Spring Journal, Vol. 87, Summer 2012, Native American Cultures and the Western Psyche: A Bridge Between

Lakota Sioux scholar Vine Deloria, Jr. and Swiss psychiatrist C.G. Jung both recognized that Jungian psychology could serve as a bridge between Native American culture and the Western psyche. To further this bridge-building, Spring Journal has invited Native American psychologists, scholars, and cultural commentators to share their insights upon the connections and disconnections between Native American culture and the Western psyche, how each informs the other, and what helps or hinders a dialogue between the two.
