Description
Kabbalistic Visions is the first full-length study of Jung and Jewish mysticism in any language and the first book to present a comprehensive Jungian/archetypal interpretation of Kabbalistic symbolism.
"Sanford Drob’s book is a scholarly and provocative analysis of Jung’s "lingering shadows," the extent to which Jung’s dark and unresolved personal complexes about Judaism affected his psychology. Drob’s analysis of Jung’s late-life Kabbalistic visions finds Jung to be in the midst of a reparative and transformative process that surprisingly links him to a long line of Jewish mystical thinkers. In this important, far-reaching, and well-researched work, Drob re-visions our understanding of Jung and his psychology, including an analysis of the intimate interplay of the archetypal images shared by alchemy and the Kabbalah. I am certain that its publication will ignite continuing dialogue and debate."- Stanton Marlan, PhD, Jungian Analyst
"At last! An in-depth, thoughtful, book bridging the worlds of Kabbalah and Depth Pyschology. Sanford Drob has provided us with a clearly defined understanding of the archetypal patterns linking Kabbalah and the psychology of C.G. Jung (and Freud) - from the world of Alchemy to the amplification of Symbols. Dr. Drob shows he is equally at ease in both worlds- not an easy task- and has provided us with an indispensable new source for appreciating the connection between the world of the Kabbalah and that of Analytical Psychology." - Aryeh Maidenbaum, PhD, Director, NY Center for Jungian Studies

"...Jung finds his greatest closure in the Kabbalah, the last deep harbor of his odyssey...Sanford Drob’s masterful presentation of the intricacies of the Kabbalah allows Jungians to understand at last the ramifications of Jung’s crucial metanoia." - Jung Journal
