Philosophy of mind; Psychoanalytical theory (Freudian psychology); Analytical & Jungian psychology; Psychotherapy

This timeless and thought-provoking volume makes available the collected writings of Giles Clark (1947–2019), whose original clinical theory constitutes a major contribution to the areas of analytical psychology, psychoanalysis and philosophy.

Clark’s work influenced generations of analytical psychologists, psychoanalytic psychotherapists and trainees in England, Australia and elsewhere. His oeuvre covers important themes such as psychoanalysis as a deeply relational, mutually transformative and intersubjective endeavor; how, as wounded healers, analysts learn the art of recycling their own madness so as better to assist their patients; the clinical treatment of borderline and narcissistic disturbances and personality disorders; and psychosomatic issues as manifest and experienced in transference and countertransference relations in the analytic field. The book also explores the relevance of Spinoza, Santayana, Jung and German Romantic philosophers to analytical psychology and psychoanalysis, not merely in historical or theoretical terms but as a vital resource to guide clinical practice as demonstrated through a series of compelling case studies.

The Collected Writings of Giles Clark is of great interest to Jungian analysts, analytical psychologists and psychotherapists in practice and in training, as well as anyone interested in understanding the interface between depth psychology, philosophy and neuropsychology, and in the mind-body problem more generally.

Reviews for Collected Writings of Giles Clark: Recycling Madness with Jung, Spinoza and Santayana

'Giles Clark was a friend, colleague and inspiration. When I had a clinical problem that was giving me sleepless nights, Giles was my go to person. I looked up to him more than anyone else of my generation. It is fantastic that his collected writings are now made available in this carefully curated book. Giles was an original thinker whose deep humanity shines through his clinical and philosophical writings. What he has to tell us about – for example – narcissism, transference-countertransference, the mind-body problem and Jung/Spinoza/Santayana is absolutely remarkable.' Professor Andrew Samuels, Author of Jung and the Post-Jungians 'The richness of this collection of writings honours our esteemed and much loved colleague Giles Clark. This volume shares the development of his thinking and experiences bringing alive his heart and humanity in the face of suffering. We have been blessed with the presence, mind and deep clinical experience of Giles Clark. His innovative thinking has been part of the rich environment for the development of Jungian trainees and analysts who have been invited into deepening understandings on key concepts like the psychoid, recycling madness, narcissistic and borderline relations, symbolising and not symbolising in the clinical setting, with embodied countertransference a key interaction. This volume shares the abundance of his significant contribution to the psychoanalytic community.' Joy Norton, President, Australian and New Zealand Society of Jungian Analysts
