ABSTRACT

This unique book showcases the cutting-edge work of researchers in Jungian and post-Jungian studies, focusing on the advances being made at the University of Essex, UK, and operating as a Festschrift for Professor Andrew Samuels.

The Plural Turn in Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies includes contributions from innovative authors who specialise in Jung but incorporate ideas from other psychoanalytic schools and from a range of disciplines. The book includes chapters which shed new light on concepts including alchemy, archetypes and individuation and which examine art, relationships and politics. It both honours the work of Andrew Samuels and sets the foundations of an ‘Essex School’ of Jungian studies.

A wide-ranging collection, this book will be essential for academics and scholars of Jungian and post-Jungian studies. It will also be a key title for all readers with an interest in the work of Andrew Samuels.
