摘要
Modeled on the classic Tao Te Ching -- the world's most translated book after the Bible -- this is a startling and revealing new interpretation of Carl Jung's life and psychology. It draws on Jung's letters, aphorisms, and other writings, and traces the six crises of his personal development, including his break with Freud and his later work with the I Ching. An illuminating introduction to both Taoism and Jungian thought, it serves as a spiritual resource for contemporary followers of the Path.

Jungian concepts such as archetypes and the collective unconscious have become part of our culture's worldview, just as have some principles of Asian philosophies. So the insights in this book combining the two can be expected to intrigue many of today's readers. Indeed, psychoanalyst Rosen's (Transforming Depression) brief analysis of Jung's life in terms of Taoist principles is more an inspirational work than a biography. Jung became fascinated by Chinese religion and philosophy later in life, he explains. Rosen attempts to illuminate Jung's psychic development in terms of the Chinese concept of crisis, expressed by the pictographs for danger and opportunity. Jung's crisis, in Rosen's view, consisted of his break with Freud, with the pre-Freud and Freudian years represented by danger, the post-break years by opportunity. The text here consists mainly of biographical anecdotes juxtaposed with quotes from the Taoist masters Chuang-tzu and Lao-tzu and selections from the I Ching, some of which are more relevant than others. Rosen's approach works best for Jung's years at Bollinger, where the middle-aged and then the older Jung expressed his deepest understandings in stone carvings as well as in words. At Bollinger, Jung, already steeped in ancient lore, lived the life of a Taoist sage as he "integrated yin and yang forces and became a modest person in harmony with nature." (Sept.)

David Rosen, M.D., who has the unique distinction of holding the only American full professorship in Jungian psychology, has written a biography of pioneering psychoanalyst Carl Jung, illustrating the development of Jung's philosophy of psychology and its similarities to the Tao Te Ching. Rosen traces the six crises of Jung's personal development, explaining how each stage compares to a tenet of the "way of the Tao." At the end of his life, Jung was introduced to Taoism and himself remarked on the similarities between the two philosophies. Rosen writes clearly and meticulously documents all of his references to Jung and the Tao. His work serves as a good introduction to both Taoism and Jungian psychology.

Rosen's premise is that Carl Jung was a Taoist. The author argues that the West is increasingly bereft of spirituality, faith, and purpose, and that Jung and Taoism, as presented in this book, offer an opportunity for "creative growth and development." Although Jung is undeniably appealing on many planes, the author's superficial and trivial comparisons between Jung and Lao Tzu do little to convince the reader that his premise has any real substance or meaning. The treatment of Jung is marginally better than his treatment of Lao Tzu; the latter's coverage in the book is appallingly trite. At least in the treatment of Jung there are a few novel but generally trivial details. (This reviewer once watched a grasshopper jump on some plastic foliage and attempt to eat it. After some time, the grasshopper hopped back to the ground. Seconds later, it repeated this cycle. This book is like that plastic leaf. The reader is dissatisfied, unfed, still hungry for real literary sustenance.) Not for academic libraries. F. L. Coolidge University of Colorado at Colorado Springs

Psychiatrist Rosen has written a biographical study of his mentor, Carl Jung (1875-1961), from a Taoist standpoint. The text alternates between Jung's life and commentary based on quotations from the Tao Te Ching, which was well known to Jung. The integration of oppositesthe balancing of yin and yangstructures the examination of the life events, dreams, and theories of both Jung and Rosen. In limpid prose, the author leads us on a journey of religious certainty along the Way, making use of mandalas and Chinese pictographs, sychronicity and facile dream interpretation. The converted will revel, while the skeptic will squirm at the mystical, self-justifying, banal connections. When presenting more straightforward biography, Rosen is both critical and forgiving of Jung's sexual affairs and his transient support of Nazism. In addition, he offers readers a surprisingly candid glimpse of the collapse of his own marriage over the writing of this book: "We, too, can let go of ego, confront shadow,...be guided by the soul and the spirit...[and] surrender to the natural way of integrity." For a more balanced, nonidolatrous approach by a Jungian from Asia, see Hayao Kawai's Buddhism and the Art of Psychotherapy (LJ 7/96).E. James Lieberman, George Washington Univ., Washington, D.C.
