Signumpodden med John SjögrenKorsets psykologi med Jakob LusenskyHur kan religionen fungera som en motståndskraft mot rörelser som sliter sönder, delar upp och atomiserar vår värld? Vilken roll spelar samvetet och den stilla inre rösten för vår väg mot andlig och personlig mognad? Och hur ska vi förstå skuggan, det onda inom och utanför oss? Det är några av de frågor som det här samtalet med Jakob Lusensky kretsar kring. Jakob är jungiansk analytiker, verksam i Berlin, där han bland annat drivit podden ”Psychology & The Cross” som anlägger ett djuppsykologiskt perspektiv på kristen tro.

It was the sinologist and Christian missionary in China, Richard Wilhelm who sent the text to Jung for a commentary. It's hard to overestimate the importance this text had on Jung and his work.

Jung-poddenMotståndet mot JungFör borgerlig? För populär? För flummig för psykologskrået? Eller är det kanske jungianernas eget fel att Carl Gustav Jungs tankar är så frånvarande inom den etablerade psykologin – samtidigt som de "peakar" inom populärkulturen?
Jakob Lusensky, svensk jungiansk analytiker i Berlin, menar att det finns ett vetenskapskomplex inom psykologin som sätter krokben för Jung. Men han anser också att jungianerna själva behöver tvätta av Jungs persona.2021-12-2942 min
