'This outstanding collection of papers is a unique contribution to the multifaceted theme of emotions by containing research-based, theoretical and clinical contributions of exceptional quality. Each chapter adds innovative contributions to the interdisciplinary study of emotions, one of the most important, yet often ignored, topics for the individual and the community in today's world. The publication is highly recommendable for Jungian analysts, psychotherapists as well as academic researchers, and it should be an indispensable part of any Jungian training program.'Misser Berg, Jungian Analyst, Denmark, President of the IAAP'It may be argued that Jung’s theoretical corpus is largely grounded in a psychology of emotion emanating from the collective receptacle of humanity mediated through imagination and desire. The Editors of these two intriguing volumes situate the roles of affect and feeling into our embodied tapestry of psychic existence as a living holistic process that animates soul. Here internationally renowned scholars and clinicians examine the nuances of emotion in society and the clinic with interdisciplinary rigour. This is the most comprehensive compilation of essays in Jungian studies to date that sheds light on this often-underrepresented dimension in analytical psychology.'Prof. Jon Mills, psychoanalyst, author of End of the World: Civilization and Its Fate'Essential reading for clinicians and academics interested in the vital role emotions play in our lives. The survey of changing attitudes to difficult and dissociated emotions is innovative and thought-provoking. As a coherent and well-edited whole, the collection engages with psychosocial dimensions of mental health with socioeconomic change in mind. A notable Jungian and post-Jungian contribution.' Andrew Samuels, Former Professor of Psychosocial Studies, University of Essex, UK
