I own the anthology, Depth Psychology, Disorder, and Climate change, edited by Jonathan Marshall and which contains essays by Robert Bosnak, David Tacey and other Jungians you may know of from the Jung Society of Sydney.
The book doesn't seem to be widely available anymore, but really enjoyed listening to this this conversation on climate and psyche from 2009 (you can also read the transcript if you prefer). Here's a description of the audio conversation:
In his new book, Why We Disagree About Climate Change, top British climate scientist Mike Hulme wants to understand climate change as a psychological and cultural force. Anthropologist Jonathan Marshall has just edited a provocative collection of Jungian perspectives on climate change. They join Natasha Mitchell to discuss mythology, mental ecology and a changing climate.

I've just found out that I was in a serious delusion about one person. It's Thomas Friedman. He is not a person to me, he is an idea. Actually, he is two ideas.
I really appreciate American open-mindedness and mentality, its willingness for initiative and creativity, imagination. That's why America has Thomas Friedman and his books The World Is Flat and Hot, Flat, and Crowded. But, there is a dark side. While Mr. Friedman thinks popular culture and Guantanamo are the same thing, I think that Americans and other western (Christian) nations, the world actually, are stuck - on one hands there are all those creative, lucid, and interesting things coming from the west (including depth psychology), on the other people tolerate war crimes because an attack to a monster politician is an attack to the system.
I am a member of New Global Mythology http://www.depthpsychologyalliance.com/group/new-global-mythology group. It's like a translation of the title The World Is Flat: it's global ("world"), it's new ("is" rather than "was"), and it's mythology (the metaphor "flat"). Friedman uses the term "green revolution" for a transition towards a more sustainable world. While I still think that his books are borderline genius, there is a serious flaw in his logic (actually, it makes sense now when I know more about him): cleptocracy (plutocracy) and green revolution (in its really sustainable form) don't mix.
While there seems to be enough material to arrest Mr. Friedman and melt the key (http://ceinquiry.wordpress.com/2011/07/24/thomas-friedman-sociopath...), I guess his unique mindset can be used for a person to reexamine his/her own ideas, habits, and ethics. And shadow.
