The Second Handbook of Jungian Psychology celebrates a living tradition that refuses to be contained. Building on the landmark Handbook of Jungian Psychology of nearly two decades ago, this new volume captures a field in motion; rooted in Jung’s symbolic vision yet unafraid to reimagine it. Across continents and disciplines, contributors engage urgent realities such as ecology, racism, gender, decolonial theory, while deepening clinical and theoretical
insight. With intellectual rigour, cultural sensitivity, and creative boldness, this is Jung’s legacy as a living matrix: evolving, relevant, and transformative in a time of profound change.

“We are living in a time of profound cultural and psychological upheaval. Climate crisis, mass displacement, collective trauma, new forms of identity and kinship, technological saturation —these are not footnotes to clinical work; they are its atmosphere. In such a time, to remain relevant, Jungian psychology must enter into open dialogue with these realities. This volume does precisely that. It reaches outward and inward at once—expanding the tradition while deepening its sources. Reading through these chapters, one feels the breadth and vitality of contemporary Jungian work. The voices assembled here come from across continents and disciplines. They reflect a globalising field, one in which Jungian ideas are being rethought through the lenses ofecology, racism, gender discourse, decolonial theory, and more. Yet what is most encouraging is not simply the range, but the tone: there is here a remarkable spirit of generosity, critique, and creative boldness.”
Professor Andrew Samuels, author of The Political Psyche
