Robert Matthews, Ph.D. | Depth Psychology & Physics | Speaking of Jung

Robert S. Matthews, Ph.D. is a Jungian analyst and theoretical physicist in Adelaide, Australia.
He holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from The Flinders University of South Australia where he worked in research for many years. He later went on to earn a graduate diploma in education from the University of Adelaide, and since 2003 has worked as a senior lecturer in their School of Education.
In 2007, he received a Diploma of Counselling & Communications from Kranz International College and began training as a Jungian analyst, later earning a Diploma in Analytical Psychology from the Research & Training Centre for Depth Psychology According to C.G. Jung & Marie-Louise von Franz in Zürich.
Dr. Matthews worked as a physics and mathematics teacher and curriculum writer for the Australian Science & Mathematics School, and has lectured on Jung and religion at the University of South Australia and on neuroscience and education at the University of Canberra.
Since 2015, he has served as president of the C.G. Jung Society of South Australia. Recently, he presented “Unifying Depth Psychology & Physics” for the Pacifica Graduate Institute in California and “Union of the Imaginary & the Real” at the Psychology Club in Zürich.
Dr. Matthews is the author of The Paradoxical Meeting of Depth Psychology & Physics: Reflections on the Unification of Psyche & Matter (Affiliate Link: amzn.to/3Hu4SbK), published by Routledge in 2022 as part of the Research in Analytical Psychology & Jungian Studies book series. My interest in his work began when I read these words in the preface of his book: “My first fascination was with the cosmos above, but fate had other ideas. It led me to a Ph.D. not in astrophysics, but in solid state physics. It was much later after reading alchemy that I realized the two are one, that the starry firmament above is mirrored in the earth below. But no physics laboratories talk of such things anymore.”
