12.1.2022 | Neumann IV— “The Fear of the Feminine” (Reading Group: FREE)

C.G. Jung Library Reading Group. Event 4 of 4. These essays by the famous analytical psychologist and student of creativity Erich Neumann belong in the context of the depth psychology of culture and reveal a prescient concern about the one-sidedness of patriarchal Western civilization.  Neumann recommended a “cultural therapy” that he thought would redress a “fundamental ignorance” about feminine and masculine psychology, and he looked for societal healing to a “matriarchal consciousness” that forms the bridge between the feminine and the creative.
