Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

In Time and the Psyche, a diverse selection of contributors explores the multilayered aspects of time through the lens of analytical psychology. The book aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, emphasising time’s fundamental role in the workings and expressions of the psyche, and additionally exploring cultural and clinical dimensions. The contributors deal with temporality in our inner world and its manifestations as expressed by products of our psyche, covering topics such as disturbances of temporality within the psychoanalytic session, the acausal connecting prin - ciple of synchronicity, time as expressed in film, objects, literature, and culture, and temporality as understood in various types of dreams and imaginary practices. The book also explores the time-bound world, time versus timelessness, the realm of the eternal, human versus cosmic time, Chronos versus Kairos, and other temporality-related dimensions and their relationship to our psyche and our experience in the world. With contributors from backgrounds in clinical work, the arts, literature, and philosophy, this collection is unique in its scope. Time and the Psyche is a thought-provoking reading for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, analytical psychologists, and Jungian analysts in practice and in training.
