AnGuides.gif (8798 bytes) Animal Guides
in Life, Myth and Dreams

Neil Russack*

2001

 

Ever since Paleolithic people learned to draw animal forms on the walls of caves, we humans have shown a mixed reaction to the animal world. On the one hand we have worshipped animals as if they were gods, and on the other treated them as personal possessions to be loved and cared for.

Neil Russack has given us a beautiful and moving narrative of his and others' experience of animals - dogs, waterbirds, deer, whales, geese, elephants, elk, frogs, dolphins, horses, octopi and many more - teasing out their psychological significance through the use of mythology, poetry, dreams and case material. Above all, he honors animals in their own life.

 

 

Inanna (50495 bytes)

 

Inanna,
Lady of Largest Heart : Poems of
the Sumerian
High Priestess Enheduanna.

Betty deShong Meador*

2001

Winner of the 2001
Gradiva Award from the National Association
for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis.
The Gradiva Award was inspired by Freud's "Delusions and Dreams in Jensen's Gradiva", in which he stated, 'Creative writers are valuable allies and their evidence is to be prized highly, for they are apt to know a whole host of things between heaven and earth of which our philosophy has not yet let us dream.'  With that in mind, NAAP established the Gradive Awards to honor our 'valuable allies,' including poets, artists, producers, directors, writers, publishers, etc. - who have created works that advance psychoanalysis."

About the Book:

The earliest known author of written literature was a woman named Enheduanna, who lived in ancient Mesopotamia around 2300 BCE. High Priestess to the moon god Nanna, Enheduanna came to venerate the goddess Inanna above all gods in the Sumerian pantheon. The hymns she wrote to Inanna constitute the earliest written portrayal of an ancient goddess. In their celebration of Enheduanna's relationship with Inanna, they also represent the first existing account of an individual's consciousness of her inner life.

 

 

dunne (42152 bytes) Carl Jung:
Wounded Healer
of the Soul

Claire Dunne

2000

 

This new biography of 20th-century genius Carl Jung portrays his down-to-earth, human side, with all the strengths and frailties that accompany the human condition. This book is neither hagiography nor slander. What emerges is a cohesive portrait of a healer whose skills arose from having first attended to the wounds in his own soul.  Claire Dunne has used Jung's own words to reveal the journey of his individuation, with many stunning images and photographs, some never seen before. Jungian analyst John Beebe has described Carl Jung: Wounded Healer of the Soul as a worthy successor to Man and His Images and as the best single introduction to Jung for the popular reader.

(We do have copies of this book at the Institute. If you are near us, you can purchase it from us in person.)

 

FROM OUR INSTITUTE

 

jungians (27584 bytes) The Jungians:
A Comparative and Historical Perspective

Thomas Kirsch*

2000

 

Irving Yalom writes: "The Jungians sets out to describe the social and political history of the Jungian communities throughout the world and accomplishes its aims admirably. It will be the gold standard for historical inquiry into the Jungian movement for decades to come with an informative discussion of the development of every institute and of the contributions of each significant figure in analytic psychology.

 

Vision (27613 bytes) The Vision Thing :
Myth, Politics, and Psyche in the World

Thomas Singer,*
editor.

2000

 

 


 

Myth, politics and psychology make for a yeasty brew. From Alexander the Great to the Wizard of Oz to Pol Pot's Cambodia to cyberspace, this book is a grand tour in time and space of the complex relationship between myth, politics and psychology.

 

redclay (34824 bytes) red clay is talking

 

naomi ruth lowinsky*

2000

 

 

 

A seductive blend of myth, autobiography, and dream. These poems are not content to dwell on the surfaces of experience, but yearn for and plunge into the depths.

 

persephone (30106 bytes) Embracing Persephone : How to Be the Mother You Want for the Daughter You Cherish.

Virginia Beane Rutter*

2000

 

 

 

 

As Demeter loses Persephone to the Underworld, many mothers feel they are losing their daughters during the adolescent years. In this book, a Jungian analyst gives mothers positive, solution-oriented strategies for minimizing conflict and for coming to terms with their changing role.

Seeing the Crab : A Memoir of Dying Before I Do

Christina Middlebrook*

1996

Christina Middlebrook was not quite fifty when she was told that a lump in her breast was not only malignant, but had already metastasized, and she had a fifty-percent chance of surviving more than two years. In her beautiful, unflinching memoir, Middlebrook conveys the physical and emotional ordeal of coming to terms with her own imminent death. Candid and courageous, Middlebrook's memoir honestly relates her story, which, unlike many books about illness that end in triumph, can offer no reassuring conclusion. In the tradition of William Styron's Darkness Visible, Seeing the Crab is a true and incredibly powerful story of facing the unthinkable with grace.

IntegDepth (78390 bytes) Integrity in Depth

 

John Beebe*

1995

Available only thru the SF Institute: call 415.771.8055 or email pa2@sfjung.org
 

One reviewer wrote: Integrity in Depth is a quiet, profound meditation on the concept of integrity. Dr. Beebe, a psychiatrist, Jungian analyst and scholar, has found a way to write effectively about a term that encompasses many qualities including authenticity, completeness, wholeness, and honesty. Beebe explores integrity from a psychological rather than moral perspective, while honoring the links between the two. I found the book wise, tolerant, sophisticated but accessible, succinct, and filled with subtle compassion.

 


A BASIC
JUNGIAN READING LIST

 

jungsmap (100765 bytes) Jung's Map of the Soul : An Introduction

Murray Stein

1998

 

Probably the best one-volume English language summary of Jung's thought. . . Stein develops the cartographical metaphor of the title by beginning with the "surface" (ego) of the psyche and exploring successively more complex areas, including complexes, libido thoery, shadow, "anima/us," the self, individuation, and synchronicity. The map soon resembles the multidisciplinary chart of a solar system more than it does a flat map. In each subject area, Stein draws heavily on papers that Jung wrote late in his life, but he sets these in the context of Jung's earlier developing thought. This method allows the author to demonstrate the interconnectedness and coherence of Jung's mature work.
