The Jung Reader
Carl Gustav Jung was the pioneering founder of analytical psychology, a form of analysis that has revolutionised the approach to mental illness and the study of the mind. In this anthology, David Tacey brings together a selection of Jung's essays from his famous Collected Works. Divided into four parts, each with a brand new introduction, this book considers 17 of Jung’s most important papers covering: the nature of the psyche archetypes religion and culture therapy and healing. This accessible collection is essential reading for undergraduates on analytical psychology courses, those on psychotherapy training courses, and students studying symbolism and dreams, or archetypal approaches to literature, cinema, religious studies, sociology or philosophy. The text is an informative introduction for general readers as well as analysts and academics who want to learn more about C. G. Jung's contribution to psychoanalysis, and how his ideas are still extremely relevant in the world today.
The Chinese Reader's Manual
"The title Chinese Reader's Manual has been given to the following work in the belief that it will be found useful in the hands of students of Chinese literature, by elucidating in its First Part many of the personal and historical allusions, and some portion at least of the conventional phraseology, which unite to form one of the chief difficulties of the language; whilst in its remaining sections information of an equally essential nature is presented in a categorical shape. ... No European writer -- it is needless to observe -- can dispense with illustrations drawn from a multitude of earlier sources, and in even the most familiar language fragments of history and legend lie embedded, almost unperceived. What with ourselves, however, is at the most an exceptional feature, takes with the Chinese the character of a canon of literary art. Intricacies of allusion and quotation present themselves, consequently, at every turn in the written language ; to furnish a clue to some of which, and at the same time to bring together from various sources an epitome of historical and bio graphical details much needed by every student, have been the principal objects of the present work. ... [T]he author is encouraged to hope that his work may prove not wholly without use as a contribution to the general stock of knowledge of Chinese subjects, and as a help toward familiarity with a vast and important body of literature."--From the preface.
A Jungian Reading of Selected Poems of Seamus Heaney
This book offers an examination of Seamus Heaney's poetic volume, Opened Ground, placing it into dialogue with the major themes, terms and ideas of Jungian psychology. This work should appeal to scholars interested in Jungian psychology, Jungian readings of literature, and Irish poetry. Opened Ground, in which the poems are read in Jungian terms. Heaney had referred to himself as Jungian in religion and naturally used terms such as initiation, individuation and the unconscious in interviews and essays. Therefore, key Jungian terms are examined in relation to Heaney's poetic expression of these and explored through at least one poem from each of the collections represented in Opened Ground. This allows for an exploration of the creative tensions involved in the poet's presentation of personal, poetic and political concerns, while also allowing for further examination of the powerful physicality and musical qualities of the language in which he luxuriates.
