The pioneers of the world of representation, themselves embodying cigar smoke, Freud and Jung, might well have appreciated the surrealist artist Magritte's cautionary distinction between the image and the object it designates. But like many analytical ideas, it is easier to apply to another than to oneself. As Freud said of his own smoking, “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.” Freudian and Jungian approaches to psychoanalysis have long been characterized by historical animosity, sharply felt differences that have developed into strikingly different styles of discourse. In Raids on the Unthinkable, Paul Kügler critically rethinks key concepts of psychoanalysis and in the process makes clear what the theoretical differences between Freud and Jung have to offer modern depth psychology. Through a constructive dialogue between Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysis, Kugler demonstrates that such a project is not only theoretically possible, but also clinically valuable. Dr. Paul Kugler, former vice-president of the Interregional Society for Jungian Analysis and member of the Executive Committee of the International Association of Jungian Psychologists, holds a diploma in Jungian psychology at the Jung Institute in Zurich. His books and articles have been translated into French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Japanese. His books include Supervision: A Jungian Perspective on Clinical Supervision (Diamon Verlag, 1995) and more recently The Alchemy of Discourse: Image, Sound and the Psychic (Diamon Verlag, 2002). Currently in private practice in New York.
