The Jung-White Letters charts fifteen years of correspondence
between C.G. Jung and Victor White, an English Dominican priest and
theologian. The dialogue between the two provides valuable insights
into the development of Jung's thought, and the relationship
between psychology and religion.
Jung hoped that his correspondence with White would help him to
reinterpret the classic Christian symbols and White sought Jung's
support of his project to integrate analytical psychology into
Catholic theology. Although both Jung and White were committed to a
productive collaboration, the letters trace a trajectory toward a
crisis of misunderstanding and betrayal, culminating in a
sharpening of disagreements after publication of Jung's Answer to
Job.
The letters are presented with great attention to authenticity,
and Jung's previously published letters have been restored to their
original style. The text is helpfully annotated throughout with
historical, literary and personal references. A wealth of editorial
material is also included to set the letters in context, including
an authoritative memoir of Victor White.
Jung's engagement with White was an essential dialogue that
contributed importantly to his late writings, forcing him to refine
his critique of classical theology. This volume will be of great
interest to all Jungian analysts, psychoanalysts and
psychotherapists and anyone interested in investigating the complex
relationship between analytical psychology and religion.
