Murray Stein, Ph.D. holds a Master of Divinity from Yale University and a Ph.D. in Religion and Psychological Studies from the University of Chicago. He trained as a Jungian analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich and later co-founded the Jung Institute of Chicago where he worked as a training analyst.
Dr. Stein served as president of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) from 2001-2004, and as president of the International School of Analytical Psychology (ISAP Zürich) from 2008-2012, where he currently works as a training and supervising analyst.
He is also a very prolific author. His Collected Writings are currently being published by Chiron. Two volumes – Individuation and Myth & Psychology – have been released this year.
Among his many books is Jung’s Map of the Soul: An Introduction, published in 1998. It was recognized by BTS’s management company, Big Hit Entertainment, prior to the release of their 2019 album, Map of the Soul: Persona. You can hear Dr. Stein discuss his book and BTS for the first time in Episode 42. We then recorded additional episodes on persona, shadow, ego, his new Map of the Soul book series, and the subsequent BTS albums Map of the Soul: 7 and Map of the Soul: 7 ~ The Journey. Please see Speaking of Jung’s BTS Page for links.
I’ve recorded several other episodes of Speaking of Jung with Dr. Stein including our initial face-to-face meeting at his office in Zürich (Ep. 9), his play, The Analyst and the Rabbi (Ep. 47), and Chiron’s multi-volume series Jung’s Red Book for Our Time (Ep. 49). In this episode, we discuss BTS’s new studio album, BE, released on November 20th.
