Research in Analytical Psychology: Applications from Scientific,
Historical, and Cross-Cultural Research is a unique collection of
chapters from an international selection of contributors,
reflecting the contemporary field of research in Analytical
Psychology with a focus on qualitative and mixed-methods research.
Presented in seven parts, this volume offers unique qualitative
research that highlights approaches to understanding the psyche and
investigating its components, and offers a Jungian perspective on
cultural forces affecting individual psychology. The book brings
forward the connections between Analytical Psychology and other
disciplines including neuroscience, psychotherapy research,
developmental research, Freudian psychoanalysis, and cultural
studies. Part I provides an introduction to the volume, establishes
the nature of qualitative and interdisciplinary research and its
applications for research in other fields, and outlines the
presented work. Part II, Approaching Qualitative Research in
Analytical Psychology, examines postmodernism and the value a
Jungian perspective offers, and introduces Jung's correspondence as
an emerging resource. Part III, Research on Symbolic Aspects of the
Psyche, looks at archetypal theory and cultural complex theory.
Part IV, Research on Consciousness and Emotion, presents chapters
on meditation and the spectrums of emotion in mythologies,
philosophy, Analytical Psychology, and the neurosciences. Part V, A
Complex Systems Approach to the Psyche, addresses research on
synchronicity, the geometry of individuation, and complexity,
ecology, and symbolism. Part VI, Cross-Cultural Research, contains
chapters concerning transcendence, psychosocial transformation,
psychological infrastructure, and cultural complexes and cultural
identity. Part VII concludes the volume by setting directions for
potential areas of future study and collaboration. Each chapter
provides an overview of research in a specific area and closes with
potential directions for future investigation. The book will enable
practitioners and researchers to evaluate the empirical status of
their concepts and methods and, where possible, set new directions.
It also presents the significance of contemporary Analytical
Psychology and offers opportunities for cross-discipline
collaboration and fertilization. This book will be essential
reading for analytical psychologists in practice and in training,
academics and students of Analytical Psychology and post-Jungian
ideas, and academics and students of other disciplines seeking to
integrate methods from Analytical Psychology into their research.
It is complemented by its companion volume, Research in Analytical
Psychology: Empirical Research.
