Robin Robertson, Ph.D.

Psychologist, Magician, Writer, Teacher

Hats


 
Robin Robertson has spent a life-time bridging the worlds of psychology, science, business and the arts. He's been a clinical psychologist, university professor, writer and lecturer who has published fifteen books and more than two hundred articles in either psychology or his hobby field of magic. Before becoming a psychologist, he was originally a vice-president of software development for a large insurance company. Then for over thirty years, he was also a computer software designer and consultant to a multi-employer pension plan. He has separate undergraduate degrees in mathematics and English literature, as well as an M.A. in counseling psychology, and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology.

Robin's books, often on Jungian psychology or the relationship between psychology and science, have gone through multiple printings, new editions, and foreign translations. From 1986 until his retirement in 2019, he was a writer, editor, columnist and editorial board member for the Jungian journal Psychological Perspectives (a beautiful journal that speaks not merely to specialists, but to everyone who loves Jung.)

For years, he was also heavily involved with the applications of chaos theory in psychology as a writer, editor, speaker, and officer of the "Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology and the Life Sciences." He has also been a consulting editor and contributor for the cybernetics journal Cybernetics & Human Knowing (a journal that looks at deep issues about the nature of reality).

He is a life-time amateur magician, and a member of the Order of Merlin of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, who has published or co-published six magic books and many original effects.

Psychological Perspectives (Jungian journal)

I've been associated with Psychological Perspectives for many years, and only recently retired from the editorial board. Many of my best articles have been published here.
