Jung
Anthony Stevens explains the basic concepts of Jungian psychology: the collective unconscious, complex, archetype, shadow, persona, anima, animus, and the individuation of the "Self". He also examines Jung's views on such disparate subjects as religion, and the psychology of gender differences.
Introduction to Jungian Psychology
In 1925, while transcribing and painting in his Red Book , C. G. Jung presented a series of seminars in English in which he spoke for the first time in public about his early spiritualistic experiences, his encounter with Freud, the genesis of his psychology, and the self-experimentation he called his "confrontation with the unconscious," describing in detail a number of pivotal dreams and fantasies. He then presented an introductory overview of his ideas about psychological typology and the archetypes of the collective unconscious, illustrated with case material and discussions concerning contemporary art. He focused particularly on the contra-sexual elements of the personality, the anima and the animus, which he discussed with the participants through psychological analyses of popular novels, such as Rider Haggard's She. The notes from these seminars form the only reliable published autobiographical account by Jung and the clearest and most important account of the development of his work. This revised edition features additional annotations, information from the Red Book , and an introduction by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London.

The Life of the Spirit: In the Convergent Points of Dreams, Spirituality and Psychology
DREAMSSPIRITUALITY PSYCHOLOGY For a long time I studied psychology and Spirituality interface, overlap and border each other as disciplines on the path to healing, wholeness and transformation. My own model and theory evolved out of this process. My doctoral dissertation and this book are products of this process. I found that the theory of Carl G. Jung with its goal of Individuation and The Illuminative Way, with its goal of transformative Union had clearly identifiable stages and that the stages are Interchangeable. For Jung the process consists of, Awakening, Confrontation with the Shadow, Persona, Ego, and later the animus/anima, being integrated into the conscious personality. This process consists of deaths, rebirths, depressions, losses, mourning, deconstruction of defenses and eventually the birth of the new self, which functions in service to the higher Self. The stages of the Illuminative Way are Conversion, Purgation, Darkness, Illumination, Dark Night of the Senses, Dark Night of the Soul and Union Dreams are pure products of the unconscious uncensored in symbolic form. Convergent dreams inform and direct both of these paths. Jung Believed that humanity must individuate one person at a time and that the cumulative effect would benefit all in the evolution of consciousness.

Excerpt: A mother goddess is a term used to refer to any goddess associated with motherhood, fertility, creation or the bountiful embodiment of the Earth. When equated with the Earth or the natural world such goddesses are sometimes referred to as Mother Earth or as the Earth Mother. There have been many different mother goddesses throughout history and in the present day, including such deities as the Hindu Kali Ma, ancient Greek Gaia and ancient Irish Danu. In some forms of Neopaganism, and in the Hindu idea of Shakti, all the many mother goddesses are viewed as being the embodiment of one singular deity. Clearly, deities fitting the modern conception of the "Mother Goddesses" as a type have been revered in many societies through to modern times. James Frazer (author of The Golden Bough) and those he influenced (such as Robert Graves and Marija Gimbutas) advanced the theory that all worship in Europe and the Aegean that involved any kind of mother goddess had originated in Pre-Indo-European neolithic matriarchies, and that their diverse goddesses were equivalent or derived from that concept. Although the type has been well accepted as a useful category for mythography, the idea that all such goddesses were believed in ancient times to be interchangeable has been countered in 1968 by archaeologist Peter Ucko, who proposes instead that the many images found in graves and archaeological sites of these ancient cultures were toys.

Analytical Psychology: Notes of the Seminar Given in 1925
For C. G. Jung, 1925 was a watershed year. He turned fifty, visited the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and the tribesmen of East Africa, published his first book on the principles of analytical psychology meant for the lay public, and gave the first of his formal seminars in English. The seminar, conducted in weekly meetings during the spring and summer, began with a notably personal account of the development of his thinking from 1896 up to his break with Freud in 1912. It moved on to discussions of the basic tenets of analytical psychology--the collective unconscious, typology, the archetypes, and the anima/animus theory. In the elucidation of that theory, Jung analyzed in detail the symbolism in Rider Haggard's She and other novels. Besides these literary paradigms, he made use of case material, examples in the fine arts, and diagrams.

Jung, Irigaray, Individuation
This book outlines Plato's conception of the feminine as disorder and argues that this conception is found in Jung's notion of the anima feminine. It then suggests that Luce Irigaray's work challenges the notion of the feminine as disorder.
The Deficiencies of the Materialist Reading of Aristotle's Psychology
This book offers a concise introduction to the dense tradition of scholarship that has grown up around Aristotle's psychological philosophy, specifically that found in Aristotle's De Anima. The book presents a general overview of the materialist interpretations of Aristotle's notion of soul offered by a few of the most influential commentators in recent decades: Barnes, Sorabji, Nussbaum, and various others all of whom exercise considerable influence over current scholarship in the area, and over the teaching of Aristotle in today's undergraduate classrooms. The central contention of the work is that, despite its long history, the materialist interpretation of Aristotle's notion of soul and his psychology in general suffers insuperable inconsistencies with the text of De Anima itself and the Aristotelian corpus at large. The Deficiencies of the Materialist Reading of Aristotle's Psychology seeks to reinvigorate the non-materialist tradition of scholarship in the area by presenting a picture of its current front runners that is succinct, accessible, and points to the various facets of Aristotle's psychology that the materialist approach in general fails to account for adequately.
Psychology and Philosophy: Inquiries Into the Soul from Late Scholasticism to Contemporary Thought
Psychology and Philosophy provides a history of the relations between philosophy and the science of psychology from late scholasticism to contemporary discussions. The book covers the development from 16th-century interpretations of Aristotlea (TM)s De Anima, through Kantianism and the 19th-century revival of Aristotelianism, up to 20th-century phenomenological and analytic studies of consciousness and the mind. In this volume historically divergent conceptions of psychology as a science receive special emphasis. The volume illuminates the particular nature of studies of the psyche in the contexts of Aristotelian and Cartesian as well as 19th- and 20th-century science and philosophy. The relations between metaphysics, transcendental philosophy, and natural science are studied in the works of Kant, Brentano, Bergson, Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Wittgenstein, and Davidson. Accounts of less known philosophers, such as Trendelenburg and Maine de Biran, throw new light on the history of the field. Discussions concerning the connections between moral philosophy and philosophical psychology broaden the volumea (TM)s perspective and show new directions for development. All contributions are based on novel research in their respective fields. The collection provides materials for researchers and graduate students in the fields of philosophy of mind, history of philosophy, and psychology.
