Thomas Kirsch is one of the foremost architects of the contemporary
Jungian scene and has influenced the evolution and organization of
analytical psychology worldwide. His works on the history of
Jungian analysis and his memoir of a "Jungian life" have been
widely appreciated and this book contains important examples of
these interests. Gathered together in The Selected Works are
Kirsch's original and humane contributions to diverse areas, such
as: training and the dynamics of analytical institutions; clinical
themes in Jungian analysis and how these differ from what typically
happens in psychoanalytic treatment; as well as a continuation of
his remarkable work into the personalities and prejudices that
characterize the profession of Jungian analysis. As Andrew Samuels
observes in his foreword, "In these chapters, we see Tom's
humanity, generosity and flexibility". Given the multifarious
dynamics of the training community, Kirsch accepts that things can
sometimes go wrong, and he is open about his experiences in this
regard. For Kirsch, rather than a simple question of
psychologically damaged people becoming analysts, the figure of the
"Wounded Healer" is always present in depth psychology. Kirsch is
an exceptionally gifted communicator and several of these chapters
stem from lectures and conference presentations. However, behind
the appearance of informality emerges, not only a formidable
intellect at work, but a warm and compassionate perspective on the
human condition. The Selected Works will be of vital interest to
analysts, therapists, trainees, academics, and students working in
the areas of Jungian analysis and Jungian studies around the world.
