Richard Noll (born 1959) is a clinical psychologist and historian of medicine. He is best known for his publications in the history of psychiatry, including two critical volumes on the life and work of Carl Gustav Jung and his books and articles on the history of dementia praecox and schizophrenia. He is also known for his publications in anthropology on shamanism. His books and articles have been translated into fourteen foreign languages. He grew up in Detroit, Michigan, and Phoenix, Arizona, where he received his education at Brophy College Preparatory, a Jesuit institution. From 1977 to 1979 he studied political science at the University of Arizona. In the fall of 1978 he spent an honors semester at the United Nations in New York, returning to complete his B.A. in political science in May 1979. From 1979 to 1984 he was involved with the resettlement of Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian and Hmong refugees for both Church World Service and the International Rescue Committee in New York City. From 1985 to 1988 he was a staff psychologist on various wards at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital in Hammonton, New Jersey. He received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the New School for Social Research in 1992. His dissertation research focused on cognitive style differences between paranoid and nonparnoid schizophrenia, and was supervised by L. ("Nikki") Erlenmeyer-Kimling of the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Before assuming a position as a professor of psychology at DeSales University in August 2000, he taught and conducted research at Harvard University for four years as a postdoctoral fellow and as Lecturer in History of Science. During the 1995–1996 academic year he was a Visiting Scholar at MIT and a Resident Fellow at the Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology. == Scholarship on Carl Gustav Jung == Noll received the 1994 Award for Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Psychology from the Association of American Publishers for his book, ''The Jung Cult: Origins of a Charismatic Movement''. The resulting controversy over the book made front-page headlines worldwide, including a front-page report in the 3 June 1995 issue of ''The New York Times''. Princeton University Press submitted ''The Jung Cult'' to the Pulitzer Prize competition that year, without success. The background to the controversy over Noll's research on Jung can be found in the "Preface of the New Edition" of ''The Jung Cult'' published in paperback by Free Press Paperbacks in 1997 and in an article he wrote for a Random House, Inc., promotional publication, ''At Random,'' in that same year. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ojjt.org/2015/09/richard-nolls-1992-1994-letters-to-sonu-shamdasani/ )〕At the urging of the Jung family and estate, Princeton University Press cancelled the publication of a second book edited by Noll which had already made it into final page proofs form, ''Mysteria: Jung and the Ancient Mysteries: Selections from the Writings of C.G. Jung'' (ISBN 0-691-03647-0). A pdf of the page proofs containing only Noll's contributions to the book is available online.〔()〕 A summary of his controversial conclusions was outlined in a short piece in ''The Times Higher Education Supplement'' on 22 November 1996. Noll also summarized his views in a 7 October 1997 interview by Terry Gross on NPR's "Fresh Air."〔()〕 In his intellectual history of the 20th century, historian Peter Watson noted that "(Noll's) books provoked a controversy no less bitter than the one over Freud . . . ." Frederick Crews lauded ''The Jung Cult'' as "an important study."〔Crews, Frederick. ''Follies of the Wise: Dissenting Essays.'' New York: Counterpoint, 2007 (page 247).〕 Noll was praised for his "groundbreaking analyses" of Jung's life and work by cultural historian Wouter Hanegraaff in his comprehensive 1996 study of New Age religion.〔 Wouter J. Hanegraaff, ''New Age Religion and Western Culture: Esotericism in the Mirror of Secular Thought'' (Leiden: Brill, 1996) page 497〕 In a recent work, noting the absence of any reference to Noll's scholarship on Jung in the publications of prominent Jung historians in the decade after the backlash to Noll ended after 2005, Hanegraaff remarked, "Unfortunately, Noll's historical scholarship is simply discarded along with the 'cult' thesis . . . ."〔Wouter J. Hanegraaff, ''Esotericism and the Academy: Restricted Knowledge in Western Culture'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2014), page 283.〕 This absence has also been noted by other critics of Noll's work. According to an article by Sara Corbett, "The Holy Grail of the Unconscious," published in ''The New York Times Magazine'' on Sunday, 20 September 2009, the Jung family's fear of "the specter of Richard Noll" was cited as a contributing factor in the decision to allow Jung's "Red Book" to be edited and published by W.W. Norton in October 2009. Criticism of Noll's scholarship and conclusions emerged primarily from Jung's family, Jungian analysts and others who were self-identified Jungians. Franz Jung, the son of the psychoanalyst, reportedly told a German journalist that Noll's work was ''"Mist"'' (bullshit).〔Richard Noll, ''At Random''Italic text'(Fall 1997), p. 59,https://www.academia.edu/6662539/_A_Christ_Named_Carl_Jung_Fall_1997_ 〕 In 1999 Anthony Stevens (Jungian analyst) added an "Afterword" to the second edition of his book, ''On Jung,'' entitled "Jung's Adversary: Richard Noll." Using the term "adversary" as an allusion to the Biblical "Satan," Stevens wrote that it was necessary to counter "the gravest of Richard Noll's charges" because, "I believe . . . he has been so effective in promoting his ideas that there is a danger that they will enter public consciousness as received wisdom" and tarnish "Jung's memory" and "the whole tradition of psychotherapy practiced in his name."〔Anthony Stevens, ''On Jung: An Updated Edition with a Reply to Jung's Critics''(Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1999, p. 275.〕 In a 1998 interview the noted Jungian analyst and "archetypal psychologist" James Hillman was asked by interviewer Cliff Bostock what he thought of Noll's books on Jung. "I hate them," Hillman replied. "I think he's a shit."〔Cliff Bostock, "James Hillman: On Richard Noll, Therapy and the Image," ''Creative Loafing'' (Atlanta), 11 April 1998, http://www.soulworks.net/writings/paradigms/site_026.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Noll」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
