Released in 2021 (Routledge Press), The Collective Unconscious in the Age of Neuroscience brings the connection between C. G. Jung’s theory of a collective unconscious, neuroscience, and personal experiences of severe mental illness to life. This unique empirical study considers the links between expressions of the collective unconscious and the experiences of those diagnosed with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder.
With reference to neuroscientific and genetic research throughout, The Collective Unconscious in the Age of Neuroscience highlights gaps in depth psychological notions of etiology and treatment of severe mental illnesses, highlights patterns of collective material in the qualitative experience of these genetic and biological disorders, and explores how the efficacy of pharmacological treatment sheds light on Jung’s theoretical model.
The book is now available through the publisher, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other booksellers. Also available as an e-book.
