William McGuire - Böcker

Based on the Tavistock Lectures of 1930, one of Jung's most accessible introductions to his work.

Unavailable for many years the famous Freud/Jung Letters are now back in print. As historical documents the letters reflect the early struggles of Freud and Jung in gaining acceptance for analysis. The two exchange candid opinions on their colleagues, plan strategies for the advancement of their cause and, most importantly, share their experiences with patients and with the reading that led them to new scientific realisations. The decline of the correspondence documents Jung's increasing reluctance to accept the entire Freudian code, and the growing bitterness that led them to the mutual decision to end the correspondence and the relationship.The Freud/Jung Letters reveal two of the twentieth century's greatest minds at work.

Based on the Tavistock Lectures of 1930, one of Jung's most accessible introductions to his work.

This collection of papers by William J. McGuire reports research on the phenomenal self, revealing how we selectively perceive ourselves and other complex stimuli in terms of distinctive or atypical features, often noticing what is missing rather than what is there. The content, structure, and processing of thought systems surrounding the self and other complex stimuli are shown to function by balancing logical consistency, realistic coping, and hedonic gratification. Attitude change and social influence processes are described, with particular attention given to the personality correlates of persuasability, how beliefs can be immunized against persuasion, how persuasive communications affect beliefs, and how people can be persuaded by Socratic questioning that does not give them new information but rather directs their attention to information they already have. Also reported are findings on language and thought, psychology and history, and techniques of creative thinking in psychology and other fields.

This lively, intimate, sometimes disrespectful, but always knowledgeable history of the Bollingen Foundation confirms its pervasive influence on American intellectual life. Conceived by Paul and Mary Mellon as a means of publishing in English the collected works of C. G. Jung, the Foundation broadened to encompass scholarship and publication in a remarkable number of fields. Here are wonderful portraits of the central figures, including the Mellons, Jung himself, Heinrich Zimmer, Joseph Campbell, D. T. Suzuki, Natacha Rambova, Vladimir Nabokov, Gershom Scholem, Herbert Read, and Kurt and Helen Wolff.

For C G Jung, 1925 was a watershed year. He turned fifty, visited the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and the tribesmen of East Africa, published his first book on the principles of analytical psychology meant for the lay public, and gave the first of his formal seminars in English. This title deals with the seminar.

Makes the Freud/Jung correspondence accessible to a general readership at a time of renewed critical and historical reevaluation of the documentary roots of modern psychoanalysis.

Explores the fantasy system of Frank Miller, the young American woman whose account of her poetic and vivid mental images helped lead him to his redefinition of libido while encouraging his explorations in mythology.

A record of C G Jung's publications in German and in English. It records through 1990 the initial publication of each original work by Jung, each translation into English, and significant new editions, including paperbacks and publications in periodicals. It provides information about the origin of works that were first conceived as lectures.

Jung’s groundbreaking seminar on the foundations of analytical psychologyFor C. G. Jung, 1925 was a watershed year. He turned fifty, visited the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and the tribesmen of East Africa, and published his first book on the principles of analytical psychology meant for general readers. He gave the first of his formal seminars in English, conducted in weekly meetings during the spring and summer. Analytical Psychology is the authoritative edition of this illuminating seminar. It begins with a notably personal account of the development of his thinking from 1896 up to his break with Freud in 1912. It moves on to discussions of the basic tenets of analytical psychology—the collective unconscious, typology, the archetypes, and the anima/animus theory. In his elucidation of the theory, Jung analyzes in detail the symbolism in H. Rider Haggard’s She and other novels. Besides these literary paradigms, he makes use of case material and examples from the fine arts.

Jung’s landmark seminar on dream analysisPresented here is the first of C. G. Jung’s extended English seminars, given to a relatively large group of auditors at weekly meetings from November 1928 to June 1930. While the basis of this seminar is a series of thirty dreams of a male patient of Jung’s, the commentary ranges associatively over a broad expanse of Jung’s learning and experience. Dream Analysis offers an up-close view of Jung the teacher and clinician, illuminating his method of dream analysis through amplification.

The enormous impact of both clinical and basic research on the field of breast cancer can now be readily appreciated. It is the purpose of this new series of books to bring together the recent major advances in our understanding of the disease. The first volume is devoted exclusively to treatment. It is written by scholars who are actually investigating the biological principles which underlie our current approaches to therapy. For example, countless articles have appeared proposing some ad­ vantage for one surgical approach to primary breast cancer compared with another. The new message is that these arguments for the superior­ ity of one surgical approach over a.nother are valid only in that minority of patients whose disease is absolutely confined to the primary tumor site. It is far less important which surgical approach is selected for the larger group of patients who present with occult distant metastases. The whole subject of adjuvant therapy is still in its infancy. We have progressed from single-agent adjuvant chemotherapy to combined modality regimens consisting of combination chemotherapy plus im­ munotherapy, plus radiotherapy, plus endocrine therapy. It will un­ doubtedly take many years to sort out the proper use of these agents.

Breast cancer continues to be the focus of intense basic and clinical research. In Valurne 1 of this series we dealt exclusively with topics concerned with therapy. In the present Valurne 2, we turn our attention to the experimental biology which is the foundation for our understand­ ing of problems concerned with breast cancer etiology, mechanisms of hormone action, cell kinetics, experimental chemotherapy, and markers of tumor burden. The contributors to the volume are all noted scholars who are personally investigating these problems. The first chapter addresses the question, do hormones cause breast cancer? Segaloff provides us with a rational up-to-date overview of the existing data. He concludes that hormones by themselves are not tumor initiators but rather alter the hast environment so that other carcinogens are effective. lt is pointed out that the selection of the modeltest system is critical; one can almost assure any desired result by choosing an ap­ propriately biased test system. The question of the role of viruses in the etiology of human breast cancer remains unanswered despite elegant studies in mause systems.
