John P. Dourley is a Jungian analyst and author. But he’s also a Roman Catholic priest. And a professor of religion. On Monday, I had the honor of speaking with him about his book, The Illness That We Are: A Jungian Critique of Christianity (https://amzn.to/3XLtvYT), published by Inner City Books.

Father Dourley was ordained in 1964 and holds licentiates in philosophy and theology, as well as a master’s degree in theology, from St. Paul University in Ottawa, Canada. He earned an additional master’s degree from St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto.

In 1971, he graduated with a Ph.D. in theology from New York's Fordham University. His thesis work was on Paul Tillich and Bonaventure which led, through Tillich, to an interest in Jungian psychology.

He is currently professor emeritus of the Religion Department of Carleton University in Ottawa where he taught at St. Patrick’s College from 1970-1979, and then at Carleton University from 1979-2001.

In 1980, Father Dourley became a Jungian analyst, having earned a Diploma in Analytical Psychology from the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich.

He has written extensively on Jung and religion. His three additional titles with Inner City Books are Psyche As Sacrament: A Comparative Study of C.G. Jung & Paul Tillich (http://amzn.to/1FB712v), Love, Celibacy & the Inner Marriage (http://amzn.to/1L2t3v6), and A Strategy for a Loss of Faith: Jung’s Proposal (http://amzn.to/1VPsdsL).

More recently he’s published three volumes with Routledge: Paul Tillich, Carl Jung & the Recovery of Religion (http://amzn.to/1OuUQ9W), On Behalf of the Mystical Fool: Jung on the Religious Situation (http://amzn.to/1KAjbEk), and Jung & His Mystics: In The End It All Comes To Nothing (http://amzn.to/1KAje2V).
