Jungian psychology through the workings of language

Josephine Evetts-Secker examines language as an active part of psychic life within Jungian thought. The book considers not only speech in the analytic encounter but also the language of dreams, fairy tales, myths, and poetry, treating these forms as sites where personal and collective meanings take shape. A distinctive thread is its attention to grammar: even connective words such as prepositions and conjunctions are presented as carrying archetypal force within transformational narratives. The discussion centers on how greater attentiveness to words and linguistic patterns can deepen engagement with psyche in professional and symbolic discourse.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and practitioners of Jungian psychology and psychoanalysis
  • Readers interested in dreams, myth, fairy tales, and poetry through a psychological lens
  • Those exploring the relationship between language, archetypes, and transformation

Book overview

Language has a primary importance in Jungian psychology and its practice. C. G. Jung saw every act of speech as a psychic event. Even the "worker" words in language, like prepositions or conjunctions, carry particular archetypal energies, working dynamically and daimonically in the conduct of transformational narrative and realizing both personal and collective purposes. This book aims to deepen our consciousness of psyche's speech as it occurs in our professional discourses, in the psychoanalytic encounter, in dreams, fairy tales, myths and poetry. Vividly exploring the grammar of psyche, we are urged to constantly kindle and rekindle our engagement with language.
