All change, even change for the better, tends to involve some disruptions and some irregularities. Such are the inevitable ‘teething problems’. Or, to follow the formulation of Mary Williams, in the shortest and most succinct paper published in this journal in 1983 (Vol. 28, No. 1), we might say that any new deintegration nearly always provokes also some disintegration.
This is just a preamble to draw attention to, and to admit and make sense of, the fact that there have been two or three mishaps in the printing and publication of two or three papers in the Journal. The most glaring of these was the omission in the April 1990 issue of one whole page from Jef Dehing's paper, ‘Jung and knowledge: from gnosis to praxis’. In order to compensate the author, as well as the readers of his paper, we decided to republish the whole paper in the present issue. But since Dehing's paper actually fits better into this number of the Journal, because several of the papers included here also deal with Jung's interest in and concern with matters religious and spiritual, it is left to us editors, printers and publishers, as well as to the readers of this Journal to judge whether this sequence of error and compensation is perhaps the result of a benign synchronicity.
However, we shall, of course, try to continue to publish this Journal with our usual care, diligence and reasonableness, as far as possible rather than get to rely on the goodwill of fate.
