Environmental Disasters and Collective Trauma

This issue explores the intimate connections between environmental disasters and collective trauma. It is becoming increasingly obvious that our relationship with nature has changed. While our ability to predict natural events has increased, our collective illusions of control are being eroded by global communications that confront us with detailed information and images of the damage wrought by such events, leaving us to recognize how fragile our communities really are. The intrusion of natural disasters into the human psyche stimulates an age–old anxiety about our place on the earth and activates our fear of catastrophic change.

American Soul:

A Cultural Narrative

American Soul delves into American rhetoric surrounding historical and current conditions and events to unearth an underlying cultural narrative or myth rooted in America's particular Judeo–Christian tradition. Exploring the birth and evolution of the nation, foreign policy, political tropes, and the challenges of Katrina, 9/11, Enron, and the financial meltdown, a cultural image emerges which runs counter to popularly accepted notions of the nation's core identity.

The Flight Into The Unconscious:

An Analysis of C.G. Jung's Psychology Project

Psychological analysis usually sets its sights upon the patient or upon cultural phenomena such as myths, literature, or works of art. The essays in this volume, by contrast, have another addressee, another subject matter-psychology itself. Deeply informed by Jung's insight regarding the discipline's lack of an objective vantage point outside and beyond the psyche, their Jungian author again and again turns Jung's contribution to psychology around upon itself in the spirit of an immanent critique.
