ABSTRACT

Jung was drawn to the religions, philosophies, and psychologies of the Far East, especially those of ancient China and Japan. In turn, Jung’s writings have been well received in modern Japan, Korea, and now in China. However, there has been relatively little contact between Asian psychologists and Jungian analysis, compared to what has occurred in the West. This is beginning to change, as students from Japan and other Asian countries matriculate at the Jung Institute in Zurich, increasing the number of Asian Jungian analysts in the years to come. At the present time there are IAAP members only in Japan and Korea, and this chapter chronicles the developments in those countries, and more recently in China.
