More than a mere overview, the book offers readers a strong grounding in the basic principles of Jung's analytical psychology in addition to illuminating insights.

While the Jungian approach to spirituality departs from specific religious beliefs and practices and does not privilege any in particular, it retains an attitude of respect for the variety of experiences of the numinous and for all God images. Spirituality is a central feature of the individuation process. The essays in Volume 8 of The Collected Writings of Murray Stein are dedicated to reflecting on and expanding this core principle.

This book consists of a series of six lectures on C.G. Jung’s work with alchemy. It is introductory, and it is interpretive. Why did Jung regard the study of alchemy as an essential piece of his life’s work? What does alchemy add to his psychological understanding of the human being and the individuation process? These are questions addressed in this work for the purpose of opening for the general student of analytical psychology the treasures of Jung’s insights as developed in his alchemi...

The Red Book: Liber Novus combines all of these genres. Essays in this volume are reflections on the many features of Jung’s oeuvre.

In this volume, Murray Stein and Diane Stanley explore, compare and contrast key features of the Buddhist view of Self liberation and the Jungian process of individuation.

Do we, like Jung, need to leave the spirit of the time and follow the spirit of the depths, to call out "my soul, where are you?" through the windows of our now post-modern homes? We live in a digital world of incredible virtual inter-connectedness but at the same time fragmented and divided on many levels, including the psychological. The pace of life is rapid and ever accelerating. The spirit of the time is flux: It twitters. There is no sense of coherence in the whole. The guidance of a...
