PROF. SONU SHAMDASANI – RESEARCHES:

«My research continues to follow two intersecting verticies: the reconstruction of the formation of modern psychological disciplines and therapeutics from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, and a reconstruction of the formation of work of Jung, based on primary archival materials. The first volume of my intellectual history of Jung, Jung and the Making of Modern Psychology: The Dream of a Science was published in 2003, and I have been continuing to work on the second volume. I have been overseeing a project to edit Jung's unpublished manuscripts (www.philemonfoundation.org). I recently completed my edition and co-translation of Jung's hitherto unpublished work entitled The Red Book: Liber Novus, a work of psychology composed in a literary form and illustrated with his own paintings, upon which he worked between 1914 and 1930, which was the source of his later work. This appeared in October 2009, simultaneously in English and German, and is already in its sixth printing. At the same time, I have been expanding my work on turn of the century psychotherapy, conceptions of mental influence.»
