Professor Andrew Samuels on Jung and the Post-Jungians – the interview by Dr Richard House

By the Psychotherapy Excellence

In 1985, Andrew Samuels published the book Jung and the Post-Jungians, which turned out to be a much-read, reliable – yet also controversial – mapping of the field of Jungian analysis since Jung. Andrew Samuels is known as an innovative clinician and theorist and, in this interview by Dr Richard House, he gives an engrossing tour of the Jungian scene, discussing positive clinical features as well as addressing the controversies surrounding Jung.

Key themes covered:

  • Andrew Samuels' personal story (from theatre to encounter groups to Jungian analysis to relational psychoanalysis…)
  • Problems with Jung in public and professional perception (anti-semitism, sexism, mystical, sexual misconduct)
  • Jungian take on transference-countertransference and the therapy relationship
  • Dream imagery in therapy
  • Applications of Jungian ideas (in the arts, film, religion, and, briefly, on its political utility)
