The Second Handbook of Jungian Psychology

The field of Jungian psychology has grown consistently over the last 20 years, with increasing awareness of its relevance to the issues faced in modern life. This definitive guide demonstrates how Jung’s ideas continue to resonate not only with mental health professionals seeking a more compassionate and creative approach to working with clients, but also with academics across a diverse range of disciplines.

With all new chapters The Second Handbook of Jungian Psychology builds on the strengths of the original Handbook that established it as a classic, while addressing the evolving realities and emerging concerns of the field. Featuring contributions from leading experts, the book offers fascinating insights into key topics, exploring them through the lens of Jung’s foundational theories, subsequent post-Jungian developments, contemporary perspectives, and future possibilities. This important guide to Jungian Psychology has been updated to explore contemporary cultural topics, such as climate change, race, gender and sexuality, and economic inequality.

With its comprehensive approach, this second volume serves as both a guide to the established principles of Jungian psychology and a roadmap for navigating its new frontiers. It is an essential resource for mental health professionals, researchers, and academics, as well as anyone interested in the transformative power and enduring relevance of Jungian thought.
