Towards an Integrated Analytical Psychology presents a sophisticated overview of some of the salient philosophical, cultural, social, and clinical ingredients that have gone into contemporary visions of human psychology and psychotherapy, and proposes a “unified field” theory of mental representation which puts psychoanalytic, analytic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives in a mutually integrative framework. The model proposed by Matthew Bennett, called Integrative Analytical Psychology, presents two major dimensions of personality development, and is integrative of Jungian and psychoanalytic perspectives, but places the Jungian concept of archetype as its core organizing principle. The six mental representations included within this model are: Archetype, Symbol, Object, Complex, Schema and Self. This book strongly accents clinical application, and more broadly considers the applied clinical implications of these mental representations to psychotherapy and clinical practice. This book offers a novel model of understanding personality and will be of direct and immediate use for psychotherapists and students of psychotherapy, especially those from the psychoanalytic and analytic/Jungian tradition. It would also be of interest to social workers, marriage and family therapists and psychiatrists.

Reviews and Endorsements

With the publication of Towards an Integrated Analytical Psychology: Return to Freedom and Dignity master teacher and psychologist Matthew Bennett offers us the wisdom of his years of experience in depth psychology as a professor and a clinician. A fresh, synthetic vision of the field with a solid, well-formulated Jungian core is provided by this remarkable text. Bennett takes us beyond statistics and “evidence based” approaches to psychology, returning humanity and dignity into a central position for a 21st century vision of the discipline.
Joe Cambray, Ph.D., Past-President-CEO, Pacifica Graduate Institute

No ordinary book, Towards an Integrated Analytical Psychology: Return to Freedom and Dignity, reads like the harvest of a whole career dedicated to the indivisibility of theory and practice. Bennett brilliantly overcomes, synthesizes and reconciles long held splits in psychology to propose a necessary unified field theory which forms an invigorating guide to clinical practice.
Susan Rowland, PhD, author with Joel Weishaus of Jungian Arts-Based Research and "the Nuclear Enchantment of New Mexico"
