Jung, Psychology, Postmodernity explores points of confluence and,
more often, contradictions between Jungian and postmodern ideas.
Throughout the book Raya Jones examines how personal meaning
emerges in human activity. Jung addressed this in terms of symbol
formation, with particular attention to dreams, myths, art and
other fantasy productions. Postmodern psychologists tend to address
issues of meaning in terms of peoples self-understanding and
identity construction, with a focus on self-positioning in actual
conversation or on autobiographical narratives. Jones draws a line
of critical comparison between postmodern psychology and Jung's
descriptions of the symbolic dimension, myth, and the structure of
the psyche. The book culminates with an evaluation of Jung's
psychic energy concept, for which there is no direct counterpart in
postmodern psychology. Jung, Psychology, Postmodernity is an
original critique of two key moments in the history of psychology.
It will be welcomed by Jungians, as well as psychotherapists, and
students of psychology.
