Relational Jung - Challenging the Inward Orientation of Analytical Psychology

Within this fascinating new volume, a group of prominent Jungian writers seek to explore the apparent contradiction between two aspects of Jungian thinking: one that points in the direction of a genuinely radical relational psychology, and another which seems to struggle to engage meaningfully with the psychosocial dimension.
