Journal of Analytical Psychology

'To stay abreast of what is new and important in analytical psychology, from the international perspective, you must read the JAP.'
Murray Stein, PhD

'The Journal is one of the oldest and most widely respected periodicals within the Jungian community. Its original articles both in English and in translations from other languages make it the foremost Jungian clinical journal in the world. Its book reviews and abstracts are a necessity for anyone wishing to keep abreast within the field.'
Thomas B. Kirsch, M.D.

'The Journal of Analytical Psychology offers a broad spectrum of most recent insights in Jungian psychology - informative and provocative.'
Verena Kast, Professor of Psychology, University of Zurich

'The Journal is highly stimulating. It is not only the main organ of the 'developmental strand' of Analytical Psychology, publishing high quality clinical papers, I appreciate also its openness for other Jungian approaches to clinical papers and cultural issues and, last but not least, its informative and up to date book review section.'
Mario Jacoby, Training Analyst, Zurich

David Tacey, PhD, associate professor in the School of Critical Enquiry, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia, has generously given his time to the Herculean task of reviewing all fifteen books emanating from the Fay Lectures in Analytical Psychology endowed by Carolyn and Ernest Fay and held yearly in College Station, Texas. To facilitate reading, David has grouped the reviews to some extent thematically rather than in chronological order across two issues of the Journal

In the first issue, you will find eight reviews including books by Murray Stein, James Hollis, Roberto Gambini, Stanton Marlan, Sonoko Toyoda, Claire Douglas, Marion Woodman and Polly Young-Eisendrath.

In the second issue you will find seven reviews including books by Verena Kast, John Beebe, Anthony Stevens, Hayao Kawai, Luigi Zoja, Jan Wiener and Joseph Cambray.

We hope that you will appreciate this survey of a body of work by some of the well-known analyst/writers in our field today.
