Volume Three: Jung Revisited, Research and Evolutionary Psychotherapy—the New Paradigm
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.”

135. Clinical Chaos John R. Van Eenwyk
ISBN 9781894574372. 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.

From the introduction:
“Juxtaposing “Growing Up” and “Puer” may seem oxymoronic. But consider the mistaken belief that adolescence must be outgrown before one grows up. Au contraire; psychologically, the es-sence of the puer aeternus—his love of life, spontaneity, creative drive and urge to realize his po-tential—must accompany a man as he ages or he becomes dry, listless, and spiritless—the es-sence of negative senex, old man, not wise, but rather crotchety and irritable. This is like Gepetto advising Pinocchio (in some versions of the tale) to “Stay wood!”
.In Miles to Go Before I Sleep, what Sharp started over thirty years ago in The Secret Raven reaches maturity, following C. G. Jung’s advice to any puer: go through it, not above it or away from it (as the untried puer might do).
—A.C. Review of Books, Toronto.
Miles To Go is a full-bodied blend of thinking and feeling,
Logos and Eros—no running away. It is an exciting and compelling read,
light-hearted but with gravitas—puer with wisdom
and tended wings.
—Melbourne Sentinel.
