"Real liberation comes not from glossing over or repressing painful states of feeling, but only from experiencing them to the full." (Jung, CW 9i, p. 587)

1st Edition Psychological and Philosophical Studies of Jung’s Teleology The Future-Orientation of Mind Edited By Garth Amundson Copyright 2024 www.routledge.com/Psychological-and-Philosophical-Studies-of-Jungs-Teleology-The-Future-Orientation/Amundson/p/book/9781032536248This important new volume addresses an underappreciated dimension of Jung’s work, his concept of the teleology, or “future-orientation”, of psychic reality. The work, authored by an international group of Jungian scholars, expands upon the socio-cultural, psychological, therapeutic, and philosophical import of this key pillar of the Jungian oeuvre, offering a compelling alternative to current, culturally dominant ideas about how change occurs. The book addresses varied aspects of his teleological thought generally, and its application to the psychotherapeutic endeavor specifically, engaging Freudian, neo-Freudian, and related theoretical orientations in an informed dialogue about the critical issue of the emergent unfolding of subjectivity in treatment. This is an illuminating read for those interested in the study of Jungian theory, psychoanalysis, social psychology, religion, transpersonal psychology, indigenous wisdom traditions, and philosophical metapsychology.

“Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s consciousness, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected, and is liable to burst forth suddenly in a moment of unawareness.”1.) Drawing a distinction between the personal Shadow (those qualities we prefer not to know about) and the Shadow of a nation or a community (that which opposes our shared values, the dark side unacknowledged aspects of a society), Jung points out that the “psychopathology of the masses is rooted in the psychology of the individual”2.), and that any real change in the psychology of a nation or culture lies with the individual. Without knowing our personal shadow, we will merely continue to project our disowned qualities onto the ‘other’. The archetype of War, an ever-present reality throughout human history, occupied Jung’s attention in his early work. In the Preface to “On the psychology of the unconscious”, Jung suggests that the horrors of WWI forced “upon the attention of every thinking person the problem of the chaotic unconscious which slumbers uneasily beneath the ordered world of consciousness”, warning of what “lies in store for him if ever again he should be tempted to make his neighbour responsible for his own evil qualities”3.). He was proven right with WWII that followed 2 decades later. Outwardly we have intense horror at, and abhorrence of, the devastation and agony produced by our warring tendency, but Jung calls us to focus inward. Jung brings us back to ourselves, emphasizing that because we cannot bear the conflict within ourselves, we prefer to project our shadow onto others. “The great problems of humanity were never solved by general laws, but only through the regeneration of the attitude of individuals”. 4.) “The integration of unconscious contents is an individual act of realization, of understanding and moral evaluation. It is a most difficult task, demanding a high degree of ethical responsibility.”5.) Post Written by: Julie Manegold, Clinical Psychologist and Jungian Analyst. References: 1. Jung. C G.
