This is an annual journal for ‘intercommunication among those concerned with cultivating the inner life and relating it to the problems of our time’ (previously noticed in this Journal; 19, 2, p. 205). This number contains articles, poems and personal accounts of spiritual healing experiences. They are contributions made at the Haverford Conference (1974) on spiritual healing.
It also marks the centenary of Jung's birth and two articles may be of particular interest to readers of our journal. One is by the late Charles Baudouin: ‘Jung, the concrete man’. It is part of his book L'oeuvre de Jung . Baudouin gives a lively description of Jung's ‘jest and wit in his teaching’ and of Jung's ‘concreteness’ and ‘earth sense’ (Nietzsche) which became ‘reinforced… by his fertilising contacts with “primitive mentality” during his stay in Africa’.
The second article is by the editor, E. P. Kotschnig. She describes a meeting between the Quakers and Jung in which ‘Jung agreed with us on the affinity… between Quaker ideas and experiences and his own psychology’. She discusses in particular the parallel between the Quaker concept of the ‘Christ Within’ and Jung's symbol of the self.
