Leslie Stein is a Jungian analyst, author, attorney, law professor and judge in Sydney, Australia.
Born and raised on the mean streets of the Bronx, his path was rather different from other analysts.
He attended the State University of New York where he earned a degree in sociology and psychology (and played basketball), and then went on to law school in Toronto, later becoming a law professor and, for 10 years, served as a judge.
In the 1980s, he trained as a Jungian analyst in Australia and the C.G. Jung Institute of New York and started a private practice but left it behind to pursue his particular specialty of using legal mechanisms to improve mental health in urban areas. He completed a master’s degree at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto and thereafter has been a professor at law schools and urban planning schools in Canada, the US, England, Australia, and India.
Prof. Stein has written five books on how to make our decaying cities livable. This has resulted in him being sought out as a consultant to the United Nations and governments around the world on managing urban blight, homelessness, the effects of climate change, and the inclusion of mental health in strategic planning. His work on strategic planning for neighborhoods was given an award by the United States Congress of New Urbanism and he was, among other appointments, invited to be the Visiting Scholar at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University. He then became Senior Fellow for four years at the Global Center for Environmental Legal Studies in New York. He even now maintains that interest as an Adjunct Professor of Urban Planning Law at the University of Sydney.
It was on a trip to India for the UN on the urban planning of Varanasi that his interest in mysticism was awakened and he then returned full time to practice as an analyst, spending long months in India and enrolling at the C.G. Jung Institute in New York to refresh his work. Since then, he has written or edited four books on Jungian thought reflecting that interest, including, Working with Mystical Experiences in Psychoanalysis, The Self in Jungian Psychology, Becoming Whole, and the novel The Journey of Adam Kadmon. He is most recently editor and contributor of Eastern Practices & Individuation: Essays by Jungian Analysts, released today by Chiron Publications (https://amzn.to/3KsL3Cv).
This spring, Prof. Stein attended the Eranos Conference in Switzerland where he presented a paper on collective individuation in our troubled times, and was just appointed to the board of directors of the Philemon Foundation.
