About this title

Synopsis

Up from Scapegoating is the first book that connects Jungian psychology and its usual focus on the individual and individual development to group theory and group development. Arthur Colman, a pioneer in developing group relations theory and practice in the United States, takes Jung's basic beliefs in the collective unconscious, individuation, and the shadow and shows their relevance to the problems of groups, institutions, and political systems. His insights and new methods are extremely important in a nuclear and environmental age where every individual's survival is hinged to the happenings or consciousness of a larger group.

About the Author

Jungian depth analyst, Harvard-educated physician, psychiatrist and author, Arthur D. Colman is an expert on scapegoating and what it often inspires: revenge. He is the author of nine nonfiction books, including the bestselling "Up from Scapegoating: Awakening Consciousness in Groups," and lectures and consults worldwide on issues of scapegoating and leadership transformation. 

A resident of Sausalito, CA, and professor of psychiatry at UCSF School of Medicine, Dr. Colman is also the author of the Revenge, Inc., series of psycho-thrillers, which includes "Cloud of Terns" and the newly released "Revenge of the Scapegoat." Based on real-life stories culled from his years of treating victims of emotional and physical abuse, the Revenge series allows Dr. Colman to explore the deeply rooted need to get even.
