Mary Ann Mattoon

In this book, Mary Ann Mattoon has distilled much of Jung's large and complex body of work into a comprehensive, systematic and empirically based presentation of Jung's major concepts and their applications to daily life.

The Fourteenth Congress for Analytical Psychology was held August 23-28, 1998 in the ancient city of Florence, Italy. The theme, Destruction and Creation: Personal and Cultural Transformations, is especially appropriate to the Italian setting, with that nation's history of destruction, both from nature and from human activity, and its tradition “ especially in Florence “ of creative individuals and institutions. The theme is fitting, also, to the context of Jungian psychology, with its show more emphasis on these and other pairs of opposites, with their integral role in psychic wholeness. Acknowledging, also, that destruction is indispensable to creation, some Jungians prefer the term creative unconscious to the traditional collective unconscious. Source: Amazon show less

With an all-encompassing theme, The Transcendent Function: Individual and Collective Aspects, The Twelfth International Congress for Analytical Psychology was convened in Chicago on August 23, 1992. A wide range of papers and presentations elucidated diverse approaches to the roles played by symbols in analysis, their relationships to one another and their beholders, and possibilities for transcendence.
