically as a disintegration of being‐in‐the‐world. The humanistic perspective encourages the discipline to approach the question of diagnosis holistically, especially with regard to an exploration of the context and meaning of features such as depression and…
Jung in the academy
It is argued that responsibility for academia's disdain for Jungian psychology needs to be accepted by the Jungian community to the extent that it remains unrelated to contemporary literature, academic concerns and modes of enquiry in the social sciences. Several illustrative examples are presented. Of special concern is that the most powerful marketing of the name of Jung comes from American publishing companies that produce New Age Jungian pop,…

Psychic Complexity and Human Existence
Merleau-Ponty's Conception of the Unconscious
In an attempt to fill the gap left by the widespread rejection of Freud's quasi-physiological metapsychology, the unconsciousness which Freud encountered is rearticulated in existential-phenomenological terms. It is argued that psychoanalysis and phenomenology converge in their attempt to understand the latent but operative meanings that structure human life. The unconscious is situated as an ambiguous, lived consciousness within the structure of…
