Abstract
“The Meshugana Complex” examines some of the “craziness” of being both Jungian and Jewish. It begins with personal biographical anecdotes showing there are as many ways of being Jewish as there are of being Jungian. The paper then explores group identity as being mediated by complexes that are built up over time, both within the group’s view of itself and of how other groups perceive it. Jewish Jungians carry multiple cultural complexes as part of their identity. The paper concludes with an archetypal perspective, from which the conflict among Jungian, Freudian, and Jewish identities can be imagined as a drop in the bucket in the Jewish mystical tradition of the Kabbalah.
