The War of the Gods in Addiction: Jung, AA and Archetypal Evil
By David Schoen, LCSW, MSSW, 2009
My book The War of the Gods in Addiction: Jung, AA and Archetypal Evil is in its second printing since 2009. It has been well received by the AA recovering community. I have presented on it all over America and in Ireland and Canada. My concept of Archetypal Evil/ Shadow has been a unique contribution to the nature of Alcoholism and Addiction. This book would be of interest to not only recovering individuals but also Jungians, Mental Health Professionals and the public at large. I wrote it in a way that would be accessible to both professionals and non-professionals.
Jungian Analysis
in a World on Fire
At the Nexus of Individual
and Collective Trauma
Edited By Laura Tuley, PhD,
and John White, PhD
This volume of essays, all authored by practicing Jungian psychoanalysts, examines and illuminates ways of working with individual analytic and therapeutic clients in the context of powerful and current collective forces, in the United States and beyond.
One of Carl Jung’s central achievements was his clear recognition that the psyche is a locus not only of individual and personal experiences but also of social, collective, and even cosmological experiences. This important insight on Jung’s part both opens broad vistas for psychoanalytic practice and poses potential challenges for the psychoanalytic practitioner attempting to understand and aid the individual client amidst the pressure of intense collective energies, especially amidst collective crises. Among the themes treated in this volume are principles of non-violence, environmental activism, feminism, ecological shifts due to the pandemic, the Chingada complex, mass shootings, industrial farming of animals, and death anxiety.
