Erich Neumann (1905 – 1960) 
A German psychologist, philosopher, writer, and prominent student of Carl Gustav Jung. Neumann contributed to the field of developmental psychology and the psychology of consciousness and creativity. He had a theoretical and philosophical approach to analysis, contrasting with the more clinical concern in England and the United States. His most enduring contributions to Jungian thought are The Origins and History of Consciousness (1949), The Great Mother (1955) and Depth Psychology and a New Ethic (1963). Neumann further developed his studies in feminine archetypes in his Art and the Creative Unconscious, The Fear of the Feminine, and Amor and Psyche. Neumann also wrote poetry, a novel called The Beginning (Der Anfang), and in 1932 conducted a critical study of Franz Kafka’s works at a time when Kafka was still a minor figure in the literary world.


"An individual's shadow is invariably bound up with the collective shadow of his group, and as he digests his own evil, a fragment of the collective evil is invariably co-digested at the same time"
– Erich Neumann
