Jungian Odyssey VIII

This volume ensues from the Jungian Odyssey retreat, held in 2010 near Switzerland's legendary Rutli Meadow. In these remarkable papers, trust and betrayal are interwoven to forge new patterns in identity formation. Illuminating the motifs as an archetypal pair, the authors amplify their bearing for private and collective life as well as for clinical practice: Self-trust and trust in others are essential to our sense of a unified and on-going existence. But trust can be blind-leading to unconscious self-betrayal and betrayal of others. Thus to betray, or to suffer betrayal, emerge as pathways to psychological renewal and individuation. Authors include: Diane Cousineau Brutsche, John Desteian, Deborah Egger-Biniores, Allan Guggenbuhl, Donald Kalsched, Doris Lier, Christian Roesler, Judith Savage, Jody Schlatter, Murray Stein, Robin van Loben Sels.
