Jungian and Interdisciplinary Interfaces Between Emotions Individual and Collective Trauma

'Think of a universe exploding and expanding into an infant star system of interdisciplinary ideas and transgressive clinical approaches that meet the extraordinary demands of our era. Each chapter in this expansive collection integrates contemporary theories on emotion into analytical psychology but also radically challenges its orthodox social, theoretical and clinical boundaries.'

Robin McCoy Brooks, Jungian Analyst, USA, and co-author of The Healing Power of Community - Mutual Aid, AIDS & Social Transformation in Psychology (Routledge, 2025)

'These volumes contain papers of an outstanding conference which took place at the CGJung Institute Zürich in 2023, at which researchers and practitioners of Jungian psychology presented their contributions from practical and theoretical points of view. A wide range of approaches on neurosciences, gender, culture, religion, trauma, just to name a few, are explored within the current views on emotions, reflecting on and relating them to the core concepts of analytical psychology. A remarkable compilation of experts and perspectives in a must-have publication.'

Vicente L. de Moura, Ph.D. Jungian Training analyst, Supervisor and Author, CGJIZ

'This collection of articles presented at the 2023 Conference at the CGJIZ "I Feel, Therefore I Am" reflect upon the fruitful and innovative interdisciplinary interactions between renowned analysts, academics and therapists. Circumambulating the topic of emotions and their relevance for analytical psychology with input from different fields of contemporary research, the contributions give voice to emotion as an essential part of the human psyche that has not always been recognised for its real value. In the light of C.G. Jung's lifework, emotions have not only a disturbing influence on consciousness, but are, above all, the vessel for transformation. Messages from the unconscious help us to bridge the inner and the outer world, to encounter the soul and become more balanced. The different chapters of this book encourage the readers to use emotions in their therapeutical and analytical work and be aware of the inner voice that expresses emotions in its own language, whether in images, somatic reactions, creativity or feelings.'

Evy Tausky, Jungian Training Analyst and Supervisor, President of the Curatorium of the C.G. Jung-Institute, Zürich
