Repositioning Analytical Psychology

Repositioning Analytical Psychology reflects on the limits of Jungian thought and asks how analytical practice can remain ethically faithful once its metaphysical assurances are set aside. This book emerges from a sustained engagement with analytical psychology in dialogue with philosophy and theology. Through close readings of Jung it examines how psychological description repeatedly turns into ontological assertion, especially in relation to psyche, wholeness, evil, and individuation. Rather than proposing a new system, the book moves toward a destitutional approach: a disciplined relinquishment of inherited guarantees in order to remain open to what presents itself in the analytic encounter. Psychology is repositioned as an ethical and hermeneutic practice sustained without foundations or assurances.
