The Relational Jung: Challenging the Inward Orientation of Analytical Psychology

Book Details

Reviews and Endorsements

A wise, well-informed and clinically useful book that opens a way for mutual recognition and dialogue between Jungian analysis and relational psychoanalysis. Encouraging a turning away from the introversion so typical of the classical Jungian approach, there is also a possibility herein for further rapprochement between the descendants of Freud and those of Jung. This is going to be greatly facilitated by the emerging consensus that Jung may be considered a pioneer of relational psychoanalysis.
Andrew Samuels, Founder and board member of the International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy

The Relational Jung represents a carefully considered effort to free analytical psychology from its traditional intrapsychic bias to include interpersonal, synchronistic, and social dimensions of life. The essays are nuanced and form a bouquet of thoughtful contributions to this endeavor. It’s a book to be recommended for teaching purposes in Jungian training programs.
Murray Stein, PhD, author of Outside, Inside and All Around
