Winner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Clinical Book 2024FDerived from Ruth Williams’ more than 40-year immersion in spiritual practice, as well as her clinical experience as a Jungian analyst, this thought-provoking volume explores the nature of spiritual paths and trajectories in practical ways, incorporating personal anecdote and ground-breaking academic research and providing a window into how Jungian practitioners work with soul and spirit.Williams explores the nature of being a human using the Yiddish idea of a person being a ‘mensch’, which means being a decent human being, having humanity and living ethically with integrity. The idea of ‘grace’ is the thread that runs through the book—the mystery that binds things together and makes life meaningful, purposeful, potentially joyful and spiritually fulfilling. Williams sees ‘grace’ as being that which underpins and lies behind synchronicity and divinatory practices and as a force by which we can learn to be guided.Rooted in clinical work, Exploring Spirituality from a Post-Jungian Perspective is fascinating reading for Jungian analysts, therapists and academics, as well as for general readers interested in a spiritual journey, both personally and for clinical purposes.

Flatlands, Ruth's first full-length poetry collection, explores how her perspective has been indelibly shaped by her state of birth, Nebraska. "Some writers approach the Nebraska plains as a big, empty other into which they may imagine. I understand the appeal of that mythology. But in Ruth Williams gorgeous new collection, Flatlands, the landscape is as alive as the plains truly are, and serves as both a generating place and quixotic companion to Williams's subtle, precise speaker. Throughout the poems, Williams images are beautifully wrought and full of surprises: a salmon being filleted opens like " a girl's coral dress come undone and the " night heat" of spent fireworks sleeps in the hands of children who are " ready to knock." I love this book-it's musical syncopation, the tight, clean transparency of the poems' lines. I think Willa Cather, the collection's genius loci, would admire Williams's work, recognizing its fundamental truthfulness. Which is about the highest compliment I have to give." -Erin Belieu, Author of Slant Six, Co-founder, VIDA: Women in Literary Arts

Animal-Human Telepathic Connections is a bold and groundbreaking exploration of the profound, instinctive, and telepathic bonds between humans and animals. Williams challenges conventional thinking, offering a fresh perspective on interspecies communication and its ethical and environmental implications. The book tackles a wide range of compelling topics, from telepathic and behavioural communication with animals such as the striking example of Orcas ramming boats, potentially in response to environmental destruction, to the ethics of veganism and the climate crisis. Drawing on theories like Morphic Resonance (Sheldrake), the Implicate Order (Bohm), and the Akashic Field (Laszlo), Williams weaves these ideas into Jung’s concepts of unus mundus and the anima mundi. Presenting findings from bespoke research projects, she interrogates how practitioners incorporate animals into therapeutic settings, exploring therapy animals, interspecies communication, and the soulful connections that enrich clinical practice. This pioneering work offers a unique lens on the intersection of Analytical Psychology, environmental ethics, and our relationships with animals. It is essential reading for Jungian analysts, clinicians, students, and academics, as well as anyone passionate about the climate emergency and the ethics of human-animal connections.
