Jungian psychology's contributions to the psychosocial

Jungian psychology has historically highlighted interiority and downplayed the outer-facing dimensions of psyche. I am interested in making efforts to counteract this one-sidedness.

Key words: psychosocial
Open to supervise

Jung and Simondon

I am interested in researching the fertile links between French philosopher Gilbert Simondon, who wrote extensively about individuation and C G Jung for whom individuation was a central notion.

Key words: Transindividuation
Open to supervise

Affect in Analytical Psychology

Affect is an underesearched arena within Analytical Psychology. My sense is that it can provide an important lens for the examination of the trans-individual dimension of psychic existence.

Key words: affect
Open to supervise
