Life And Work Of Erich Neumann On The Side Of The Inner Voice

Life and Work of Erich Neumann: On the Side of the Inner Voice is the first book to discuss Erich Neumannâs life, work and relationship with C.G. Jung. Neumann (1905â1960) is considered Jungâs most important student, and in this deeply personal and unique volume, Angelica LÃwe casts Neumann's comprehensive work in a completely new light.

Based on conversations with Neumannâs children, Rali Loewenthal-Neumann and Professor Micha Neumann, LÃwe explores Neumannâs childhood and adolescent years in Part I, including how he met his wife and muse Julie Blumenfeld. In Part II the book traces their life and work in Tel Aviv, where they moved in the early 1930s amid growing anti-Jewish tensions in Hitlerâs Germany. Finally, in Part III, LÃwe analyses Neumannâs most famous works.

This is the first book-length discussion of the existential questions motivating Neumannâs work, as well as the socio-historical circumstances pertaining to the problem of Jewish identity formation against rising anti-Semitism in the early 20th century. It will be essential reading for Jungian analysts and analytical psychologists in practice and in training, as well as scholars of Jungian and post-Jungian studies and Jewish studies.
