Jung Journal: Culture and Psyche is a quarterly, international, peer-reviewed interdisciplinary periodical published by The C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. As a forum devoted to depth psychology, it fosters creative dialogue, exploration, and evolution of topics of relevance to analytical psychology, the arts and humanities, and contemporary culture. Through articles, reviews, interviews, poetry, and various art forms, the Journal’s mission is to plumb the mysterious depths of the psyche both within the individual and in the larger world. Highlighting Jung and the post-Jungians who have advanced analytical psychology, we are deeply committed to exploration of the arts, the creative process, and the prospective aspects of psychological process. While the Journal, founded in 1979 as the San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, originally focused exclusively on reviews of psychological literature, it has evolved over time to expand its purview to include not only pieces relevant to the arts, but also articles that are theoretical, personal, and clinical along with reviews and conversations with leading professionals in relevant fields. Each issue features an invited poet or group of poems focused on a specific theme.
Sometimes scholarly, sometimes provocative, always creative, Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche hopes to stimulate deeper thought and reflection on psychological, philosophical, artistic, and spiritual themes.
Examples of recent articles span a broad spectrum of Jungian and post-Jungian thought: Craig Stephenson’s “Borges Reading Jung”; Brooke Laufer’s three-part series on the Infanticidal Mother; Henry Abramovitch’s two-part article “The World Broke Up into Splinters: Naomi Nir’s Account of Her Analysis with Erich Neumann and Emma Jung”; Warren Sibilia’s “The Jung-Hisamatsu Dialogue”; Suzanne’s Short’s Gravida-award-winning “Who Shall Soothe These Feverish Children”; Elizabeth Schofield-Bickford’s “Searching for Mother: The Case of Pearl”; Audrey Punnett’s conversation with Robert Bosnak; Janice Teece’s interview with Terry Iacuzzo, “Beyond Synchronicity: Tarot, Compassion, and Empathy with the World and Beyond”; and Robert Tyminski’s “Perimeters that Shape Who We Are.” Jung Journal has featured poetry from Pulitzer-Prize-winning poet Forrest Gander along with Kim Addonizio, Ama Codjoe, Meredith Bergmann, Brenda Hillman, John Skoyles, Bruce Smith, former US Poet Laurate Robert Hass, Naomi Shahib Nye, and many others. Special issues have featured major themes such as the child, dreams, and myths and fairy tales.
