传记与作者历程
James Hollis is an American Jungian analyst and author whose work grew out of a long first career in the humanities. Born in Springfield, Illinois, he graduated from Manchester University in 1962 and Drew University in 1967, then spent twenty-six years teaching humanities before a decisive midlife turn sent him to the Jung Institute in Zurich, where he retrained between 1977 and 1982. That shift shaped the rest of his professional life: he later held leadership roles at the Jung Educational Center in Houston and the Jung Society of Washington, helped build Jungian training institutions, and taught Jungian studies in graduate settings. The pattern is central to his biography: Hollis first lived the academic life he had prepared for, then remade it around depth psychology and the question of vocation that would become one of his recurring subjects.
