Watch Christi Taylor-Jones' Presentation at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles
as she discusses her book Touched by Suicide: A Personal and Psychological Perspective on the Longing for Death and Rebirth
Touched by Suicide by Christi Taylor-Jones delves into the very personal, yet archetypal, reasons why people choose to end their life, or think about doing so.
Although depression and mental illness are often cited as motivating factors, Taylor-Jones contends that anger, shame and self-hatred are greater contributors. Anxiety and impulsivity are also implicated. Underlying the suicidal urge, however, is a deep, and often unconscious, longing to end suffering through transformation and rebirth. Lacking the ability to undergo that process symbolically leaves no choice but to enact it literally. |

The Jean Shinoda Bolen Memoir
Ever Widening Circles & Mystical Moments: Autobiographical, Historical, Spiritual,
Psychological & Political
Ever Widening Circles and Mystical Moments is a long-awaited memoir by Jean Shinoda Bolen MD that invites readers to journey through a life interwoven with personal experiences and historical events. The book begins with Bolen's childhood, marked by her Japanese American family's forced relocation from California following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This experience—along with her early eye surgery and frequent moves to different states and schools where she was perceived as an “exotic other”—deeply impacted Bolen's worldview and led her to pursue a career as an author, activist, psychiatrist, and Jungian analyst.

| | | Eranos – A Play
Eranos: A Play is an imaginative account of a meeting at the Eranos Conference in 1947. Carl Jung, Aniela Jaffé, Erich Neumann, Rabbi Leo Baeck, and the founder of Eranos, Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn, are gathered on the grounds of Eranos where the stillness of the setting under the trees and the beauty of the lake and surrounding mountains create a magical aura.
Guided by the imagination of the authors, the play is deeply informed by historical sources and deals with questions such as: “What is evil?”, “How does one recover from the trauma of war?”, and “Is there a need for a new myth for our time?” |

Brothers & Sisters Myth and Reality
Exploring all 33 brother-sister stories in Scripture, author Henry Abramovitch examines the developmental sequence within brotherhood/sisterhood as we struggle to find a place for each other. His knowledge of Indian epics, linguistics, anthropology and years of clinical experience deepen the work, and so highlights the crucial role sibling dynamics plays in the formation of our identity, in the transference and especially in the process of individuation. |
| | | The Serpent and the Staff/ The Mermaid and the Diver: Stalking the Roots of Psychoanalysis
Within a field which ostensibly aims its focus on the unknowability of a realm below the surface, the unconscious, but which continues its tradition of basing itself in a rational mode “above ground,” ego consciousness, this book aims to “stalk the roots” of the psychoanalytic enterprise in a ground breaking manner.
