C. G. Jung and the Jewish Soul A Dynamism between Psyche and Religiosity

The author narrates the development of his relationship with his Jewish roots and its evolution as a form of religiosity. He shows how this process was nurtured by an immersion in Jungian psychology and how, in turn, the Jewish Kabbalistic tradition can inform the understanding and clinical application of analytical psychology. The history of Jung's relationship with Judaism is explored, particularly during the rise of Nazi Germany. The paper includes a discussion of Jung's application of a Christianized interpretation of the symbolism in Mysterium Coniunctiones that could be amplified by considering it through a kabbalistic lens.
