This timeless and thought-provoking volume makes available the collected writings of Giles Clark (1947-2019), whose original clinical theory constitutes a major contribution to the areas of analytical psychology, psychoanalysis, and philosophy.

Clark’s work influenced generations of analytical psychologists, psychoanalytic psychotherapists and trainees in England, Australia and elsewhere. His oeuvre covers important themes such as psychoanalysis as a deeply relational, mutually transformative and intersubjective endeavor; how as wounded healers analysts learn the art of recycling their own madness so as better to assist their patients; the clinical treatment of borderline and narcissistic disturbances and personality disorders; and psychosomatic issues as manifest and experienced in transference and counter-transference relations in the analytic field. The book also explores the relevance of Spinoza, Santayana, Jung, and German Romantic philosophers to analytical psychology and psychoanalysis, not merely in historical or theoretical terms but as a vital resource to guide clinical practice as demonstrated through a series of compelling case studies.

The Collected Writings of Giles Clark is of great interest to Jungian analysts, analytical psychologists, and psychotherapists in practice and in training, as well as anyone interested in understanding interface between depth psychology, philosophy, and neuropsychology, and in the mind-body problem more generally.
