“No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” This well-known quotation comes from one of the sermons delivered by the 16th Century metaphysical poet and cleric John Donne. In this talk I will look at the interconnection between Donne’s work, and Jung’s analytical psychology which he developed in the first half of the 20th Century. Donne emphasises that we are all profoundly interconnected. Jung believed that we cannot individuate alone and that we need relationships to become more whole. Donne and Jung were centuries apart but there is considerable common ground and much in Donne’s writing that has relevance for psychotherapy today.
