Fay Lectures Book Series: 20th Anniversary

Texas A&M University Press has made a revolutionary move to make available online all books emanating from the Fay Lectures in Analytical Psychology endowed by Carolyn and Ernest Fay and held yearly in College Station, Texas. These full-text open access (i.e., ‘free’) digital editions can be located through the Press web site (tamupress.com) to anyone interested with the hope that previewing the material will motivate purchase of traditional paper-bound books. David Rosen, general editor of these books and McMillan Professor of Analytical Psychology at Texas A&M, notes that the purpose of the series has been to ‘further the ideas of C. G. Jung among students, faculty, therapists, and other citizens and to enhance scholarly activities related to analytical psychology’. The altruistic mission of this non-profit press is to select, enhance, publish, and disseminate knowledge as broadly as possible for the benefit of both scholarship and general public welfare. The Journal of Analytical Psychology is celebrating this laudable venture that is of benefit to the worldwide Jungian community by reviewing the fifteen Fay Series books1 now in print and available online. David Tacey, PhD, associate professor in the School of Critical Enquiry, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia, has generously given his time to the Herculean task of reviewing all fifteen books. To facilitate reading, David has grouped the reviews to some extent thematically rather than in chronological order. In this edition, you will find eight reviews including books by Murray Stein, James Hollis, Roberto Gambini, Stanton Marlan, Sonoko Toyoda, Claire Douglas, Marion Woodman and Polly Young-Eisendrath. You can look forward in another edition of the Journal later in 2010 to reviews of books by Verena Kast, John Beebe, Anthony Stevens, Hayao Kawai, Luigi Zoja, Jan Wiener and Joseph Cambray. We hope that you will appreciate this survey
