Description

Childhood Re-imagined explores Carl Jung's approach to childhood through his symbolic view of development. This book offers a fresh perspective by considering Jung's ideas alongside traditional scientific and social-constructionist views.

The book is divided into four sections, covering Jung on development, theoretical and methodological discussion, the Developmental School of analytical psychology, and the significance of individuation in childhood. It examines how Jung's view of development aligns with contemporary critiques of development and explores the plausibility of his approach as a form of qualitative psychology.

Through its detailed scholarly examination of Jungian texts and concepts, Childhood Re-imagined clarifies the notion of development used within analytical psychology and stimulates discussion of further connections between analytical psychology and other contemporary discourses. This book will be of particular interest to those involved in analytical psychology, Jungian studies and childhood studies.
