Stanton Marlan, Ph.D. | The Black Sun | Speaking of Jung #62

Zürich-trained Jungian analyst, author, and professor of clinical psychology Stanton Marlan, Ph.D. joins us from Pittsburgh to discuss his LSD experiences with Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass) and Ralph Metzner at Millbrook, studying Buddhist philosophy in Hawai’i, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, egocide, lying down with James Hillman, and his book, The Black Sun: The Alchemy & Art of Darkness.
Stanton Marlan, Ph.D. is a Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist in private practice in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and an adjunct Clinical Professor of Psychology at Duquesne University.
After graduating from the prestigious Bard College in New York, he was encouraged by Timothy Leary to attend the University of Hawai’i where he earned a master’s degree in Asian philosophy, specializing in Buddhism. He then went on to the progressive New School for Social Research in New York City, earning a master’s degree in psychology and completed his doctoral work in clinical psychology at Duquesne University where he recently obtained a further doctorate in philosophy.
He began his training as a Jungian analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of New York, where he studied with Drs. Edward F. Edinger and Edward Whitmont. He later moved to Pittsburgh where he completed his training with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts in 1980.
He is the founder of the C.G. Jung Institute Analytic Training Program of Pittsburgh and the co-founder and current president of the Pittsburgh Society of Jungian Analysts. Currently, he works as a training and supervising analyst with the Inter-Regional group. He is also past president and director of The American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis.
In 2003, he delivered the 13th annual Fay Lecture Series at the Jung Center Houston. It was later published as the book, The Black Sun: The Alchemy & Art of Darkness. The founder of Archetypal Psychology, world-renowned Jungian analyst Dr. James Hillman, said of the book that “Since Jung first opened the obscurities of alchemy to psychological insight, no one has done a book as thorough, as rich, and as significant as this astounding work by Stanton Marlan.” Dr. Marlan is the editor of Archetypal Psychologies: Reflections in Honor of James Hillman, inspired by a conference in honor of Dr. Hillman’s 80th birthday. The book includes contributions by noted Jungian analyst Wolfgang Giegerich and philosopher Edward S. Casey. It is said to represent the broadest published application of Archetypal Psychology to date.
He has lectured widely at conferences around the world, including the first International Conference on Jungian Analysis and Chinese Culture in Guangzhou, China and the IAAP International Congresses in Cambridge and Barcelona. He was a keynote speaker for the Guild of Pastoral Psychology held at Oxford University and has taught at the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich and other Jungian institutes and universities.
