Christophe Le Mouël, Ph.D. | Conversations with Marie-Louise von Franz | Speaking of Jung #149
September 4, 2025 at 10:34PM
Christophe Le Mouël, Ph.D., is a theoretical physicist and mathematician, and a Jungian analyst-in-training, in Los Angeles, California.
A native of France, he studied at the University of Sciences in Montpellier where he earned a master’s degree in computer science and a Ph.D. in theoretical and mathematical physics with a dissertation on aspects of electroweak symmetry breaking in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. He spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow in high energy physics at the Aristotle University of Sciences in Greece where he researched features of new physics at very high energy levels, pointing to implications for astrophysics’ dark matter puzzle.
After returning to France, Dr. Le Mouël worked as a physics expert and engineer, consulting for the French National Center for Nuclear Energy. He then made his way to the United States where he became executive director of the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles in 2007 and continues to serve in that role to this day.
Since 2010, he has served on the editorial board of Psychological Perspectives, the Los Angeles Jung Institute’s quarterly journal of Jungian thought. In 2015, he was named their science editor and became editor-in-chief in 2017.
He is currently an analyst candidate-in-training at the Research and Training Center for Depth Psychology According to C.G. Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz in Zürich, Switzerland. His particular area of interest is the connection between matter and psyche, and bringing ideas from physics to his work with dreams.
His correspondence with Marie-Louise von Franz two years before her death led to his work on the book, Conversations with Marie-Louise von Franz on Synchronicity and Numbers: Insights and Amplifications, co-edited with Swiss psychotherapist Robin Mindell. The book chronicles a series of conversations with von Franz at the end of her life (1993-1998) and it is scheduled to be published later this month by Inner City Books.
I first encountered Dr. Le Mouël while watching his presentation, “Signs in the Sky in Jung’s Red Book and Dreams,” during the panel discussion on flying saucers presented by the Jung Institute of Los Angeles in January. His talk was part of a longer paper discussing the changes in our times using Jung’s images from the Red Book.
Dr. Le Mouël’s other publications include the articles “Jung’s Axioms: An Introduction to Jung’s ‘Note on Number,’” “Psyche in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,” and “Perspective: Transcendence and Wisdom.”
