Synopsis Kabbalistic Visions by : Sanford L. Drob

In 1944, C. G. Jung experienced a series of visions which he later described as "the most tremendous things I have ever experienced." Central to these visions was the "mystic marriage as it appears in the Kabbalistic tradition", and Jung’s experience of himself as "Rabbi Simon ben Jochai," the presumed author of the sacred Kabbalistic text, the Zohar. Kabbalistic Visions explores Jung’s 1944 Kabbalistic visions, the impact of Jewish mysticism on Jungian psychology, Jung’s archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic symbolism, and his claim late in life that a Hasidic rabbi, the Maggid of Mezhirech, anticipated his entire psychology. This book places Jung’s encounter with the Kabbalah in the context of the earlier visions and meditations of his Red Book, his abiding interests in Gnosticism and alchemy, and what many regard to be his Anti-Semitism and flirtation with National Socialism. Kabbalistic Visions is the first full-length study of Jung and Jewish mysticism in any language and the first book to present a comprehensive Jungian/archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic symbolism.

Synopsis Judaism and Jungian Psychology by : J. Marvin Spiegelman

There has been a significant amount of commentary about C.G. Jung who was, on the one hand, thought to harbour anti-Semitic sentiment, and, on the other hand, a friend and teacher of many Jews. His school of psychology has had a large Jewish following throughout the world, including Israel. J. Marvin Speigelman uses the works of Jung to foster a dialogue between Judaism and Christianity. He demonstrates the parallels between Jung's thought and classic Kabbalistic views on the masculine and feminine aspects of divinity and all life. Judaism and Jungian Psychology is intended to supplement the work of Martin Buber and Eric Fromm in this area of biblical research.

Synopsis The Relationship between C. G. Jung and Erich Neumann Based on Their Correspondence by : Micha Neumann

With the rise of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist Party in Germany, Erich Neumann, who had just finished his medical studies, was forbidden, as were all his Jewish colleagues, from completing his final practicum year and obtaining his medical degree. He took his small family and left Germany in 1933 to work with C. G. Jung in Switzerland. In 1934, young Micha and his mother immigrated to Palestine, and Erich followed them several months later. He established himself as a Jungian analyst and began writing in German about his Jewish experience and Jungian ideas, while keeping up a lifelong correspondence with Jung. Micha Neumann, himself a psychiatrist, offers us a personal glimpse into the complicated relationship between his father, Erich Neumann, and C. G. Jung. Whereas Freud was the elder in his relationship with Jung, in the relationship between Jung and Erich Neumann, Jung was the elder. Micha Neumann, who learned of the letters only after both his parents were gone, comments: “I remember how my father spoke about Jung, whom he adored and loved. When I read the correspondence between them, I could compare the father-son relationship between Jung and Neumann, which was very fruitful and positive, where Freud’s attitude toward his young disciple Jung was negative and castrating.” Based on the letters of Jung and Neumann, which have been recently published, along with the impressions Micha Neumann gleaned from his parents, this book provides a framework for this correspondence and provides additional insight into a rich, personal dimension of their complicated relationship. Micha Neumann studied medicine, specializing in psychiatry, in Zurich and in Jerusalem, completing his residency training at Shalvata Mental Health Center. He taught psychiatry and psychoanalysis in Tel Aviv; in 1985 he was appointed professor pf psychiatry and, a year later, medical director at Shalvata. He worked as a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist at the Israel Psychoanalytic Institute, where he also served as a training analyst. He retired in 1997 but maintains a private practice.

Synopsis Anti-Semitism and Analytical Psychology by : Daniel Burston

Winner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Applied Book 2021 Carl Jung angrily rejected the charge that he was an anti-Semite, yet controversies concerning his attitudes towards Jews, Zionism and the Nazi movement continue to this day. This book explores Jung’s ambivalent relationship to Judaism in light of his career-changing relationship and rupture with Sigmund Freud and takes an unflinching look at Jung’s publications, public pronouncements and private correspondence with Freud, James Kirsch and Erich Neumann from 1908 to 1960. Analyzing the religious and racial, Christian and Muslim, high-brow and low-brow varieties of anti-Semitism that were characteristic of Jung’s time and place, this book examines how Muslim anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism intensified following the Balfour Declaration (1917), fostering the resurgence of anti-Semitism on the Left since the fall of the Soviet Empire. It urges readers to be mindful of the new and growing threats to the safety and security of Jewish people posed by the resurgence of anti-Semitism around the world today. This book explores the history of the controversy concerning Jung’s anti-Semitism both before and after the publication of Lingering Shadows: Jungians, Freudians and Anti-Semitism (1991), and invites readers to reflect on the relationships between Judaism, Christianity and Zionism, and between psychoanalysis and analytical psychology, in new and challenging ways. It will be of considerable interest to psychoanalysts, historians and all those interested in the history of analytical psychology, anti-Semitism and interfaith dialogue.

Synopsis The Analyst and the Rabbi by : Murray Stein

A meeting between C.G. Jung and Rabbi Leo Baeck took place in Zurich in October 1946 at the Savoy Hotel Baur en Ville. Very little is actually known about this meeting. There are no extant notes or reports from the principals indicating what was said or discussed. There was no secretary present taking down minutes of the conversation. What is known from the few documents attesting to this meeting is that it took place at Jung’s request and that Baeck did not wish to meet with Jung. The play is an imaginative construction of what might have happened in this historic meeting of two great men. Murray Stein, Ph.D., is a training and supervising Jungian psychoanalyst at ISAPZURICH and has a private practice in Zurich, Switzerland. He is the author of Jung’s Map of the Soul and other books and articles. Henry Abramovitch Ph.D., is training analyst and founding President of Israel Institute of Jungian Psychology. He is Professor Emeritus at Tel Aviv University Medical School and former President of Israel Anthropology Association. He is the author of Brothers and Sisters: Myth and Reality as well as numerous articles and book chapters. He lives and practices in Jerusalem.
