Book description
The latest addition to the Library of Analytical Psychology is an
outstanding collection of papers written by Jungian analysts from
different schools of analytical psychology on various aspects of
psychopathology. The subjects covered include depression, anorexia,
schizoid personality, narcissistic personality disorder, mania,
psychosis, paranoia, masochism, fetishism, transvestisism, perversion,
marital dysfunction, survivor syndrome, and old age. The contributors,
who include some of the most creative and distinguished clinicians in
the Jungian world today, are: Gustav Dreifuss, Alan Edwards, Michael
Fordham, C. T. Frey-Wehrlin, Rosemary Gordon, Judith Hubback, Peer
Hultberg, Mario Jacoby, Thomas Kirsch, Rushi Ledermann, Fred Plaut,
Joseph Redfearn, Nathan Schwartz-Salant, Eva Seligman, Anthony Storr,
Mary Williams and Luigi Zoja. The book is intended to appeal beyond the
Jungian community, and the editor's introductory remarks which precede
each paper highlight (and where necessary explain) concepts and
attitudes which seem special to analytical psychology. In this way, as
with Andrew Samuels' previous edited volume The Father: Contemporary
Jungian Perspectives, psychoanalytically and eclectically orientated
practitioners can make full use of this book.
