I subsequently worked in a number of medical fields, and then completed training in general (adult) and child and adolescent psychiatry in the mid 1980’s. From 1992-2002, I was chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Children’s Hospital, Denver, and Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the University of Colorado Medical School. I have authored, co-authored or edited several books and approximately 75 articles in the fields of health, mental health and organizational change.
I read Call of the Wild when I was about 11 years old and was deeply moved by this work. About 10 years ago, I entered a training program in analytical psychology to become a Jungian analyst. I decided to look more deeply into the life and work of Jack London at that time. I had not realized that London, himself, seems to have been strongly affected by Jung’s early work. It soon became clear to me that the two men, working in different fields, both had an intense interest in the issue of personal meaning and the individual’s relationship to a larger presence that might be termed God, the self or the eternal. Sadly, London’s early death precluded what might have turned into fruitful exchanges between the two. This book is based on the thesis that resulted from my studies of both Jung and London.voir moins
