Maidenbaum, Aryeh, editor. Jung and the Shadow of Anti-Semitism: Collected Essays. This important work is a revised, updated edition of Lingering Shadows: Jungians, Freudians, and Anti-Semitism, which presented articles that arose from the 1989 conferences in New York and Paris, where rumors of Jung’s anti-Semitism were first addressed. Prominent Jungian analysts examine both the historical merits of the rumors and the psychological implications of our interest in this matter. It’s a poignant and revealing look at how the Jungian community has reconciled the dichotomy of Jung-the-genius with Jung-the-person living in the society of his time. 320 pp. • 6” x 9” • ISBN: 0-89254-040-0 • Paper, $24.95
McClain, Ernest G. Myth of Invariance: The Origin of the Gods, Mathematics and Music from the Rg Veda to Plato. Plato insisted that music played a superior role in the education of the whole person, and McClain has taken this concept literally in order to break down the mysteries hidden within the philosophy. McClain shows how the unifying symbolism of music and number explain secrets from Babylon, Egypt, Greece and the Bible—secrets hidden for centuries. Illustrated. 1976. First paper edition 1985. 216 pp. • ISBN 0-89254-012-5 • Paper, $8.95
Perera, Sylvia Brinton. Celtic Queen Maeve and Addiction: An Archetypal Perspective. The author of the best-selling Descent to the Goddess: A Way of Initiation for Woman shows us once again how the stories and images of ancient mythology explain the depths of the psyche. The Irish Goddess Maeve represents the sacred vessel, and the mother of early infancy who mirrors and contains our raw, unmediated desires. Queen Maeve invites us to comprehend the wildness of the Celtic imagination and the watery depths of the psyche. Writing for those who have done battle with their own addiction, or with those of their loved ones or clients, Perera shows how the battle is suffered, fought, and how it can be won. 2001. 510 pp. • 6” x 9” • ISBN: 0-89254-057-5 • Paper, $29.95
Raff, Jeffrey. Jung and the Alchemical Imagination. An exciting work that uses alchemy to understand the three cornerstones of Jungian spirituality—the self, the transcendent function, and active imagination. Through the interpretation of alchemical imagery, Raff explains the nature of these three concepts and illustrates how they form a new model of contemporary Western spirituality. Illustrations. 2000. 304 pp. • ISBN 0-89254-045-1 • Paper, $18.95
Raff, Jeffrey & Linda Bonnington Vocatura. Healing the Wounded God: Finding Your Personal Guide on Your Way to Individuation and Beyond. Through creation myths and the mystical traditions of alchemy and Sufism, the authors explore the emergence of a new spiritual paradigm in which the divine seeks wholeness through and with us. They show how this is achieved through using Jung’s technique of active imagination work with a being that seems to exist independently in the realm beyond the psyche, or in what the authors term “the psychoid.” This being, the ally, challenges and yet gives us total support on the way to individuation. 2002. 244 pp. • 5 3/8” x 81/4” • ISBN 0-89254-063-X • Paper, $18.95
