| ALCHEMY OF DISCOURSE : Image, Sound & Psyche [Paul Kugler] In recent years the function of language, narrative and text in psychic life has taken on increasing significance in depth psychology. "The Alchemy of Discourse" examines language in relation to psychic formation, beginning with the role played by images and words in the onset of subjectivity. Through a careful examination of Jung’s early word association experiments coupled with recent developments in Lacanian psychoanalysis, Dr Kugler offers a re-conceptualisation of the origin and function of the Jungian divided subject (ego/self). For those just beginning to explore the role of language in psychic life, this book provides an accessible entry point, with its clear explication of key terms together with their historical and conceptual background. The book will be a valuable resource for psychoanalysts, students and trainees in depth psychology, and for writers, critical theorists, philosophers and historians of ideas. { 141pp, 140x215mm, January 2002; PB, £13.99, 385630617X:9783856306175 , Daimon Verlag } |

| ARCHETYPAL SIGNIFICANCE OF GILGAMESH : A Modern Ancient Hero [Rivkah Schärf Kluger] It was at the instigation of C.G. Jung that Dr Kluger undertook the interpretation of the Gilgamesh Epic, the oldest known epic-myth. A classic in world literature, it originated in the Sumero-Babylonian culture, a vital root of modern Western civilisation. Rich in poetic imagery and archetypal content, it has not lost its meaning for modern man. In this book, based primarily on her seminars at the Zurich Jung Institute, Dr Kluger deals with the psychological significance of the hero-king’s fateful adventures, from his building of the city walls to his travel to the "Babylonian Noah" in search of immortality, for which her expertise in the fields of comparative religion and Jungian psychology uniquely fit her. In her vivid yet scholarly presentation, she brings alive the implications of the fascinating episodes of this myth both on a personal and on a collective level; the changes of individual consciousness, and its reactions to unconscious (archetypal) contents, the evolving process of individuation, and the development of religion. Using modern dreams and examples from analytic practice, she shows the relevance of this ancient myth for today’s world and its concerns, from sexuality and homosexuality, the role of the feminine and the still living goddess Ishtar, to the current spiritual search of contemporary mankind. { 238pp, 140x215mm, January 1991; PB, £14.99, 3856305238:9783856305239 , Daimon Verlag } |

| BATTLE OF SYMBOLS : Global Dynamics of Advertising, Entertainment & Media [John Fraim] Symbols increasingly dominate international communication. Their power was demonstrated by the events of 9/11 and the war against terrorism. Yet few understand them. Now, more than ever, it is important to understand symbols in a global context. In this book, John Fraim examines 9/11 in light of global symbolism. While the events of 9/11 represented the beginning of the war against terrorism, Fraim notes "the real 'battle of symbols’ started long before September 11th and will continue long after the fall of the Taliban regime or Saddam Hussein." The book observes the response of the American symbolism industry to the events of 9/11. As Fraim notes, the events of 9/11 offered a rare opportunity to observe how American symbols are created (by Madison Avenue advertising and Hollywood entertainment), communicated (by New York media) and managed (by Washington public relations). One of the more hopeful outcomes of 9/11 was the instigation of an international dialogue about the power of symbols. From this continuing dialogue America and the world have gained a new awareness of the growing power of symbols. Whether this awareness will lead to a new understanding of symbols on a national and global scale is one of the most important questions facing America (and the world) today. { 418pp, 140x210mm, January 2003; PB, £16.50, 385630620X:9783856306205 , Daimon Verlag } |
| BEARSKIN QUIVER : A Collection of Southwestern American Indian Folktales [Gregory McNamee (ed)] Once upon a time, an Apache story tells us, the trickster called Coyote killed a bear so that he could make a suitable quiver for his magical arrows. "You shouldn’t have done that", someone warned Coyote. "That skin will only bring you bad luck". And so it has been for Coyote ever since, chased by bears and humans alike. In this charming collection of folktales from long ago, we read of the creation of the world, of the ways of animals, of the beguiling Coyote, of the world in which we live and other worlds that hide just beyond our sight. Drawn from the oral literatures of some twenty South-western American Indian peoples, these stories teach us about the constants of those dry places: about how the clouds form in the sky, how the heat rises from the ground, how the animals move about from one shady spot to another, and how the people once lived their lives. All these stories show us -- as the great anthropologist, Claude Lévi-Strauss, observed -- that folktales are not mere afterthoughts of literature, just pleasant stories to tell around the campfire, but rather valuable tools for reflection upon our own lives. { 140pp, 140x215mm, January 2002; PB, £15.50, 3856306102:9783856306106 , Daimon Verlag } |
| BERLIN 1986 : The Archetype of Shadow in a Split World -- Tenth International Congress of Analytical Psychology: September 2-9 [Mary Ann Mattoon (ed)] The Tenth International Congress of Analytical Psychology was held in Berlin, 2-9 September 1986.

Many letters are reproduced including documents of great importance written to the author by Jung shortly before his death, explaining his ideas about the nature of the world and of his work. { 140pp, 140x215mm, January 1997; PB, £13.99, 3856305580:9783856305581 , Daimon Verlag } |
| CAMBRIDGE 2001 : Proceedings of the 15th International Congress for Analytical Psychology [M A Mattoon] The Fifteenth Triannual Congress of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) took place on the grounds of St. John’s College in Cambridge, England from 19 to 24 August 2001. It was a memorable occasion both in its preparation and its incarnation and the present volume is meant to preserve at least a portion of what transpired: the papers comprising the program. The presentations and events were more far-reaching and all-inclusive than ever before, incorporating numerous political and intercultural issues and including representatives from psychoanalysis and other fields of endeavour for the first time. { 768pp, 155x230mm, January 2003; PB, £30.50, 3856306099:9783856306090 , Daimon Verlag } |

A wide range of papers and presentations elucidated diverse approaches to the roles played by symbols in analysis, their relationships to one another and their beholders, and possibilities for transcendence. { 560pp, January 1993; PB, £20.50, 3856305386:9783856305383 / HB, £32.99, 3856305378:9783856305376 , Daimon Verlag } |
| CORPUS ALCHEMICUM ARABICUM : Book of the Explanation of the Symbols Kitab Hall ar-Rumuz [Muhammad Ibn Umail] The Corpus Arabicum Alchymicum (CALA) is editing and publishing a collection of key manuscripts on symbolic Arabic alchemy. The Arabic text is always accompanied by a parallel English translation. In order to improve the understanding of the spiritual side of alchemy, each edited volume is followed by one or more commentaries. Volume I of CALA presents the first edition of Hall ar-Rumuz (Explanation of the Symbols). It was written by Muhammad Ibn Umail (10th century), one of the most important representatives of the symbolic branch of alchemy. In later Latin alchemy he is known under the name, Senior. Ibn Umail’s description of the alchemical work is a symbolic rendering of his experience of an inner-psychic process of transformation that he considered as being the highest goal in human life. Due to his extremely introverted lifestyle and his devoted focus toward the inner world, Ibn Umail was able to observe and describe this mysterious process with the "substantial symbols", emerging out of the depth of his psyche. Ibn Umail’s symbolic attitude facilitates a kind of inter-confessionalism: he states in Hall ar-Rumuz that "the result of the alchemical work can be produced by a person from any religion". The psychic transformation achieved by the work leads to the stone, a symbol for the solidified divine kernel of an individual. This center also has a collective dimension. Thus Ibn Umail also names the stone "mosque" or "temple". His work connects and bridges the Ancient Egyptian quest for immortality directly with later Latin alchemy and the modern depth psychology of C.G. Jung with its aim of creating spiritual gold: consciousness. Ibn Umail’s work thus constitutes an important cultural link in the history of the spiritual aspect of alchemy. { 200pp, 155x230mm, January 2003; HB, £20.99, 3952260819:9783952260814 , Daimon Verlag } |
| CORPUS ALCHEMICUM ARABICUM VOL 1A : Book of the Explantion of the Symbols Kitab Hall ar-Rumuz by Muhammad ibn Umail -- Psychological Commentary by Marie-Louise von Franz [Theodor Abt (ed)] This is the last manuscript of Dr Marie-Louise von Franz, dictated during the final years of her life. If not only contains a brilliant historical survey of alchemy since Egyptian times, but above all, a profound comment on a newly translated Arabic alchemical text from the 10th Century which is a 'Summa' of her entire life's experience and work. { 241pp, 155x230mm, January 2007; HB, £16.99, 3952260835:9783952260838 , Daimon Verlag (Living Human Heritage Publications) } |

| DEPTH PSYCHOLOGY, 2ND EDITION : Meditations in the Field [Dennis Patrick Slattery PhD & Lionel Corbett MD] Developed in the spirit of C G Jung, and extended by the work of James Hillman, 'Depth Psychology: Meditations in the Field' grows directly from the soil of the Romantic Movement of the 19th century. { 273pp, 140x215mm, October 2004; PB, £13.99, 385630701X:9783856307011 , Daimon Verlag } |
| DREAM CHILD : Creation & New Life in Dreams of Pregnant Women [Regina Abt, Irmgard Bosch & Vivienne MacKrell] The broad scope of the dream material analysed in this book allows the authors to touch upon many subjects associated with the nature of the psyche, not only those relevant to pregnant women. The careful interpretation of the amplificatory material drawn from a wide range of cultures also makes this an inspiring aid for the understanding of dreams, valuable to psychologists, doctors, midwives or anyone else interested in this human subject. { 478pp, 185x255mm, April 2006; HB, £29.99, 3856305920:9783856305925 , Daimon Verlag } |
| DREAMS, MYTHS & FAIRY TALES IN JAPAN [Hayao Kawai] Japanese culture insightfully, exploring the depths of the psyche from both Eastern and Western perspectives, an endeavour the author is uniquely suited to undertake. This volume is based upon five lectures originally delivered at the prestigious round-table Eranos Conferences in Ascona, Switzerland. Readers interested in Japanese myth and religion, comparative cultural studies, depth psychology or clinical psychology will all find Professor Kawai’s offerings to be remarkably insightful while at the same time practical for their own daily work. { 160pp, 140x215mm, January 1995; PB, £13.99, 3856305440:9783856305444 , Daimon Verlag } |
| DRUGS, ADDICTION & INITIATION : The Modern Search for Ritual [Luigi Zoja; Foreword by Adolf Guggenbühl-Craig] Luigi Zoja argues that the pervasive abuse of drugs in our society can in large part be ascribed to a resurgence of the collective need for initiation and initiatory structures: a longing for something sacred underlies our culture's manic drive toward excessive consumption. In a society without ritual, the drug addict seeks not so much the thrill of a high as the satisfaction of an inner need for a participation mystique in the dominant religion of our times: consumerism. { 133pp, 155x230mm, January 2000; PB, £14.50, 3856305955:9783856305956 , Daimon Verlag } |
| DUINO ELEGIES [Rainer Maria Rilke] The "Duino Elegies" are one of the twentieth century’s great works of art. In the space of ten elegies, presented here in a bilingual edition, an impassioned monologue struggles to find an individual answer to what it means to be human in a world torn by modern consciousness. In his introduction, David Oswald writes, "Rilke’s poetry shows an unusual sensitivity to inner experience and to the symbolic processes of the psyche, two things that are important to me in my work as a Jungian analyst. His carefully crafted language conveys the movements of this otherwise 'unspeakable' realm and addresses the issues of finding the proper relationship to it. My goal has been to create a translation that preserves this sensitivity and precision... What are we? The Elegies seek a measure of humanness that is positive in form, one that goes beyond the painful recognition that we are neither totally natural in the way that animals are, nor totally transcendent as angels are. The emphasis on ‘are’ comes from the despair over the split of consciousness that hangs us ‘between current and stone,’ between the flow of our inner experience and the rigidity of our interpreted world, thus making it impossible for us to be ‘something one’ or something that remains constant. To be an 'I' means to be constantly caught between the polarities of the night and the day world, of animal and angel, of man and woman, of sexuality and spirituality, of hero and lover, of inner and outer world, of life and death, and never to be at one with any of it. The "Duino Elegies" do not overcome or eliminate this lament, but the cycle tries to give meaning to the split by giving consciousness a direction towards 'the open'." { 128pp, 140x215mm, January 1997; HB, £13.99, 3856305416:9783856305413 , Daimon Verlag } |
| EGYPTIAN AMDUAT : The Book of the Hidden Chamber [Erik Hornung & Theodor Abt (eds)] In the Amduat, the night-journey of the Egyptian Sungod is divided into twelve hours, each of them containing an enormous amount of insight into the human psyche. The entire Amduat could be called the first 'scientific publication' of humankind describing or mapping the dangers, but also the regenerative capabilities of the night-world, providing answers to basic human questions. The synopsis of the different scenes of the Amduat, all in colour, together with its explaining text, is unique. This book is a treasure for all those who want to explore the archetypal structure of the objective psyche, with its helpful but also with its dangerous forces. { 446pp, 155x230mm, January 2007; HB, £32.50, 3952260843:9783952260845 , Daimon Verlag (Living Human Heritage Publications) } |
| ESSAYS OF ANALYTICAL PSYCHOLOGY [Toni Wolff] The woman at Jung's side and ear was undisputably unique, creative and original. But her written works rarely made it into print. Why was that?

| FEMALE ANCESTORS OF CHRIST [Ann Belford Ulanov] The spiritual power of the Feminine shines forth in this psychological study of four Old Testament heroines from Jesus’ family tree. Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba are the only women mentioned by name in the Gospels’ genealogies and, for Ann Belford Ulanov, this indicates that they impart something essential to the lineage of Christ. By exploring their brave and unconventional lives, she demonstrates how salvation enters the world in the feminine mode of being human, through these women’s embodiment of such powerful and deeply feminine qualities as ingenuity, audacity, determination, compassion, seduction, and devotion. { 131pp, 140x215mm, December 2006; PB, £14.50, 3856307052:9783856307059 , Daimon Verlag } |
| FLORENCE 98 : Destruction & Creation -- Personal & Cultural Transformations (Proceedings of the 14th International Congress for Analytical Psychology, Florence 1998) [Mary Ann Mattoon (ed)] The 14th Congress for Analytical Psychology was held 23-28 August 1998 in the ancient city of Florence, Italy. The theme, 'Destruction and Creation: Personal and Cultural Transformations', is especially appropriate to the Italian setting, with that nation’s history of destruction, both from nature and from human activity, and its tradition -- especially in Florence -- of creative individuals and institutions. The theme is fitting, also, to the context of Jungian psychology, with its emphasis on these and other pairs of opposites, with their integral role in psychic wholeness. Acknowledging, also, that destruction is indispensable to creation, some Jungians prefer the term 'creative unconscious' to the traditional 'collective unconscious'. { 617pp, 140x215mm, January 1999; PB, £22.50, 3856305831:9783856305833 / HB, £32.99, 385630584X:9783856305840 , Daimon Verlag } |
| FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE : A Psychological Approach to His Life & Work [Liliane Frey-Rohn] Jungian psychologist Liliane Frey-Rohn describes the psychological factors that brought Nietzsche into the depths of his own nature through a process in which sacrifice, loss and intense loneliness alternated with hero worship and "audacious self-glorification". In this book, a number of human problems are explored and discussed in relation to the brilliant but haunted biography of the 19th century philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. The problem of good and evil, the search for personal truth, the questions of nihilism and life’s meaning, and the dangers of self-inflation in the wake of religious experience are each considered in this in-depth psychological analysis. The author sheds new light on Nietzsche’s extraordinary life and work, illuminating many aspects of his personal spiritual struggle, while providing insights into some of the most basic and problematic questions that confront us all. { 305pp, 140x215mm, January 1988; PB, £15.99, 3856305076:9783856305079 , Daimon Verlag } |
| FROM THE LIFE & WORK C G JUNG [Aniela Jaffé] Aniela Jaffé was given permission to quote from Jung's highly personal 'Red Book', and she does so in her essay on Jung's creative phases. Shortly before her death, the author also updated and expanded her long-famous article addressing the National Socialism accusations levelled against Jung. Sir Laurens van der Post provides a sharp echo in his Epilogue, written especially for this edition. { 188pp, 140x215mm, January 1989; PB, £14.50, 3856305157:9783856305154 , Daimon Verlag } |
| GIRL WHO MADE STARS : and Other Bushman Stories [Wilhelm Bleek & Lucy C Lloyd] These beautiful and timeless stories from the African Bush were gathered more than a century ago and have touched thousands of readers ever since. The South African-born author, Sir Laurens van der Post, revered them and helped to make them known throughout the world. For this special new edition, Gregory McNamee has adapted the original nineteenth-century English translations to create modern versions of the stories for readers without a prior knowledge of the Bushman ways of life. The stories carry universal observations and truths and, with their historical and ethnographic roots in the African Bushman culture, they are fascinating and educational for readers and listeners of all ages. They bear powerful testimony to a desert people living at one with Nature. { 72pp, 140x215mm, January 2001; PB, £15.50, 3856305998:9783856305994 , Daimon Verlag } |
| GRAVITY & LEVITY : The Philosophy of Paradox [Alan McGlashan] As the title suggests, this book addresses its subjects with wit and with weight, as the author brings the latest insights of contemporary physics into the perspective of an everyday life that is shown to be full of paradox. We can only come to terms with life if we accept that there are no final answers, and that unconscious processes are just as relevant as conscious ones. Reality cannot be anything but paradoxical, and our attitude to this fact has much to do with our state of being. { 164pp, 140x215mm, January 1994; PB, £14.50, 3856305483:9783856305482 , Daimon Verlag } |
| GREAT VISION OF MUHAMMED IBN UMAIL [Theodor Abt] The discovery of this 14th Century manuscript along with a unique image enables us to have a new understanding of the tremendous vision of Mohammad Ibn Umail, often referred to in Latin Alchemy as 'Senior'. Ibn Umail devoted himself to this vision for many years, which led him to deep insights into the polarity of the possibilities of the human psyche. In Aurora Consurgens, Senior is frequently quoted, which inspired Marie-Louise von Franz to study Arabic Alchemy. { 44pp, 145x210mm, September 2007; PB, £8.50, 3856306382:9783856306380 , Daimon Verlag } |
| HANDS : Aspects of Opposition & Complementarity in Archetypal Chirology [Yael Haft-Pomrock] Psychochirology -- the study of personality structure by means of reading the hands -- can reveal the present psychological situation, parental characteristics and influences, inherent and acquired patterns of behaviour and capabilities, inner conflicts of all natures and their potential for integration, as well as possibilities for growth. Each finger and mount portrays a different masculine and feminine archetypal figure, and they are always in flux. Getting to know them becomes a means of self-awareness, and in a therapeutic setting can also be a diagnostic tool. The hand holds our individual myth like a personal key: how can knowledge of this key lead to our own transformation? { 174pp, 140x215mm, January 1992; PB, £14.99, 385630536X:9783856305369 , Daimon Verlag } |
| HEALING DREAM & RITUAL : Ancient Incubation & Modern Psychotherapy [Professor C A Meier] C. A. Meier investigates the ancient Greek understanding of dreams and dreaming, Antique incubation and concomitant rituals. In this greatly expanded version of his classic work, "Ancient Incubation and Modern Psychotherapy" Meier compares Asklepian divine medicine with our own contemporary psychotherapeutic approaches to dreaming. He elucidates how the healing cure was found in the very core of illness itself -- a fact of invaluable significance today in both medicine and psychology. In helping us to recognise the suprapersonal aspects of illness, the dream is shown to reveal a transcendental path to healing. { 160pp, 140x215mm, January 2003; PB, £15.99, 3856306293:9783856306298 , Daimon Verlag } |
| HEALING IMAGINATION : The Meeting of Psyche & Soul [Ann & Barry Ulanov] This eloquent work speaks of the centrality of imagination in the life of the spirit. The authors describe the imagination as a bridge between the psyche and the spirit. Using rich imagery drawn from literature, film, and their own experience as therapists, they unlock for us the healing power of our imagination. "Imagination heals by building a bridge sturdy enough to link us up, each of us, to the river of being already present in us, to the currents flowing through us and among us in our unconscious life." { 185pp, 140x215mm, January 1999; PB, £14.50, 3856305912:9783856305918 , Daimon Verlag } |
| HERMES & HIS CHILDREN, 3RD EDITION [Rafael López-Pedraza] A classic among therapists, poets, artists and readers of many callings. Rafael López-Pedraza approaches the soul through myth, pathology, image and the very living of them all.

| HOW DREAMS HELP [Harry Wilmer] "Growing numbers of people are fascinated by the dream world. From psychological scholars and analysts to spontaneous groups and cults, the dream has a compelling voice. … I make the point in this book that our dreams are our most creative inner source of wisdom and hope. … The criterion for selection is simply that each one illustrates a common human life experience that all readers have had or are likely to have." -- From the Introduction by the Author { 188pp, 140x215mm, January 1999; PB, £14.99, 3856305823:9783856305826 , Daimon Verlag } |
| IMAGES, MEANINGS & CONNECTIONS : Essays in Memory of Susan R Bach [Ralph Goldstein (ed)] The title of this book reflects the main themes from 50 years of Susan Bach’s analytical work with spontaneous pictures and in her 'blue room'. In working with spontaneous pictures and drawings, she perceived the expression of deep connections between psyche and soma and learned that 'it knows within us' when either healing or death is imminent. Talking with Susan Bach about her work was inspiring and humbling and, drinking coffee as only she could make it, one felt deeply privileged to be studying with someone who brought so much intuition and intellectual understanding to the contemplation of the human psyche. The humbling part of the conversation came from wondering how to move one's own work towards the paths she was opening up. The purpose of this collection of essays is to show how the work of connecting and finding meaning continues and advances, whether through pictures, objects, dreams or other images and myths. The contributors have in common both a Jungian background and their having made distinguished contributions in their own specialities. { 190pp, 200x240mm, January 1999; PB, £18.50, 3856305866:9783856305864 , Daimon Verlag } |
| IMPRINTS OF THE FUTURE : Politics & Individuation in Our Time [George Czuczka; Foreword by Ann B Ulanov] "Few books address the political scene by focusing on its underlying psychodynamics, which some of us see as a major need. The author of this book does so with particularly apt attention to the future, its perils and its possibilities." -- from the foreword by Ann B Ulanov. { 112pp, 140x215mm, January 1987; PB, £5.50, 3856305130:9783856305130 , Daimon Verlag } |
| INDIAN MIRROR : The Making of the Brazilian Soul [Roberto Gambini] "As the Missionaries have already been sufficiently honoured and have enjoyed all the chances to tell their side of the story. I would like to say a few words on behalf of the Indians." -- From the letters written by the Priests of the Society of Jesus in the sixteenth century, describing how they saw the early inhabitants of Brazil, Dr Gambini builds an in-depth analysis of the making of the Brazilian soul. He discusses the projection of the Christian 'shadow' on the early Brazilian Natives and the resulting destruction of the Indian 'soul'. { 192pp, 220x260mm, April 2006; HB, £36.50, 8585554134:9788585554132 , Daimon Verlag } |
| INTRODUCTION TO PICTURE INTERPRETATION : According to C G Jung [Theodor Abt] This is the long-awaited book by Theodor Abt, who has been training analysts internationally in the art of picture interpretation since 30 years. His long experience in this field has led him to develop his own method, resulting in this book.

| JUNG'S APPRENTICE : A Biography of Helton Godwin Baynes [Diana Baynes Jansen] Dr Helton Godwin Baynes was C.G. Jung’s medical assistant in Zurich, becoming the eminent psychiatrist’s close friend and confidante. Baynes introduced Jungian psychology to Britain and led the English Jungian community for twenty years. He started the Jungian Analytical Psychology Club in London (APC) and laid the foundations for a Jungian Medical Society with the three aims of providing therapy, education and research. Baynes was the author of the first two major Jungian books to be written in English: "Mythology of the Soul" and "Germany Possessed", and together with his second wife, Cary, he translated all of Jung’s earlier writings into English. He arranged for Jung to visit England to lecture at the Tavistock Clinic, at the AP Club, to the medical students at Barts Hospital, and at Oxford University. Baynes brought a greater psychological awareness to war-time Britain in his lectures throughout the UK and his religious broadcasts with Archbishop Temple. He was a giant personality. At Cambridge he read medicine; he rowed twice in the boat race and was an outstanding singer. He counted among his friends many of the leading writers, poets, musicians and thinkers of his day. He was a central figure in the avant-garde circles surrounding Rupert Brooke and Arnold Bax. Included in this fascinating account of a charismatic and larger than life personality, there is previously unpublished material from Baynes' journals relating to his analysis with Jung as well as previously unpublished correspondence between Baynes and Jung. In the words of the composer Arnold Bax, Baynes was 'the most all-round man of his generation'. { 348pp, 155x230mm, January 2003; HB, £25.50, 3856306269:9783856306267 , Daimon Verlag } |
| JUNG, MY MOTHER & I : The Analytic Diaries of Catharine Rush Cabot [Jane Cabot Reid (ed)] The psychoanalytic writings of Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) are well-known and biographies of every hue have been published. But what was Jung like in his workaday analytic sessions, and how did he interact with his clients, colleagues and friends on a daily basis? Catharine (Katy) Cabot, an American in Europe, was a patient of Jung's and also a part of his Zürich circle from the 1930's through the 1940's and she recorded the details of her sessions with him along with other inner and outer events. "Onkel" (Uncle), as Jung became to her, and his family and his friends, all were a part of her life in those years. { 624pp, 165x240mm, January 2001; HB, £32.50, 3856306013:9783856306014 , Daimon Verlag } |
| JUNGIAN PERSPECTIVES ON CLINICAL SUPERVISION [Paul Kugler (ed)] The role of supervision in the training of clinical psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts has in recent years taken on increasing importance. Even though supervision has long been an essential part of the training of psychotherapists, remarkably little was written on the subject until ten years ago. This volume addresses the need for more open discussion of the various facets of supervision and the training of analytic candidates with chapters by leaders in the field on elaborating technique, elucidating transference and counter-transference issues, proposing direction and focus to clinical inquiry, suggesting dynamic and archetypal formulations of the analytic process, and exploring repetitive patterns of behaviour, thought, and fantasy. This collection embodies an essential reference source for supervising psychoanalysts and therapists, as well as training candidates, graduate students in social work and clinical psychology, and psychiatry residents. { 265pp, 140x215mm, January 1991; PB, £20.99, 3856305521:9783856305529 , Daimon Verlag } |
| JUNGIAN PSYCHIATRY [Heinrich Karl Fierz] C G Jung spent the first ten years of his career working in a psychiatric clinic, an experience which had a powerful influence on his lifelong endeavours. Now the psychiatric-analytic observations of a highly respected Jungian, the Swiss Heinrich Fierz, who devoted his life to psychiatry, are available in English at last. "Jungian Psychiatry" is rich with the insights of a rare therapist and teacher in the world of the psychiatric clinic. { 424pp, 140x215mm, January 1991; PB, £15.99, 3856305211:9783856305215 , Daimon Verlag } |
| JUNGIAN REFLECTIONS ON SEPTEMBER 11 : A Global Nightmare [Luigi Zoja & Donald Williams] Throughout history, wars and other catastrophes have produce mass destruction far greater than what occurred in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on New York and Washington. Yet seldom has such a pervasive and all-encompassing shock been felt with the brutal and unprecedented '911'. Along with the tragic aspects, what might this 'global nightmare' have to say to us? What is there for us to acknowledge and what old and new wounds have been opened? What sort of a legacy has been left behind? These big questions and many more fact us now in the aftermath. In this book, the highly complex incident of 911 is circled and examined from many angles by a variety of writers who all share a wide experience in depth psychology. What might a psychotherapist perceive in this eruption of tragic contents? { 218pp, 140x210mm, January 2002; PB, £14.99, 3856306196:9783856306199 , Daimon Verlag } |
| KNOWLEDGE FOR THE AFTERLIFE : The Egyptian Amduat -- A Quest for Immortality [Theodor Abt & Erik Horung] Why the Amduat is significant -- every evening the sun becomes old and weak and finally sets behind the Western horizon. Yet, it rises again in the morning, rejuvenated. How is that possible? How could the sun for the Ancient Egyptians the Sun God become young and revitalised during the night, during his night journey? What happens during this time? The Amduat is a description of the journey of the Sun God through the night world, that is also the world of the deceased. The knowledge contained in the Amduat is meant for the dead Pharaoh. But the text also recommends this knowledge for living beings. Thus, the journey of the Sun God can also be seen as a symbolic representation of an inner psychic process of transformation and renewal. { 154pp, 145x210mm, January 2003; HB, £20.99, 3952260800:9783952260807 , Daimon Verlag (Living Human Heritage Publications) } |
| LEARNING FROM DREAMS [Marion Rauscher Gallbach] Dreams have profound implications for the physical and spiritual realm, for the body as well as for the psyche. The innovative dream-work procedures developed in this book are instruments that help illuminate such connections, allowing for symbolic elaboration of psychosomatic symptoms that favour their transformation and resolution. The procedures of Dream Processing, Body-Active-Imagination and Contemplative Dream Experience are described and investigated and illustrated with manifold examples. They are valuable tools for the therapeutic professional and for any of us wishing to interact with dreams to harmonise with the profound process that orients us to the path of our lives. "Learning from Dreams" is the result of many years of research within Dream-Experience-Groups. This Jungian dreamwork methodology broadens the traditional individual setting and offers new perspectives for the professional practice and theory. { 234pp, 140x210mm, March 2006; PB, £19.50, 3856307036:9783856307035 , Daimon Verlag } |
| LIFE PAINTS ITS OWN SPAN : On the Significance of Spontaneous Pictures by Severly Ill Children [Susan Bach] This pioneering work is a comprehensive exposition of Susan Bach's original approach to the physical and psychospiritual evaluation of spontaneous paintings and drawings by severely ill patients.

| LILITH : The First Eve -- Historical & Psychological Aspects of the Dark Feminine: 2nd Edition [Dr Siegmund Hurwitz] In a fascinating excursion through the history of her myth, Siegmund Hurwitz presents and interprets the ancient dark-winged goddess Lilith, also known as 'the first Eve'. The author's extraordinarily meticu-lous study of the original sources brings to light a striking figure long lost from our awareness, yet highly relevant to a psychological under-standing of today's evolving mascu-line and feminine identities. Case material from his analytical practice imbeds Lilith in the every-day problems of contemporary life. { 262pp, 140x215mm, May 2004; PB, £15.99, 3856305777:9783856305772 , Daimon Verlag } |

| LIVING AT THE EDGE OF CHAOS : Complex Systems in Culture & Psyche [Helene Shulman] Helene Shulman integrates experiences of synchronicity, altered states of consciousness, trance, ritual, Buddhist meditation practice and creativity into a broad perspective on cross-cultural psychology. What emerges is a comprehensive way to understand psychological illness and healing as a perpetual work-in-progress near "the edge of chaos," where the seeds for new models of reality lie. With mental illness as the focus, she leads us on a fascinating interdisciplinary exploration, linking such areas as cultural studies, anthropology, evolutionary science and new work in mathematics and computer science -- known as complexity theory -- to Jungian psychology. A new paradigm for post-modern psychology emerges as the author presents a dynamic theoretical model containing rational and irrational aspects of individual and collective life. { 252pp, 155x235mm, January 1997; PB, £15.99, 3856305610:9783856305611 , Daimon Verlag } |

| MEETINGS WITH JUNG : Conversations Recorded During the Years, 1946-1961 [E A Bennet] In this collection of diary entries made by British psychiatrist E A Bennet during his visits with the Swiss analyst C.G. Jung over a 15-year period, Bennet's colourfully spontaneous accounts reveal Jung's down-to-earth personality and his extraordinary mind, at ease in his daily surroundings. Meetings with Jung serves as an ideal introduction to Jungian psychology while providing a rare, intimate perspective into Jung's life and work for those already familiar with the more scholarly literature. { 125pp, 140x215mm, January 1985; PB, £10.99, 3856305017:9783856305017 , Daimon Verlag } |
| MYTH & MEANING IN THE WORK OF C G JUNG [Aniela Jaffé] Aniela Jaffé explores the subjective world of inner experience. In so doing, she follows the path of the pioneering Swiss psychologist C G Jung, whose collaborator and friend she was through the final decades of his life. Jaffé shows that any search of meaning ultimately leads to the inner 'mythical' realm and must be understood as a limited subjective attempt to answer the unanswerable. Any conclusion drawn from such a quest is one's very own -- its formulation is one's own myth. { 186pp, 135x210mm, January 1984; PB, £13.99, 3856305009:9783856305000 , Daimon Verlag } |
| NORTH WIND & THE SUN : and Other Fables of Aesop [Gregory McNamee] For 2,500 years, adults and children alike have been listening to the stories of Aesop. Originating in the folk wisdom of rural Asia Minor, these popular fables have been retold, repurposed, and altered over the centuries; in the process, they have sometimes been changed so much that they bear little resemblance to their simple forebears, which ask their listeners and readers to think for themselves, to supply their own conclusions. In this collection, Gregory McNamee draws on the Greek originals to provide Aesop's fables in a form that Aesop himself might recognise -- ones in which fleas and foxes converse, people sometimes learn from their errors, and things are not always what they seem. { 107pp, 150x205mm, August 2004; PB, £15.50, 3856306366:9783856306366 , Daimon Verlag } |
| PARIS 89 : Personal & Archetypal Dynamics in the Analytical Relationship -- Proceedings of the 11th International Congress for Analytical Psychology August 28 to September 2 1989 [Mary Ann Mattoon (ed)] The 11th International Congress for Analytical Psychology was held in Paris from 28 August to 2 September 1989. It is no surprise that the theme of 'Personal and Archetypal Dynamics in the Analytical Relationship' succeeded in drawing widely varying and controversial responses. More than ever before the fifty-five contributors of papers represent Jungian groups from around the globe in every sense. However, while differences of approach are evident throughout this fascinating collection, so too is an ever more significant sense of synthesis: in the end we all share a common task. { 529pp, 135x205mm, January 1991; PB, £20.50, 3856305246:9783856305246 / HB, £32.99, 3856305297:9783856305291 , Daimon Verlag } |
| PERSONALITY : The Individation Process in the Light of C G Jung's Typology [Carl Alfred Meier] The world-famous psychiatrist and pioneer of the unconscious, Carl Gustav Jung, never produced a systematic treatment of his own work -- he was always moving forward. And so it became the life-task of his assistant-of-many-decades, Carl Alfred Meier, to gather and present in detail the various aspects of his far-reaching discoveries. This final volume of Meier’s work addresses the human personality in its encounters between consciousness and the unconscious, a process referred to as individuation. In describing such encounters, the author extensively explains the idea of Jung’s psychological types. { 189pp, 155x230mm, January 1995; PB, £14.99, 3856305491:9783856305499 / HB, £16.99, 3856305513:9783856305512 , Daimon Verlag } |
| PICTURING GOD [Ann Belford Ulanov] Demonstrates the importance of confronting our unconscious selves and allowing our images of God -- both positive and negative -- to surface. Such inner exploration reveals not only relevant insights about ourselves, but also pulls us beyond our private pictures of God toward a truer view of the living God. The book shows us how to explore our unconscious selves and how this spiritual exercise can change the whole of our lives: how we respond to God, how we relate to others, and how we view ourselves. { 198pp, 140x210mm, January 2002; PB, £14.50, 3856306161:9783856306168 , Daimon Verlag } |
| PILGRIMAGE TO THE REBIRTH [Erlo van Waveren] This is the intimate chronicle of a soul's metamorphosis, a story of psychic encounters between the Piscean forces of dualism and the force of the new consciousness of Aquarius. From his journals, which comprise this book, we learn that Erlo van Waveren arrived at a stratum of being both common and special to all who pursue the inner path. Pilgrimage to the Rebirth records extraordinary levels of communication with another side of his being, making it a fascinating chronicle. { 206pp, 140x215mm, January 1998; PB, £15.50, 3856305718:9783856305710 / HB, £23.50, 385630570X:9783856305703 , Daimon Verlag } |
| PRISON ON WHEELS : From Ravensbrück to Burgau [Eva Langley-Dános] "Prison on Wheels" is a remarkable diary kept by a young Hungarian woman, Eva Dános, during sixteen horror-filled days and nights of deportation by the Nazis in 1945. It is an eyewitness report of a 700-kilometre rail journey from Ravensbrück, north of Berlin, to Burgau, near Munich, one of the countless such operations that took place within Nazi Germany’s vast network of labour and concentration camps. What makes this account of particular interest is the fact that the author had been a member of a small, underground group in Budapest led by Gitta Mallasz, and her fellow-prisoners included some of these same comrades. Their humanity helped to sustain them. { 124pp, 140x215mm, January 2000; PB, £12.99, 3856305858:9783856305857 , Daimon Verlag } |
| PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF RUTH : with a Companion Essay -- 'Standing in the Sandals of NAOMI' [Yehezkel Kluger] The biblical Book of Ruth is a love story, apparently personal and simple -- of love between women and between man and woman -- told in poetic imagery and style. Barely hiding within this immediate beauty are the archetypal depths which reveal nothing less than the eternal mystery of a love which brings about redemption and individuation both personal and transcendent, human and divine. Dr Kluger wrote the original interpretation as part of the requirements of the first graduating class of the Jung Institute in Zürich. He later updated his work, but the thesis remains the same: the return of the feminine principle in the Bible. To this end, he examines the fate and role of the feminine as "she" travels from ancient times through various goddesses to the person of Ruth, and her destiny as restoring the original totality of masculine and feminine in equal, interacting, balance. In counterpoint to the scholarly style of her father -- while in unison with his interpretations -- Nomi Kluger-Nash has written a woman’s subjective reactions to the story of Ruth, Naomi and Orpah. To this associative style she brings further amplifications from Kabbalah into the meaning of these women who carry aspects, both light and dark, of the Shekhinah, the feminine presence of God. { 224pp, 140x215mm, January 1999; PB, £14.99, 3856305874:9783856305871 , Daimon Verlag } |
| QUEST FOR SILENCE [Harry A Wilmer] What ever happened to silence? Actually nothing, and Harry Wilmer takes great pains to show how we have submerged it under a toxic barrage of noise. Using both clinical examples of the power of silence from his case histories, and cultural values of silence, he uncovers a astonishing theme in the Japanese idea of MA as silence. Wilmer points out how silence gives meaning to words, dreams, thought, action and music. From his long experience as a Jungian analyst, he weaves his ideas into an eminently practical treatise on the phenomenology of silence. With many references to literature as well as his personal life experiences and crises, he offers a readable and important new story of the universal and spiritual significance of silence in a world of jackhammer noise. { 194pp, 140x210mm, January 2000; PB, £15.50, 3856305939:9783856305932 , Daimon Verlag } |
| RECEIVING WOMAN : Studies in the Psychology & Theology of the Feminine [Ann Belford Ulanov] Women want to be all of themselves and want to be their own selves, not examples of types. They want to work out their own individual combinations of what have been called the masculine and feminine parts of themselves. This book focuses on that possibility, on women receiving themselves, all of themselves, wisely and gladly. { 188pp, 140x210mm, January 2001; PB, £14.50, 3856306064:9783856306069 , Daimon Verlag } |
| RELUCTANT PROPHET : An Exploration of Prophecy & Dreams [James Kirsch] The events in Germany from 1933 to 1945 have shaken the world, and especially the Jewish people, to their fundaments. The great holocaust that spread throughout Europe came as such a surprise that even while the terror was following its cruel path, many Jews did not believe what was actually happening. Many did not try to escape when the time and opportunity would have allowed it. In contrast, there are historians today who, describing the psychological, economic, political, and social conditions of Central Europe between the two world wars, find that the tragedy was predictable and inevitable. If one compares these two attitudes -- the blindness of the victims in Germany and the clear-sightedness of later historians -- one wonders if in fact an event of such magnitude had been foreseen by sensitive men. The truth is, there were such men who, long before the catastrophe occurred, raised their warning voices. They were not well-known men, nor men of great authority, to whom it would have been natural to listen. One of them was an orthodox rabbi in a small Bavarian town. In 1881 Rabbi Elchanan Pinchas Moshe Haim, called Reb Hile Wechsler, published an anguished and strange brochure, 'A Word of Warning', which told of a forthcoming catastrophe which in its horror and totality of destruction could only be compared to Noah’s flood. Now that Jewish communities have vanished from many European countries, we can realise that Wechsler’s document of prophecy is an important psychological 'find', and is rich in implication. This tragic tapestry is rich in myth, symbol, and historical relevance and deserves a close study. The prophecy came true, but was the rabbi a true prophet? Why did no one listen to him? Why did he feel compelled by his dreams to write about and publish them, no matter how much he would be ridiculed or subjected to contempt? James Kirsch, a distinguished scholar, original thinker, and noted Jungian analyst, takes on the rabbi’s manuscript, his dreams and the far-reaching scope of prophetic symbols, breathes excitement and relevance into them, and provides a meaningful study that touches our history, our dreams, and our art. { 214pp, 155x230mm, January 1973; HB, £12.99, 385630519X:9783856305192 , Daimon Verlag } |
| ROCK RABBIT & THE RAINBOW : Laurens van der Post Among Friends [Robert Hinshaw (ed)] Sir Laurens van der Post, author, film-maker, storyteller of world-wide renown, soldier, prisoner of war, political advisor to heads of state, humanitarian, explorer, conservationist... the list goes on and on. His extraordinary curiosity, his love for the small and the great, and his tremendous feeling and concern for his surroundings and all that they included, set him travelling the lands and the waters of the world, a messenger in search of meaning. He touched and inspired many along the way, some of whom are to be found in the pages of this book. A true man of his time, Sir Laurens was born in 1906 in the interior of South Africa, served in the British forces during World War II, including three-and-a-half years in Japanese captivity, and lived and worked since that time in London, where he died just after celebrating his 90th birthday in December, 1996. 'The Rock Rabbit and The Rainbow' was originally conceived as a Festschrift, or gift collection of writings, for Sir Laurens by several of his friends and then evolved into its present form, which includes numerous original contributions by Sir Laurens himself. { 393pp, 160x240mm, January 1998; PB, £20.99, 3856305408:9783856305406 / HB, £29.99, 3856305122:9783856305123 , Daimon Verlag } |
| SANDPLAY THERAPY : Treatment of Psychopathologies [Eva Pattis Zoja (ed)] Ten European sandplay therapists describe how severe psychopathologies can be treated in the ‘free and protected space’ of the sandbox. The sandplay therapy cases in this book illustrate some of the most difficult, yet also most effective applications: psychoses, borderline syndromes, psychosomatic illnesses, drug addictions, or narcissistic character disorders. Sandplay seems to access areas of human suffering which have otherwise always resisted psychotherapeutic treatment. Recent research in neuroscience explains why this is possible: trauma is not remembered in verbal form -- what has never been articulated in words nor ever ‘shaped’ cannot be outwardly expressed. In sandplay, however, ‘it’ manifests itself as a form, shaped by the hands. The inexpressible can be seen and touched -- therefore, it can be transformed. { 267pp, 140x215mm, April 2004; PB, £19.50, 3856306226:9783856306229 , Daimon Verlag } |
| SAVAGE & BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY : The Secret Life of the Mind [Alan McGlashan] Alan McGlashan presents a sensitive view of the modern world and of time, of our memories and forgetfulness, joys and sorrows. He takes the reader on a safari into regions that are strange and yet familiar -- into the savage and beautiful country of the mind. No "cures" are offered, but we are provoked to reflect on our roles and attitudes in the contemporary world jungle. { 228pp, 140x215mm, January 1988; PB, £14.99, 3856305173:9783856305178 , Daimon Verlag } |
| SHAKESPEARE'S ROYAL SELF [James Kirsch] The discovery of the unconscious has brought a new dimension to the criticism of great works of literature. Notable studies of Hamlet by depth psychologists are in existence, but the total meaning of Shakespeare for Western European culture has not so far, been dealt with as deeply nor as comprehensively as is done by James Kirsch in Shakespeare’s Royal Self. Shakespeare is a prophet of Western culture. Dr Kirsch, in his study of three of the great tragedies, sheds new light on the miracle we call Shakespeare and on the extent to which his genius reached forward into the present day to provoke and rally those forces in us which are life-creative. { 426pp, 145x215mm, January 1966; HB, £12.99, 3856306110:9783856306113 , Daimon Verlag } |
| SISYPHUS : A Jungian Approach to Midlife Crisis [Verena Kast] Verena Kast refers to Sisyphus as the 'myth of the forty-year-olds', who often experience their lot in life to be a Sisyphus task. Are our human efforts all in vain, or is there some meaning to be found? In the end, it is a struggle with death itself. Dr Kast interprets everyday events, fairy tales and psychotherapy issues in light of the Sisyphus theme, rendering it a kaleidoscope through which we can look deeply into ourselves. Verena Kast deals with a problem that also fascinated Nietzsche and Freud. This book is packed with down-to-earth experience, clinical anecdotes, wit and insight. { 118pp, 140x215mm, January 1991; PB, £12.99, 3856305270:9783856305277 , Daimon Verlag } |

| SPECIMENS OF BUSHMEN FOLKLORE [W H I Bleek PhD & L C Lloyd] This new edition of the long-out-of print classic collection of Bushman tales provides a fascinating look into the life of these little-known people. As Megan Biesele writes in her Foreword: "The fact that a family of trained linguists and their associates sat down between 1870 and 1884 with a group of /Xam people who had been temporarily sprung free of imprisonment in Cape Town's Breakwater Prison has immense potential consequences. San people today, like indigenous peoples all over the world, are quietly organising educational futures for themselves which will make fine use of this record of the intellectual history of their culture". This edition reproduces the English text of the 1911 edition and is richly illustrated with photographs. { 468pp, 155x230mm, January 2001; HB, £34.99, 385630603X:9783856306038 , Daimon Verlag } |
| SPIRIT IN JUNG [Ann Belford Ulanov] Carl Jung is the foremost interpreter of the many interactions of religion, the world of the spiritual and psychological insight into human behaviours. In this book, one of the outstanding Jungian scholars of our time surveys Jung's contributions to a whole series of issues, ranging from the political to the pedagogical to the inner life of a saint, Therese of Lisieux. { 312pp, 140x210mm, June 2005; PB, £17.99, 3856306986:9783856306984 , Daimon Verlag } |
| SPIRITUAL ASPECTS OF CLINICAL WORK [Ann Belford Ulanov] How does the spirit come into clinical work? Through the analyst? What happens to human destructiveness if we embrace a vision of non-violence? Do dreams open us to spiritual life? What is the difference between repetition compulsion and ritual? How does religion feed terrorism? What happens if analysts must wrestle with hate in themselves? Do psychotherapy and spirituality compete, or contradict, or converse with each other? What does religion uniquely offer, beyond what psychoanalysis can do, to our surviving and thriving?

| TERROR, VIOLENCE & THE IMPULSE TO DESTROY : Perspectives from Analytical Psychology [John Beebe (ed)] Papers from the 2002 North American Conference of Jungian Analysts and Candidates. These papers address the process of terror as it confronts us in international situations and in outbreaks of violence in homes and schools. The thirteen contributors, seasoned Jungian analysts and psychotherapists, have often faced the reality of undermining destructiveness in their work with clients. Here they offer their theoretical and therapeutic insights, drawing from their experience of the psyche’s healing resources to identify the consciousness we need if we are to survive and reverse the contagion of hostility. This book provides an opportunity to learn what can inform the human spirit to prevail over the forces that threaten its integrity and compassion. { 410pp, 140x210mm, December 2003; PB, £20.99, 3856306285:9783856306281 , Daimon Verlag } |
| TESTAMENT TO THE WILDERNESS : Ten Essays on an Address by C A Meier [Professor C A Meier] In 1983, Swiss psychiatrist C.A. Meier delivered a fascinating paper at the 3rd World Wilderness Congress in Inverness, Scotland. 'Wilderness and the Search for the Soul of Modern Man' addressed not only the tragedy of our vanishing natural wilderness and the need to preserve it, but also the necessity of preserving man's 'inner wilderness'. A Testament to the Wilderness consists of Meier's original address and thoughtful and provocative responses by nine concerned writers from around the world. { 142pp, 145x225mm, January 1985; PB, £14.50, 3856305033:9783856305031 / HB, £16.50, 3856305025:9783856305024 , Daimon Verlag (Lapis Press) } |
| THREADS, KNOTS, TAPESTRIES : How a Tribal Connection is Revealed Through Dreams & Synchronicities [Tess Castleman] This book reveals the way our dreaming expresses and reflects our deep interpersonal and environmental interconnectivity. Drawing upon her decades of Jungian analytic practice, and many years of pioneering in dream groups, Castleman weaves a rich tapestry of dream threads which shows us how we are dreaming with and for each other. Her method is that of a storyteller telling the stories of people, their dreams, the stories of shamans, the stories of individuals suffering from cancer, love entanglements, and most delightfully, stories which show how dreams are woven together with communal life in other cultures, as well as in our own. { 279pp, 135x210mm, January 2004; PB, £15.50, 3856306978:9783856306977 , Daimon Verlag } |
| TIME TO MOURN, 2ND EDITION : Growing Through the Grief Process [Verena Kast] In what is often called her most important book, Verena Kast examines the role of mourning in the therapeutic process. Working as a psychotherapist, Kast has often observed depressive illnesses caused by painful losses, which have not been adequately mourned. Traditionally, mourning has not been a subject of psychologists’ attention. The author uses dreams to illustrate the stages of mourning and shows systematically how the unconscious stimulates us to encounter our grief. Mourning marks an end but it also fosters personal growth. It is a time of renewal, a time for incubation, for introspection, for going into oneself to gather strength, as a seed goes deep into the earth to find the resources for striving toward the light. { 156pp, 140x215mm, January 1993; PB, £14.99, 3856305092:9783856305093 , Daimon Verlag } |
| WAS C G JUNG A MYSTIC? : and Other Essays [Aniela Jaffé] C G Jung, the father of analytical psychology, explored the realms of thought and intuition. He devoted many years to an in-depth study of alchemy and closely observed the range of the occult; he was interested in anthropology and in nuclear physics. He liked to consider himself a scientist. { 119pp, 140x215mm, January 1989; PB, £11.99, 3856305084:9783856305086 , Daimon Verlag } |
| WHAT IS DEATH? [Marie-Louise von Franz] Three outstanding elderly Jungian analysts from Zürich, all of whom worked closely with C G Jung, addressed questions about dying and death shortly before their own departures from this world. They drew upon their lifelong analytic work in accompanying others as well as their own personal experiences in addressing this greatest of mysteries. Endings and beginnings, renewal and transformation are reflected in the rich dreams and other material upon which they have drawn. Marie-Louise von Franz writes about 'A Psychological Clarification of Experiences of Death', Liliane Frey-Rohn about 'Archetypes Surrounding Death' and Aniela Jaffé about 'C G Jung’s View of Death'. { 128pp, November 2008; PB, 3856306315:9783856306311 , Daimon Verlag } |
| WINDOW ON ETERNITY : The Paintings of Peter Birkhauser [Eva Wertenschlag-Birkhauser] The extraordinary images created by the Swiss painter Peter Birkhauser depict powerful contents from the unconscious, best understood when considered in the light of the collective spiritual problems of our time.

| WISDOM OF THE PSYCHE [Ann Belford Ulanov] This book promotes a strong argument for a 'feminine' approach to religious discovery: to struggle in the ambiguous gap between the wisdom of the psyche and the wisdom of Scripture, between our interior experience of God and the exterior reality of God. 'The Wisdom of the Psyche' urges clergy to help parishioners bring forth their unconscious feelings and images to join their conscious thoughts. In this way, the church allows its members the space to present themselves fully to God and to be fully present to the human need around them. { 144pp, 140x215mm, January 2000; PB, £13.99, 385630598X:9783856305987 , Daimon Verlag } |
| WIZARD'S GATE : Picturing Consciousness [Ann Belford Ulanov] This book, adapted from the distinguished Hale Lectures presents material from a woman's wrestling with death, showing how inextricably mixed are matters theological and psychological. At a point when her life was blossoming in every way, Nancy was struck down by a terminal brain tumour which soon robbed her of her speech. She used paintings, many of which are here reproduced, to wrestle with this blow and to communicate what she was slowly discerning in the face of death, something from the 'other side'. The author addresses a variety of related issues, including the place of language in analysis and the role of the feminine mode of being, especially in transference and counter-transference. { 122pp, 140x215mm, January 1994; PB, £13.99, 3856305394:9783856305390 , Daimon Verlag } |
| ZURICH 1995 : Open Questions in Analytical Psychology -- Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Congress for Analytical Psychology Zurich, 1995 [Mary Ann Mattoon (ed)] The Zurich Congress marked a return to the origins of Analytical Psychology: here it was that C G Jung lived for the first six decades of this century and developed the school of psychology he came to be known for. Here, too, is where many of today's Jungian analysts from all over the world received their training, and their initiation into the profession. As this collection of the complete proceedings attests, the theme of "open questions" drew a bountiful array of intriguing responses, and this to the largest gathering of Jungian analysts ever: over 800 in all. { 746pp, 140x215mm, January 1995; PB, £22.50, 3856305564:9783856305567 / HB, £32.99, 3856305556:9783856305550 , Daimon Verlag } |
