How can the psychotherapist think about not knowing? Is
psychoanalysis a contemplative practice? This book explores the
possibility that there are resources in philosophy and theology
which can help psychoanalysts and psychotherapists think more
clearly about the unknown and the unknowable. The book applies the
lens of apophasis to psychoanalysis, providing a detailed reading
of apophasis in the work of Pseudo-Dionysius and exploring C.G.
Jung's engagement with apophatic discourse. Pseudo-Dionysius
brought together Greek and biblical currents of negative theology
and the via negativa, and the psychology of Jung can be read as a
continuation and extension of the apophatic tradition. Henderson
discusses the concept of the transcendent function as an apophatic
dynamic at the heart of Jung's thought, and suggests that apophasis
can provide the key to understanding the family resemblance among
the disparate schools of psychoanalysis. Chapters consider: -Jung's
discussion of opposites, including his reception of Nicholas of
Cusa's concept of the coincidence of opposites -Jung's engagement
with Neoplatonism and Pseudo-Dionysius -the work of Jung in
relation to Deleuze, Derrida and other writers -how motifs in
Pseudo-Dionysius' Ecclesiastical Hierarchy resonate with
contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The in-depth examination
of primary sources in this comprehensive volume provides a platform
for research into apophasis in the wider field of psychoanalysis.
It will prove valuable reading for scholars and analysts of Jungian
psychology studying religion and mysticism.
