Lecturer | Dr. Murray Stein
In Western psychology, we see how humans grow from infancy and how personalities to be formed and shaped. However, this discourse of psychology only goes to adulthood. The latter half of life was rarely discussed in western psychology, and Jung was the exception.
After his separation from Freud, Jung and his analytical psychology took a completely different path. In contrast to Freud and his successors, Jung was more concerned with the latter half of life of development, which is the psychological development of middle and old age. Jung used the word “Individuation” to describe the process.
Relatively speaking, the Eastern way of thinking may not concern that much about the sequence of development stages from infancy to old age like the way it is in western psychology. Nevertheless, the Asians talked a lot about self-cultivation, spiritual practice, enlightenment, and so on. Some people may start this path at a young age, but many do not start to realize it until middle age. These discussions could also be said to be about Oriental Psychology on the human after middle age, although not so systematic but abundant. Perhaps we could put it this way, the west emphasizes how the mind grows, while the east emphasizes how the mind matures. Jung’s thoughts, different from other great psychologists, span across life from beginning to end.
After the 1980s, the west began to talk about women’s personal growth, mainly under the influence of Jung in psychology, which also affected a lot of body-mind-spiritual work, surely including psychotherapy. Meanwhile, these also spread to Taiwan in the 1990s. At that time, Jungian analyst Murray Stein delivered a related speech in Chicago in 1985, in which he thoroughly combined Jung’s concept of Individuation and developmental psychology to describe the personal growth. With male as the subjectivity, which was a less discussed point of view by then, Murray divided the individuation process into five stages from a developmental view which are childhood, adolescence, middle age, late adulthood, and old age (including the transitional or liminal in-betweens). He believes the developmental stages corresponding to the five important roles as male, which are son, husband/father, hero, missionary, and wise old man.
It is 35 years after his speech in 1985, Murray Stein, now 79 years old. He has embarked on the latter half of life after middle age, especially the pursuits on entering old age, and he’d like to elaborate it with the complete 20 pictures from the Rosarium philosophorum. We know that Rosarium philosophorum is frequently illustrated in Jung’s work, but he only cited to the 12th piece at most, there was no discussion about the others after. Follow Jung’s concept, Murray tries to construct more profound thinking. Hence, this first public presentation is quite unusual, we could say it’s the result of his whole-hearted research over these years after his retirement.
Jung was a Western psychologist who studied a lot of Eastern philosophy, and so is Murray Stein. As Asians, if we look at Jung’s concept of Individuation, how can we look at many traditional statements about self-cultivation that we are familiar with? Murray chooses the Ten Ox-Herding Pictures which has been familiar in Zen, hoping to compare the theory of Individuation with the enlightenment in Zen and discuss the similarities and differences.
No matter what kind of religious orientation we are, Master Sheng Yen (聖嚴法師) and his life-long self-cultivation and attainment are highly respectable. Under the leadership of the Sheng-Yen Foundation, the biographical documentary film Master Sheng Yen《本來面目》 shot by director Chang Chao-Wei (張釗維) was released in 2020. After watching it, Murray Stein was very touched and also inspired his thinking in this field. He wants to use Mater Sheng Yen depicted in the film to illustrate the final stage of the individuation process which Jung used the term "wise old man" and Murray uses the term "sage", the latter is also close to the Chinese meaning of transcendence. Such a speech, like a dialogue transcending time and space, is extremely exciting.
About Dr. Murray Stein
Murray Stein was born in 1943 in a small city north of central Canada. In 1960s, he studied at Yale University (B.A. in English Literature) and met the great literary critic Harold Bloom, with whom he formed a mentor and friend relationship. In 1969, Murray began studying theology and received a master's degree in theology from Yale University.
Murray was exposed to the work of Jung and Erich Neumann in the late 1960s and was also influenced by Russell Becker (a student of Carl Rogers) to study psychotherapy. It was with Becker's encouragement that Murray and his wife went to Zürich to study Jungian Analysis. He was analyzed first by Richard Pope and then by Hilde Binswanger, the daughter of Ludwig Binswanger, the renowned psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and founder of Daseinanalysis. With his abundant academic experiences, thoughts of literature, theology, humanistic psychology, psychoanalysis, existential analysis, and analytical psychology have converged in his mind.
In 1973, he received his diploma from the C. G. Jung Institute in Zürich, and later received a doctorate in religion and psychological studies from the University of Chicago. In 2001, he served as President of the IAAP.
Murray now resides in Goldiwil on Lake Thun and carries out his clinical, teaching, lecturing and supervisory work worldwide.
Murray Stein's book " Men Under Construction: Challenges and Prospects" was translated and published by Psygarden Publishing in early 2021, which gathered the essence of Murray’s 40-year speech on male individuation. About the lifelong process of male psychological growth, Murray’s thinking and creation are worth its weight in gold.
On the occasion of the publication of this book, the Taiwan Society of Analytical Psychology(TSAP), Taiwan Institute of Psychotherapy(TIP), Psygarden Publishing, and Yue-zhi Psychotherapy make a special effort to re-subtitle, with both English and Chinese, the recordings of the two lectures delivered by Murray through internet to TSAP and TIP four months ago. After that, Hao-Wei Wang, the chairman of the Taiwan Institute of Psychotherapy, would conduct two online Q&As in Mandarin without simultaneous translation. Additionally, it is our honor to invite Murray to give us three more online lectures on male individuation, which would be provided with simultaneous interpretation.
People could see the first two video at any time they preferred. And the coming three lectures would follow the first two, becoming more systematic and advanced discussion on the issue of later stage of Individuation.
