Welcome

"The Jung Center provides a forum and roundtable for discussion, reflection, inquiry which contributes depth and breadth to our understanding of the relationship between an individual and culture. Further, the Center facilitates people's understanding of the dynamics of the inner and the outer world which leads to deeper and more meaningful comprehension of life from both the personal and cultural points of view."

--Jonathan Paul De Vierville (Vice President)

The San Antonio Jung Center is recreated.

Previously the Center was a place that provided educational classes and continuing education for professional practitioners. It was a library and a place to purchase books related to the Jungian philosophy. There was a physical location for the Jung Center .

There is the first change. This web site is the Jung Center . The phone number of the Center is now a cell phone. Due to lack of staff and funds paper mailings are no longer sent.

Where education was provided now is an opportunity for self education Where once people would come to the Jung Center to receive education from experts now people who are seeking knowledge will have a place to come and share their search for knowledge.

Now it will be a resource location for those seeking knowledge about the Jungian philosophy. A location to help find resources about Jung.

The new aspect to this Center is the notion of philosophical therapy. As Peter B. Raabe, PhD says in an article found http://www.philosophos.com/philosophy_article_14.html :

 

"Psychoanalyst Carl G. Jung saw this abandonment of practical philosophy as an unfortunate development. In his 1942 introductory address at the Conference for Psychology in Zurich , Switzerland, he described academic philosophy as an outright embarrassment to professional psychotherapists. He told his audience, "I can hardly draw a veil over the fact that we psychotherapists ought really to be philosophers or philosophic doctors — or rather that we already are so, though we are unwilling to admit it because of the glaring contrast between our work and what passes for philosophy in the universities."

 

 

The following is from the introduction to a book on Jung’s Aion lectures by Marie-Luise von Franz

"Two celebrations were held in his honor on his eightieth birthday. For the first occasion, invitations were sent to a carefully selected list of guests, all of whom were official representatives of his psychology. This was a rather stiff event, which tired him. To the evening party, however, anyone who wanted to see the great man was admitted: students, patients, Jung's gardener, neighbors from Bollingen. In short, a great variety of "important" and "unimportant" people came to offer their congratulations at this second party. The atmosphere was warmly human and animated, and Jung stayed longer than had been anticipated. On the way home he said, ''Yes, those are the people who will carry on my work, single individuals who are suffering and seeking, and who try to take my ideas seriously in their own lives, not the ones who satisfy their vanity by preaching them to others."


That is the new focus of the Jung Center

"The living spirit grows and even outgrows its earlier forms of expression... This living spirit is eternally renewed and pursues its goal in manifold and inconceivable ways throughout the history of humanity. Measured against it, the names and forms which have been given to it mean very little; they are only the changing blossoms on the stem of the eternal tree." - C.G. Jung
