Product Description
In this volume, James Astor takes a critical and informed look at Michael Fordham's work and ideas. Fordham's immense contribution to analytical psychology has been marked by its combination of practical and theoretical genius. Before retirement he ran a full clinical practice alongside the co-editorship of The Collected Works of Jung, development of the Society of Analytical Psychology and its child and adult trainings, and a fifteen year editorship of the Journal of Analytical Psychology. In his published work there has emerged a consistent and original contribution to Jungian thought, particularly in relation to the processes of individuation in childhood, and the links between analytical psychology and the work of the Kleinians.

James Astor evaluates key developments in Fordham's work, from his first publication in 1937 right up to the present day, and shows the fundamental ways in which it develops Jung in theory and practice. Illustrating theory with examples drawn from clinical practice, Michael Fordham will provide a useful amplification of Fordham's own work in analytical psychology and a sound introduction to an understanding of the connections between post-Jungian and post-Kleinian thought.
