During our Holiday Giving Drive we are presenting a series of interviews called Jung in the World. In this episode, Patricia Martin interviews Roula-Maria Dib, creative writer and literary scholar, who views Carl Jung as a modernist and has written about the power of the modernist moment in history to give rise to the discipline of psychology. Her book, Jungian Metaphor in Modernist Literature, creates a new context for understanding Carl Jung’s work and his most important theories: the context of the collective in which he lived. In this discussion, they touch on:

• The development of Modernism
• Finding wholeness through art
• Jung’s Collected Works & his literary sense
• Active imagination
• The symbol
• The collective unconscious
• Deconstruction and integration
• Reading the Jungian way
