Abstract
ABSTRACT This review of Terje Simonsen’s A Short History of (Nearly) Everything Paranormal focuses on Jung and his circle within the context of the history of the paranormal and contemporary paranormal studies. Both the book and review include a discussion of common Jungian topics such as archetypes, dreams, the collective unconscious, and transpersonal psychology. Pairing Jungian concepts with paranormal research, the reviewer describes the psyche as an expansive and, indeed, expanding field of experience and study. The review celebrates Jung’s openness to various worldviews while challenging Jungians to keep expanding their own understanding of Jung and his relevance to academic research.
期刊介绍:
Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche is an international quarterly published by the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, one of the oldest institutions in America dedicated to Jungian studies and analytic training. Founded in 1979 by John Beebe under the title The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, Jung Journal has evolved from a local journal of book and film reviews to one that attracts readers and contributors worldwide--from the Academy, the arts, and from Jungian analyst-scholars. Featuring peer-reviewed scholarly articles, poetry, art, book and film reviews, and obituaries, Jung Journal offers a dialogue between culture--as reflected in art.
