After considering Jung’s interest in and resistance to Eastern thought, Murray Stein shares some personal experiences and reflections on contemporary interactions between Jungian psychoanalysis and modernizing Eastern cultures (Japan, Korea, China and India). One issue addressed is the “divided or dual identity” that analysts and students of Jungian psychology in Asia face. Another is how Jungian psychology has paradoxically both a modernizing and a retrieving-of-tradition impact in Asia.
