Also available individually.  1000. The Talking Cure: Psychotherapy, Past, Present and Future: Includes all three volumesEdited by Frith Luton and Daryl Sharp ISBN Mixed. Sewn. Index. 384 pp. 2013. $50.00 Volumes One, Two and Three In The Talking Cure, an immensely readable and entertaining overview in three volumes, Jungian analyst Anthony Stevens describes how the major schools of psychodynamic theory grew out of the psychology of their charismatic founders and have subsequently turned into exclusive and mutually hostile rival “sects.” Stevens argues that the best hope for the future lies in research to determine the positive therapeutic ingredients that all methods have in common. This, combined with the kind of undogmatic, open-minded humanity advocated by C. G. Jung, could lead to the adoption of a new paradigm capable of transcending the differences between them—the paradigm adopted by the new breed of “evolutionary psychotherapists.” Also available individually. ISBN 9781894574419. Sewn. Index. 112 pp. 2013. $25.00 Eros, Naturally is a romp with gravitas. It is another “Jungian romance” by the author who created the genre, starting with Chicken Little: The Inside Story (1993) and continuing through over a dozen more tomes. No other writer has so adroitly interwoven Logos and Eros, thinking and feeling. In this new book, Sharp’s wit and analytic knowledge are counterpointed by Badger, an alter-ego who lives in the basement. Sharp has learned well from his mentors—Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz, Edward F. Edinger, and the bevy of writers he calls collectively “the modern European Mind.” As the Harold Pinter and Samuel Beckett of the Jungian literary community, his prose is wry, succinct and resonates on many levels. Eros, Naturally is no exception—serious fun, whimsical- and informative, a real page-turner. Eros, Naturally amuses its readers with its wit and surprises its readers with its candor and amazes with its insights into the human predicament. It introduces us to Badger, who leaves his basement sett to take us on frolics in time and place—Toronto in the 1950s, Paris and London in the 60s, then Zurich, San Francisco, Jamaica,, etc. Back in Toronto in the 2010s, he discovers that “every badger has an inner badgerette.” Not every reader will agree with the author’s enthusiasms in music and films, but all will enjoy the play of wit and revel in the wit at play, especially the self-selected epitaph, “He was kind and generous; he loved women “ An endearing diarist in the tradition of Stephen Leacock and Samuel Pepys. —John Robert Colombo, author and anthologist, Toronto. Eros, Naturally is Sharp’s latest entertaining admixture of mind-science and subject-driven fiction. His approach to psychic well-being, his “Jungian romances,” will interest more people in self-discovery than any of the many academic tomes on the subject. —R. J., San Francisco Times.  138.

Sewn. Index. 192 pp. 2013. $30.00 John Van Eenwyk’s in-depth knowledge of trauma, gleaned from forty years of analytic experience, shines through in this book, as does his compassion for the formidable challenges we all face on our journey of individuation. Clinical Chaos is a significant sequel to the author’s previous book in this series, Archetypes and Strange Attractors: The Chaotic World of Symbols. With multiple case examples showing how theory may appear or be applied in the consulting room, Clinical Chaos is not only the first book on the subject, but quite simply the most important contribution to the logistics of trauma ever written from a Jungian perspective. John R. Van Eenwyk, Ph.D., is a graduate of the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich. His doctorate in religion and psychological studies is from the University of Chicago. He is also an ordained priest in the Episcopal Church and a clinical instructor at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He is the clinical director of the International Trauma Treatment Program (ITTP), which he founded in 1998 to train counselors in the treatment of complex trauma survivors. He publishes widely and lectures internationally on both Jungian psychology and the treatment of torture survivors. He has a private practice in Olympia, Washington. |
