The Singers returned to the United States to found the Analytical Psychology Club of Chicago in 1965. This organization later expanded, became known as the C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago, and joined the International Association for Analytical Psychology; June Singer remained a lifetime honorary member.Kirsch, ''The Jungians'' (2012), pp. 111–112. After Richard Singer died in 1964, June Singer was the only Jungian analyst in Chicago.Kirsch, ''The Jungians'' (2012), pp. 104–106. She earned a PhD from Northwestern University in 1968. In 1973–1974 Singer and several other Jungians in the U.S. founded the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, which joined the International Association for Analytical Psychology. Singer moved to Palo Alto in 1980, working at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and joining the San Francisco Jung Institute and the local Gnostic church. In 1987, Singer married Dr. Irving Sunshine, with whom she returned to California and later retired in Ohio.Barbara Sherlock,Influence
June Singer worked as both a Jungian analyst and as an author and lecturer. Her 1972 book ''Boundaries of the Soul'' is considered to be one of the best introductions to Jungian thought, and played a significant role in popularizing Jungian psychology in the United States. Singer also wrote two books about sexuality, and a Jungian study of the poet William Blake.Katherine Seligman,Bibliography
