К. Г. Юнг: Лексикон

Studies in Jungian Psychology by Jungian Analysts #47

by Daryl Sharp, Марина Бояджиева (Translator)

К. Г. Юнг почина през 1961 година, без да остави системно обобщение на своята психология. През последните 45 години неговите идеи бяха обяснявани, разработвани и развивани от хиляди други хора с различни резултати.

К. Г. ЮНГ/ ЛЕКСИКОН отвежда читателя до извора. Той е предназначен за тези, които търсят ясно разбиране на основните термини и концепции, както са използвани и разработвани от самия Юнг.

К. Г. ЮНГ/ ЛЕКСИКОН не е критика или защита на мисленето на Юнг, а пътеводител за разкриване на неговото богатство и за илюстрация на широкия обхват и вътрешна свързаност на неговите интереси.

Създаден след задълбочено прочитане и предаване на най-важните идеи от главните трудове на Юнг, с приложение на компетентен коментар и диаграми, ЛЕКСИКОНЪТ съдържа изчерпателен преглед на основните принципи на аналитичната психология.

About the author

Daryl Leonard Merle Sharp is a Jungian analyst and publisher. He lives in Toronto, Canada and has two sons and two daughters.

He earned two Bachelor degrees, one in mathematics and physics and the other in journalism, at Carleton University in Canada, and a Masters degree in literature and philosophy from the University of Sussex in England. Sharp entered training at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich in 1974, along with other members of the so-called "Canadian mafia," which included Fraser Boa, Marion Woodman and John Dourley.

Upon graduating in 1978, Sharp returned to Canada to begin an analytic practice and tour North America on the Jungian lecture circuit. Together with Marion Woodman and Fraser Boa, Sharp co-founded the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts in Toronto in 1982 (followed by a training program for analysts in 2000).

In 1980, Sharp also began his major labour of love: Inner City Books, still the world's only publishing house dealing exclusively with the work of Jungian analysts. Sharp's first publication was his diploma thesis, The Secret Raven: Conflict and Transformation in the Life of Franz Kafka. Many others followed, including multiple publications by analysts such as Marion Woodman, Edward F. Edinger, James Hollis and J. Gary Sparks, and especially Marie-Louise von Franz, who graciously agreed to act as honorary patron of Inner City Books.

Sharp himself is the author of more than 30 titles, mainly designed to introduce and explain Jungian concepts to lay audiences. Personality Types and Digesting Jung are available as free eBooks on Inner City Books' website.}

This is my new friend—an indispensable companion for anyone interested in analytical psychology. This book is a dictionary of all the concepts Carl G. Jung used in his work. Daryl Sharp uses quotations from Jung's collected works with every term. His comments are few and explanatory, keeping allegiance with the source. I call this, Absolute reliability.

Here are some of my favorite bits:

"Consciousness should defend its reason and protect itself, and the chaotic life of the unconscious should be given the chance of having its way too—as much of it as we can stand. This means open conflict and open collaboration at once. That, evidently, is the way human life should be. It is the old game of hammer and anvil: between them the patient iron is forged into an indestructible whole, an 'individual.'"

"When animus and anima meet, the animus draws his sword of power and the anima ejects her poison of illusion and seduction. The outcome need not always be negative, since the two are equally likely to fall in love."

A great beginner in Jungian concepts and a wonderful adjunct to The Middle Passage: From Misery to Meaning in Midlife. Helped give deeper meaning to the terms and concepts that I was a little iffy on.
