Book excerpt: Jung's psychology has shown an increasing respect for the nature and function of religion; rather especially for the dogmatic teachings and religious experience of the Catholoic Church. So that a sympathetic but dispassionate evaluation of Jungian psychology by the theologian will be of enormous interest to Catholics - indeed, psychological and spiritual health being intertwined in the way they are, to all Christians and to non-Christians too. Such an evaluation Professor Hostie offeres. He has made a really exhaustive study of the work of Jung, enriched by personal contact with its author; the result is a clear-headed and penetrating analysis. There is a systematic exposition of the empirical method of analytical psychology and its salient features - the archetypes, the process of individuation and so on; then treatment of such themes as the psychology of religion, psychotherapy and spiritual direction, psychological symbolism and dogma, and a concluding synthesis. -- from http://www.amazon.com (Dec. 8, 2015).
