Borges Reading Jung
Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges wrote as he read. He made note of important passages in his books to which he might refer later, listing page numbers and ideas in the endpaper pages. As director of the National Library of Argentina, he maintained this same practice with the library books that he read and returned to be reshelved. In 2017, librarians Laura Rosato and Germán Álvarez at the National Library of Argentina published Borges, libros y…
The possessions at Loudun
Embedded in the history of dissociation is the best known case of possession in European history, the 17 th century possessions at Loudun, France (1632‐1638). The exorcisms and the trial drew crowds from all over Europe, the outcome prefiguring the direction in which the Western science of mind would be carried. The published debate about the possessed and obsessed Ursuline nuns of Loudun spans four centuries. One can track how theorizing about d…
W. H. Auden's Use of Jung's Typology
During the years 1939–1945, W. H. Auden employed Jung's typology as a theoretical framework for his inquiry into the multi-vocal nature of poetic truth and the silencing of dialectic during wartime. This article criticizes Jungian interpretations that sacrifice a work of art to Jungian theorizing and demonstrates how to position a reading of Jung's Psychological Types in service of understanding Auden's The Age of Anxiety. In this light, Auden pr…

The epistemological significance of possession entering the DSM
The discourse of the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM reflects the inherently dialogic or contradictory nature of its stated mandate to demonstrate both ‘nosological completeness’ and cultural ‘inclusiveness’. Psychiatry employs the dialogic discourse of the DSM in a one-sided, positivistic manner by identifying what it considers universal mental disease entities stripped of their cultural context. In 1992 the editors of the Diagnostic and …
On Rereading John Boswell’s
In the context of contemporary political and religious events in America and the world, this article proposes a rereading of John Boswell’s 1994 book, Same-Sex Unions in Pre-modern Europe. A Jungian perspective evaluates and revalues Boswell’s work not so much in terms of its argument but of the images and narratives that Boswell unearthed, translated, and introduced into American collective consciousness
A Cree Woman Reads Jung
This article begins with Jung's description of two predicaments which confront the contemporary psychiatrist: 'the mystery of the patient's difference' and the danger of 'committing psychic murder in the name of therapy.' The article then presents the example of one suffering individual from within a non-Western culture who used Jung, as well as her Native culture's traditional knowledge, to find healing. This Cree woman, Yvonne Johnson, created …
