PREFACE

Jung Today is a project on the recent developments in Analytical Psychology, which
gathers together contributions by internationally known professionals. It includes theoretical
and clinical unpublished papers that are prevalently written by Italian Analytical
Psychologists, together with some contributions by French, German, British and American
Jungian analysts. The book is intended to address Psychoanalysts, Psychiatrists, Child
Psychotherapists and Social Workers.
Jung Today is conceived in two volumes: volume one is on adulthood and volume two is
on childhood and adolescence.
The aim of volume one is to highlight the fertility of C.G. Jung’s Analytical Psychology
and how basic Jungian concepts have been recognized by and integrated into modern
psychology.
The first volume includes both theoretical and clinical contributions applied to adulthood;
each chapter focuses on the fundamental themes of the analytical process, from its historical
foundations up to the most recent developments. What emerges from the various
contributions is the value of the Jungian and post-Jungian approach in the treatment of so-
called “new psychopathologies” in a broad sense, such as addictive behaviour and narcissistic
disorders of various kinds, as well as other severe clinical conditions in the area of psychotic
diseases.
Volume Two focuses on Infancy, and Childhood and Adolescence. Similarly to Volume
One on Adulthood, no paper has formerly been published. Up-to-date reflections in each
chapter highlight and develop cross fertilizations between Analytical Psychology and
different models of Psychoanalysis.
Theoretically, core issues such as Transference and Countertransference, the
development of Identity and Sexuality, and the analytic Setting are thoroughly examined in
the light of Jungian and post-Jungian theories in comparison with contemporary
psychoanalytic views. Theory, despite its appropriate and constant development, can never be
detached from its clinical applications.
Technical issues applied to the analytic work with children and adolescents are described
with as much careful detail as possible. Specific clinical topics, such as hyperkinesias or
obsessional disorders, and developmental breakdowns are examined in this light.
On a final note, the applications of the method of Infant Observation to a Jungian
understanding of psychic development in infants and young children, the issue of in-vitro
fertilization, and the infant-parent therapeutic consultation are also treated in this volume.
