Erich Neumann (1905 – 1960) was 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.

Introduction: Who is Erich Neumann?
by Nancy Furlotti
Erich Neumann was a close friend and collaborator of C. G. Jung. Even though 30 years younger, he challenged Jung’s thinking on many occasions, pushing him to re-examine concepts and viewpoints regarding analytical psychology. In this Zurich lecture series, I will begin by giving and introduction and history of Erich Neumann, looking at who this exceptional man was, his relationship with Jung, and his move from Berlin to the newly forming Jewish state in Palestine before WW2. We will also explore a series of watercolors he painted after his move and during the war to get to know him more personally as well as witness his psychological struggle in his new land at a very disturbing time in history
Why is Consciousness such a Challenge for Humanity?
by Nancy Furlotti
After clearly explicating the stages of the human conscious development in his brilliant book, The Origins and History of Consciousness, Neumann clarifies for us its opposite to show us what happens when this process goes wrong. This paper discusses Neumann’s views on Narcissism and what Neumann calls a collective phenomenon, Mass Man. This is certainly pertinent for an understanding of our current times.
The Search for a New Ethic: Clinical and Political Implications
by Henry Abramovitch
This talk will focus on the concept of the ego-self axis, Erich Neumann’s singular contribution to analytical psychology. This idea is central to Neumann’s conceptualization of the psyche. In contrast to the Jungian depiction of the ego-self relationship as that of a higher integrative power to an inferior complex, Neumann views the ego as an offshoot of the self, an “affiliate” immanent to experience. The creation of the ego-self axis starts from birth, as does the centroversion. Disturbances in the development of the ego-self axis damage the growth of personality and the functioning of consciousness.
Erich Neumann’s Ego-Self axis as backbone of the Psyche
by Tamar Kron
This lecture illuminates Erich’s Neumann’s Depth Psychology and the Search for a New Ethic and describes how a dream was the inspiration for this, his first masterpiece. It then explores the three stages of ethical development, (primal unity, old ethic and new ethic) in depth, drawing on sources from comparative religion, the Bible and the Zohar, the kabbalistic Book of Splendour. It goes on to explore clinical implications of the new ethic in the group life of analysts, in clinical dilemma and in dealing with ethical violations. A critique of the new ethic is presented. Finally, implications for a new kind of peacemaking based on the new ethic are explored with the Israel/Palestine Conflict.
