“…In the second part of the paper, maintaining this particular iteration of binocular vision (of being both a translator and a therapist), I offer some leitmotifs from Neumann's correspondence with Jung which I hope might stimulate a closer reading of this fascinating contribution to the history of our field. In an excellent recent paper entitled ‘Jung's Concept of Psychoid Unconsciousness’, Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) analyst George Bright suggests that the new publications emerging from the field of Jungian historical scholarship offer practising psychotherapists ‘rich new resources upon which to draw in orientating ourselves to the clinical task, in the form of a more understandable and better researched guide to Jung's prolific writing and important but complex ideas’ (, p. 88): a view echoing that of Kirsch and Stein ().…”

This paper considers the experience of translating the correspondence between C.G. Jung and Erich Neumann as part of the Philemon series. The translator explores the similarities between analytical work and the task of translation by means of the concepts of the dialectical third and the interactional field. The history and politics of the translation of analytic writing and their consequences for the lingua franca of analysis are discussed. Key themes within the correspondence are outlined, including Jung and Neumann's pre-war exploration of Judaism and the unconscious, the post-war difficulties around the publication of Neumann's Depth Psychology and a New Ethic set against the early years of the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, and the development of the correspondents' relationship over time.
