For a book proposal, I need to illustrate (preferably quantitatively) that people are still interested in Jungian psychology and related therapies (including narrative therapy). When writing a book proposal, the most important thing is to spell out exactly who your audience will be, and it's best if you can use numbers. "Last year, 300,000 seniors went ziplining for the first time" and that kind of thing. Or "My cat has 433,888 Instagram followers who will want his book."
I need to do come up with similar kinds of numbers related to Jungian psychology, particularly things to do with archetypes and/or the shadow. My book is an art book, not a psychology book. However, I do get into archetypes and the shadow, so I need to mention the Jung-oriented types as a potential audience. Narrative therapy comes from Jungian, so that's fine to include, as well as other Jung-related therapies I don't know.
Where can I get data to prove the relevance of Jung? Are there psychology journals showing how trends in patients getting Jungian or narrative therapy? Are there professional organizations for Jung therapists/ scholars? Are there more college courses being taught on using Jung to interpret art? Are workshops on archetypal writing surging in popularity? That kind of thing. (Publishers can look up sales figures of related books, so I'm not bothering with that.)
It's not helpful to hear about one class here or there, and it's also not helpful to hear that "a lot of therapists" or "many scholars" do anything. I need to think big picture here and be highly specific about it.
I'm sure someone has the research goods on this; thank you for your help.
