Gieser, Suzanne. The Innermost Kernel: Depth Psychology and Quantum Physics. Berlin: Springer, 2005. The Nobel physicist Wolfgang Pauli engaged in a long, intensive conversation and correspondence with Carl Jung to create a unique synthesis of science and psychology. In so doing they achieved at mid 20th century an insightful, far ranging inquiry into the nature of cosmos and human, which Gieser, a Swedish historian of science, relates in careful detail. A microcosm of speculative thought at the time, both seekers engaged the same quest in their separate ways: the discernment of a deep principle or “world formula,” such as yin/yang gender complementarity, whose universal microcosm/macrocosm presence, once found and clarified, could explain our encompassing reality.

Johnson, Robert. He. New York: Harper & Row, 1977. A lucid study of masculine psychology by way of Jung and the Grail cycle which emphasizes how a candidate seeker must finally come to realize, express and ask their own “Grail question” and mindfulness in order to achieve true individuation.

Rowland, Susan. The Ecocritical Psyche: Literature, Evolutionary Complexity and Jung. London: Routledge, 2012. The web posting for the Associate Chair of Jungian and Archetypal Studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute, Carpinteria, CA, advises that “…her work is not so much 'about' Jung as an attempt to develop his special insights into myth, technology, the feminine, nature and the numinous for today's wounded world.” In this regard, the book is a perceptive engagement with the dynamic systems revolution as it bodes for a more lively, enspirited reality, so to embrace a Jungian cure for this violent, spiraling century.

Complexity science has developed within evolution theory to answer the problem posed by the discovery that randomness and cause-and-effect models simply do not work to account for where we are. The evolutionary turn to complexity science begins with the discovery of open systems of co-evolving wholes interacting unpredictably. These cannot be considered through the mechanical model of nature because any tiny element can somehow communicate with all the others. Causality is no longer linear. Here is a vision of evolution working with Complex Adaptive systems, which adapt be learning from and interacting with each other. (90)

Skar, Patricia. Chaos and Self-Organization: Emergent Patterns at Critical Life Transitions. Journal of Analytical Psychology. 49/2, 2004. A paper from the 2003 conference ‘Science and the Symbolic World’ to explore common themes between archetypal psychology and complex systems theory. (see also George Hogenson) In this regard, the development of personal integrity proceeds on an analogous ‘epigenetic landscape’ and can be described as a dynamic self-organizing process. (And if we might turn this comparison around, complex adaptive systems emerge by a similar course to psychic individuation.)

Here Jung is obviously describing a dynamic, emergent process between consciousness and the unconscious, leading to a new self-organization, or attitude of mind. Although he was not using the terms ‘chaos’ and ‘self-organization,’ Jung was speaking of much the same thing when he described the emotional and psychological process of individuation. (253-254)

Smith, C. Michael. Jung and Shamanism in Dialogue. Mahwah, NJ: Paulist Press, 1997. Once more, an affinity between archetypal psychology and traditional paths to psychic integration.

Jung had a teleological view of the psyche, in which everything in it had purposive intentionality aiming at wholeness and an unfolding realization of potentiality which he called individuation. (114)

Solomon, Hester MacDonald. The Self in Transformation. London: Karnac Books, 2007. A British Jungian analyst and current President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology collects her many writings and especially adds a thorough chapter on a 21st century reconception of the dynamic course of psychic individuation in terms of a nonlinear, fractal-like self-organizing emergence.

Van Eenwyk, J. Archetypes and Strange Attractors. Toronto: Inner City Books, 1997. On the deep correspondence between Jung’s psychology and complex system dynamics. As a result, the process of individuation can be described in terms of an invariant self-organization of independent archetypes. A significant insight then accrues into how the universal complementary system impels the spiral of psychic emergence.
