COVER; CONTENTS; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; INTRODUCTION; Phase One: The Political Jung; 1. CONCERNING FREUD AND JUNG ON INTERNATIONAL POLITICS AND WAR; 2. JUNG AND HIS POLITICS; 3. JUNG ON INTERNATIONAL POLITICS AND THE CAUSES OF WAR; Phase Two: Exploring the Theory; 4. FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO 'THE COLLECTIVE': EXAMINING JUNG'S PROGRESSION FROM CLINICIAN TO GRAND THEORIST; 5. THE LAYERED MODEL OF THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS; 6. ARCHETYPES: 'TOWARDS THE DISTANT GOAL OF A GENETIC PSYCHOLOGY'; 7. THE EFFECT OF THE ARCHETYPES IN THE POLITICAL ARENA; Phase Three: When Theory Meets History.
Summary: In the thirties Jung was at the height of his powers and found himself swept up in the international politics of his day. At this time he was president of what was to become the International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy. As a consequence of Hitler's rise, Jung and his ideas were placed in the centre of a whirlwind of theoretical and political controversy. These chaotic times led him to comment widely on political events and saw his most extensive attempt to explain these events in terms of his theories of the collective and his use of the archetype of Wotan to explain Nazi German.
