Book Description
A close examination of the heart of Jung's theory of psychological growth and individuation.
The transcendent function is the core of Carl Jung's theory of psychological growth and the heart of what he called individuation, the process by which one is guided in a teleological way toward the person one is meant to be. This book thoroughly reviews the transcendent function, analyzing both the 1958 version of the seminal essay that bears its name and the original version written in 1916. It also provides a word-by-word comparison of the two, along with every reference Jung made to the transcendent function in his written works, his letters, and his public seminars.
Review
"Everything you wanted to know about the transcendent function but did not ask is here in Jeff Miller's rich book. In a scholarly and inviting fashion he explores the origins, context, and development of this 'root metaphor' in Jung's work, and creatively discusses its connections with other key ideas in psychology. In addition, he concludes his book with an interesting and timely discussion of its applications to everyday life. It is a book with wide appeal for scholars, teachers, therapists and ordinary folk who seek a deeper understanding of themselves." -- Robert Romanyshyn, author of Mirror and Metaphor: Images and Stories of Psychological Life
"Jeffrey C. Miller has produced a thoughtful and scholarly study of a concept at the heart of Jungian psychology, the transcendent function. He shows a broad and firm grasp of the materials, and his exposition is both imaginative and solid." -- Murray Stein, President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology
