When the Soul Remembers Itself Zusammenfassung

When the Soul Remembers Itself: Ancient Greece, Modern Psyche Thomas Singer (Private practice, USA)

Do the ancient Greek poets, playwrights, philosophers and mythologies have anything to say to modern human beings? Is their time finished, or do their insights have as much relevance to the human condition as they did 2,500 years ago? When the Soul Remembers Itself continues the exploration of the connections between ancient and modern psyche with a resounding affirmation of its ongoing relevance.

Uniquely combining poetry, drama and storytelling in a pioneering collection, an international selection of contributors each explore a character, myth or theme from ancient Greece in the context of its relevance to the modern psyche. Each author enters an imaginative dialogue that pieces and bridges together fragments of the past with the present, exploring themes such as initiation, war, love, paranoia, tragedy and the soul's journey through the vicissitudes of life on earth, through characters such as Ajax, Persephone, Orpheus, Electra, the Apostle Paul, Perpetua and Jocasta. Understanding myth is crucial in Jungian analysis, and by connecting the modern person with the age-old questions of life and death, the contributors bring truly archetypal narratives to life and speak to the human condition throughout the ages.

When the Soul Remembers Itself will be of great interest to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, classics, ancient religion, archetypal studies and mythology. As the contributors' conclusions apply to both contemporary theory and clinical practice, it will also appeal to Jungian analysts and psychotherapists in practice and training.

When the Soul Remembers Itself Bewertungen

In the new The Soul Remembers Itself, the latest in the acclaimed series, Ancient Greece, Modern Psyche, Singer and co-authors (re)present the narratives, dreams and parallel Olympian worlds from beyond the ancient looking glass. Never before as well presented and discussed, the work is a brilliant collection of Jungian reflections upon our modern condition. - Peter and Ileana Nomikos, The Petros M. Nomikos Conference Center, Santorini, Greece

Filtered through their classical scholarship and training in Analytical Psychology, the authors of When the Soul Remembers Itself articulate the mystery of how and why the world of ancient Greece still offers a meaningful way for modern men and women to make sense of the concerns, fears and ponderings about our common human condition and our place in the cosmos. This outstanding and unique volume is both timely and timeless in exploring the imaginal world shared by ancient Greece and modern psyche. - Baruch Gould, Emeritus Director of External Education, C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, USA

I danced with these authors in a collective 'rhythmo'. This is a wonderful work for the many people curious about the continuum between ancient Greece and modern psyche. Greek myth shows us what the soul has always yearned for. Today's fragmented and uprooted Greek society can find rebalancing and reparation from its classical era. The book demonstrates that the transgenerational crimes with which mythology is preoccupied also play out in today's suffering world and nature. - Sissy Lykou, lecturer in psychotherapy, Regents University, and dance movement psychotherapist, UK
