This important new volume addresses an underappreciated dimension of Jung’s work his concept of the teleology or “future-orientation” of psychic reality. The work authored by an international group of Jungian scholars expands upon the socio-cultural psychological therapeutic and philosophical import of this key pillar of the Jungian oeuvre offering a compelling alternative to current culturally dominant ideas about how change occurs. The book addresses varied aspects of his teleological thought generally and its application to the psychotherapeutic endeavor specifically engaging Freudian neo-Freudian and related theoretical orientations in an informed dialogue about the critical issue of the emergent unfolding of subjectivity in treatment. This is an illuminating read for those interested in the study of Jungian theory psychoanalysis social psychology religion transpersonal psychology indigenous wisdom traditions and philosophical metapsychology. |Psychological and Philosophical Studies of Jung’s Teleology The Future-Orientation of Mind | Mental Health
