About Carl Jung: Author Of Memories, Dreams, Reflections

€ 7,98

Carl Gustav Jung was one of the pioneering figures of the 20th Century. He was a radical and inspirational psychologist and thinker who developed a characteristic and unique way of understanding the human psyche and its functioning. Certain of Jung’s concepts and terms have entered into everyday languages, such as introversion and extroversion, complex and archetype. More significantly, he founded a system of thought which has directly helped very many people and indirectly influenced countless more, as well as having entered and influenced mainstream culture itself. This updated edition of this book brilliantly explains the theories that underpin Jung’s work, delves into the controversies that led him to break away from Freud, and describes his near-psychotic breakdown, from which he emerged with radical new insights into the nature of the unconscious mind. Step by step, the author demonstrates how it was entirely logical for him to explore the psychology of religion, alchemy, astrology, the I Ching, and other phenomena rejected by science in his investigation of his patients’ dreams, fantasies, and psychic disturbances.
