The Society of Analytical Psychology was founded in London in 1946 with the support of Jung himself. With its distinctive pluralistic approach to the key issues in analytical and psychotherapeutic practice the SAP has made a significant contribution to the history of psychotherapy. Contemporary Jungian Analysis brings together essays by leading practitioners in the SAP today. Students and teachers of analysis and psychotherapy will find within it a stimulating and fresh approach to many of the issues they face in training. The different perspectives offered on topics such as gender, infancy, transference, popular culture, dreams and active imagination, spiritual issues and training, constitute not only a rich resource but also a catalyst for ongoing debate in many centres round the world.
