Psyche & the City: A Soul's Guide to the Modern Metropolis (Analytical Psychology & Contemporary Culture) - Softcover

This book is a collection of psychologically oriented articles about nineteen great cities of the world: Bangalore, Berlin, Cairo, Cape Town, Jerusalem, Kyoto, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Montreal, Moscow, New Orleans, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, Sydney, and Zurich. It explores each city’s unique identity in terms of such hard-to-define qualities as psyche, soul, and spirit through history, geography, and anecdotes from the authors’ personal experiences. Contributors, all Jungian analysts who live in the cities they write about, are: Murray Stein, John Beebe, Christopher Hauke, Luigi Zoja, Kusum Dhar Prabhu, Jörg Rasche, Antonio Lanfranchi, Astrid Berg, Erel Shalit, Toshio Kawai, Nancy Furlotti, Jackie Gerson, Tom Kelly, Elena Pourtova, Charlotte Mathes, Beverley Zabriskie, Viviane Thibaudier, , Gustavo Barcello, Heyong Shen, and Craig san Roque.

Thomas Singer, M.D. (editor) is a Jungian analyst in San Francisco and the editor of two books that explore the interfaces among social conflict, cultural complexes, and Jungian psychology: The Vision Thing and The Cultural Complex.
