About this journal

Aims and scope

Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche is an international quarterly published by the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, one of the oldest institutions in America dedicated to Jungian studies and analytic training. Founded in 1979 by John Beebe under the title The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, Jung Journal has evolved from a local journal of book and film reviews to one that attracts readers and contributors worldwide -- from the Academy, the arts, and from Jungian analyst-scholars.

Featuring peer-reviewed scholarly articles, poetry, art, book and film reviews Jung Journal offers a dialogue between culture—as reflected in art, literature, science, and world events—and contemporary Jungian views of the dynamic relationship between the cultural and personal aspects of the human psyche. Sometimes scholarly, sometimes provocative, always creative, the content of Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche hopes to stimulate deeper thought and reflection on psychological, philosophical, artistic, and spiritual themes. Examples of recent articles span a broad spectrum of Jungian and post-Jungian thought: “Eagles and Jaguars: Archetypes and Myths in Gang Entrenched Latinx Men” by Abner Flores, “Relating to the Loser Complexity” by Michael E. Reding, “Amazing Grace” by Linda Carter, “Eat my Flesh, Drink my Blood: Archetypal Elements in the QAnon Conspiracy” by Jim Kline, “Decoding Toni’s Stone: C.G. Jung’s Memorial for Toni Wolff” by Kevin B. Turner and Chia-Wei Yang, “Encounters in the Silent Land of COVID-19 Quarantine: Art and Literature” by Caterina Vezzoli and Livia Di Stefano, and “Psychotherapy in the Shadow of Shame: The Polish Experience of Institutionalized Homo-, Bi-, and Transphobia” by Daniel Bak. Special issues have featured major themes such as the visual arts; the clinical experience; reflections on AIDs, otherness, and the Jung Institute; and a rescuing and retaining of persona in Alane Sauder MacGuire’s final work. Upcoming themes include the spiritual psyche and the immigration experience.

Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche is a peer reviewed journal in which articles that are submitted for publication are double anonymized peer reviewed, meaning that neither the reviewer nor the author is known to one another. Commentary that is submitted to the editor from the peer reviewers is synthesized and given to the author from the Editor of the journal under her name.
