Joanne Wieland-Burston examines the question of the 'foreign' and 'foreigner' from multiple perspectives and explores how Jung and Freud were more interested in the wide phenomenon of the foreign in the unconscious rather than in their own personal lives. It includes contemporary perspectives on immigration and displacement throughout. "Joanne Wieland-Burston offers us a book that is quite clear, profound, and excellently documented, on our relationship with the foreigner within us, around us, and afar. It provides observation, investigation, analysis, and personal experience that are of practical use to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, researchers in the social sciences, and each one of us." - Christian Gaillard, Dr. Psy., training psychoanalyst and supervisor; former President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology, former Professor at the National Academy of Fine Arts, Paris, andauthor of The Soul of Art: Analysis and Creation "In this impressive and thoughtful book, Joanne Wieland-Burston helps us come to terms with the 'other' in ourselves and in the world around us. This is a most timely and useful book, full of essential insights into the times we live in." - Murray Stein, PhD, author of Jung's Map of the Soul "Joanne Wieland-Burston having been herself involved with migration and alienation explores the theme of the foreigner from manifold angles based on her background as a Jungian analyst and her studies in literature and art history. Her fascinating and differentiated work centers mainly on the modern faces of the foreigner. Giving deep insight in the dominant topic of our culture she deals with the archetypal roots, cultural complexes, scapegoating, alienation of the self and brings all the aspects down to the practical work in psychotherapy. A truly wonderful and inspiring book!" -Kathrin Asper, PhD, supervisor, training analyst and lecturer at ISAPZURICH
