Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D. is a psychiatrist, Jungian analyst, and author. Bolen has written several books on the archetypal psychology of women and men in the development of spirituality,[1] and is one of the women featured in the 1986 film Women – for America, for the World (Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject)) and 1989 National Film Board of Canada documentary Goddess Remembered. Bolen also co-founded (with former husband James Bolen) Psychic magazine in 1969 (renamed New Realities in 1977) covering parapsychology and mind-body-spiritual subjects.[2] Her mother (Megumi Yamaguchi) and aunt (Fumiko Yamaguchi) were both physicians, as were two uncles and her maternal grandfather.[3]

Ken Wilber, in his book Sex, Ecology, and Spirituality expresses his appreciation for Bolen's two books Goddesses in Everywoman, and Gods in Everyman for its "wonderful presentation of all the 'archetypal' gods and goddesses that are collectively inherited by men and women..."

Bolen was a keynote speaker at the 2015 Parliament of the World's Religions in Salt Lake City, Utah.[4]
