This original volume explores Jung's earliest English seminars, held in 1919 and 1920, in relation to the impact of Liber Novus and The Red Book and his new exoteric and esoteric concepts of analytical psychology created during the Great War.
The groundbreaking seminars presented in the book yield important insights about Jung's application of analytical methods and the psychological concepts he developed in response to his confrontation with the unconscious, recorded in Liber Novus and in his Collected Papers on Analytical Psychology, edited by Dr. Constance Long, one of his first English analysands and colleagues. The English seminars illuminate the extent to which Jung shared, or alluded to, material from Liber Novus and The Red Book, supported by evidence from Long's journal which contains a wealth of additional material about Jung's method of supervision, views on transference, her own analysis and the eventual break-up of the London group.
Enchanting the Unconscious is an important and timeless contribution to Jungian history and our understanding of early formulations of Jung's conceptual model of the psyche, making it of great interest to Jungian analysts, analytical psychologists, students of Jungian history and general readers interested in exploring Jung's earliest teaching seminars previously undocumented or distorted by hearsay.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This superb book draws back a veil from our understanding of the early reception of Jung's ideas in Britain. Presenting a wealth of previously unknown material-letters, journal entries, dream diaries, and notes of both seminars and analytic sessions with Jung-Diane Finiello Zervas vividly evokes the events and personalities of this important chapter in the dissemination of Jung's work. Meticulously researched, masterfully organised, and laced with fascinating and significant details, this is one of the best and most enjoyable historical studies of Jung I have read.'
Professor Roderick Main, University of Essex, UK
'Enchanting the Unconscious is a remarkable book of Jungian scholarship, both in erudition and originality. Based on a forensic historical examination of Jung's thought and his influences from 1902 to early 1920s, and drawing from published and unpublished material including lectures, group and individual encounters, and unpublished analytic and diary material of patients and collaborators, Zervas paints a vivid and coherent picture of the building blocks of Jungian psychology in a never-before-seen light. The book culminates in a systematic reconstruction of a formerly unknown seminar on Dreams held by Jung in London in 1919, followed by informal meetings in Upper Cranwell Farm the same year. It builds a bridge between Jung's esoteric practices on active imagination and the possibility of "psycho-material-transformation", to his subsequent exoteric material contained in the Collected works. As such, this book opens an invaluable door to a new understanding of Jung's project of individuation.'
