In Jungian Perspectives on Indeterminate States: Betwixt and Between Borders, Elizabeth Brodersen and Pilar Amezaga bring together leading international contributors to analyze and interpret the psychological impact of contemporary border crossing - both literally and figuratively.

"In our contemporary geopolitical world of transience, mass migration, and social instability, difference, opposition, and alterity play a formidable role in the fluidity and imposed re-inscription of identity. In this important and timely book, Jungian analysts, academics, and social activists perspicaciously illuminate our current plight where diverse cultural complexes saturate our social collectives vying for protectionism, exclusionary praxis, and self-security at the expense of the ‘Other’ living in transitional states of uncertainty with no status value. This notable contribution to post-Jungian depth psychology will make you rethink your cherished assumptions about human sociability and the logic of containment in an uncontained world based on division, nihilism, and the indeterminacy of our looming collective shadow." - Professor Jon Mills, Psy.D., Ph.D., C.Psych., ABPP; Faculty, Postgraduate Programs in Psychoanalysis & Psychotherapy, Adler Graduate Professional School, Toronto; author and editor of numerous works on psychoanalysis including Jung and Philosophy (Routledge)

"This is an innovative book of excellent and creative contributions presented at the 2018 Joint IAAP/IAJS Conference in Frankfurt on Indeterminate States. The collection of papers gives us the opportunity to reflect on states of life that are uncertain, unusual, not clearly defined, perhaps disturbing but in some way always innovative. The book shows how analytical psychology in particular contributes to understanding and dealing with such situations and processes and helps balance indeterminate and determinate states. It is a timely book and confronts us with the most critical questions of our time. The editors did a wonderful job in assembling all these papers. I wish this publication many interested readers." - Marianne Müller, Past President IAAP; Jungian Analyst, Bern, Switzerland

"All too often conferences and the books they generate have vague and rag-bag themes with little genuine coherence. This book is the exception. Not only is the theme of liminality perfectly chosen for a psychology (Jung’s) that sits squarely on the difficult interface between the opposites, but it provides the writers of the chapters of this book with an opportunity to address some of the key issues of our time. Modern post-Jungian literature is finally addressing the psychosocial dimension, and this book provides a fascinating example, with chapters on topics like the psychology of migration across borders and the phenomenology of liminal gender. Throughout the volume, the range is immense, covering as it does clinical, ethical, cinematic and sociological topics. However, what holds the book together is an abiding awareness of the transformative possibilities that can emerge out of a willingness to stay with ambiguity." - Mark Saban, PhD, senior Jungian analyst with the Independent Group of Analytical Psychologists; lecturer at the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex, UK; author, Two Souls Alas: Jung’s Two Personalities and the Making of Analytical Psychology (Chiron)
