Molly Tuby has collected a series of articles published in Harvest or delivered to the Analytical Psychology Club, London. The introduction, by Gerhard Adler, describes Jung's work with the brevity and clarity that can come only with mastery, though I doubt whether this is sufficient for the reader unacquainted with Jung to get the most out of the rest of the book. Five of the thirteen authors knew Jung and another three were trained in Zürich, so the title has a certain authenticity. Two of the authors threw the I Ching before being able to start writing. Molly Tuby arriving at Hexagram 27 and Rosemary Gordon at Hexagram 20, both of which were significant for their articles on ‘The opposites and the healing power of symbols’ and ‘Jung's concept of synchronicity' respectively. At first glance, it was difficult to see if these papers had anything else in common, but I think it is accurate to say, in the face of little editorial guidance, that, with one or two exceptions, they deal with analytical psychology pointed outwards to the world. There is case material, but not much.
Marie-Louise von Franz contributes an essay on ‘Jung and society’ (which serves as an introduction to the more specific article by David Holt on ‘Jung and Marx’) in which she talks about the importance to society as a whole of each one of us working on our shadow and withdrawing our projections from others. She thus clearly demarcates individuation from unproductive individualism. Her illustrations range from the religious projections of the Middle Ages to modern field work with a group of Macaque monkeys, one member of which dares to individuate. She also mentions the collective pluralisation of the self which gave rise to our own Dark Ages—the rise of National Socialism in Germany. To fall back into the collective self means its disintegration in the individual. Mass possession and mass psychosis result if there are not enough conscious individuals in touch with the self.
