James Scherer is a Zürich-trained Jungian analyst and lecturer in private practice in Hartford, Connecticut.
A native of northern Minnesota, he attended the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities where he graduated with a doctorate in dental surgery in 1967. He later went on to study at the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich, earning a Diploma in Analytical Psychology in 1986. Since then, he has been in private practice in Hartford, Connecticut.
For many years he has conducted seminars for the Connecticut Association for Jungian Psychology. His current series, A Study of C.G. Jung’s The Red Book, held every Saturday morning in West Hartford, has been ongoing for two years.
His upcoming lecture series with fellow Jungian analyst and frequent guest of this podcast, J. Gary Sparks, is titled The Meaning of the Red Book Today and will be held in West Hartford this Spring.
Today’s topic emerged from a question I had been asked: is Jung still relevant today? I then happened across a page on the Connecticut Association of Jungian Psychology’s website, Why is Jung Important to Our Times?, so I’ve asked Dr. Scherer to discuss it with me here today.
