Boundaries of the soul : the practice of Jung's psychology : revised and updated

June Singer (1920 – January 19, 2004) was an American analytical psychologist. She co-founded the Analytical Psychology Club of Chicago, later the Jung Institute of Chicago, as well as the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts. She helped to popularize Carl Jung's theories in the United States, and wrote several well-regarded books. She worked as both a Jungian analyst and as an author and lecturer. Her 1972 book Boundaries of the Soul is considered to be one of the best introductions to Jungian thought, and played a significant role in popularizing Jungian psychology in the United States.

After thirteen printings and with nearly 100,000 copies in print since its publication twenty years ago, Boundaries Of The Soul has become recognized as THE classic introduction to Jung and the practice of Jung's psychology.  The book has been described as the clearest and most coherent exposition of Jung's total thought, by Robertson Davies, and Alan Watts has called Dr. Singer one of the great masters of the art. Now, in a completely revised edition of Boundaries Of The Soul, Dr. Singer incorporates the latest developments in Jungian psychology over the last two decades, particularlv in the areas of masculine/feminine relationships, the use of psychotherapeutic drugs, and the evolution of Jung's concept and personality types and its application both clinically and in the world of business and industry.  In addition, the case histories, so central to understanding many of Jung's concepts, have been re-examined and revised where necessary to correspond to the spirit of today's world. The updated edition of Boundaries Of The Soul should reaffirm the book's long-standing reputation as the best introduction to Jung's thought available.

Certainly the very best introduction to Jung around.--Joseph Campbell.
