5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Introduction to a Great Thinker, 21 Feb 2002
By Graham James Mummery (Sevenoaks, Kent England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Many people find Jung difficult to get to grips with. To be fair sometimes Jung is to blame for this. Some, though not all, of his writings are difficult to follow because of his leaps of imagination, or simply because they are poorly expressed. Also, aspects of his thinking such as on alchemy and mysticism go against currents of mainstream twentieth century thought. Yet, much of his thinking deserves consideration at least.

This short book, written in Jung's lifetime (with a preface by the great man himself), updated after his death, is one of the earliest attempts to popularise of his thought. It remains one of the best being concisely and clearly written. Starting from Jung's contribution to psychology there are chapters on Jung's theories of introvert and extrovert types, archetypes and the collective unconscious, his ideas of personal development and religion. There is also a final chapter giving an overall biographical picture of the man. This is admittedly dated but still provides an insight into the man.

Because of the time when this book was written, recent controversies over Jung's life are not discussed. There are also aspects of his thinking - such as on alchemy and the occult - about which more might have been said. These can be followed up elsewhere. If you are looking for an introduction to provide compass and bearings into Jung's thought, this is an ideal place to start. If you want a summary to know what Jung's thinking is about, this is also ideal.

Readers wanting pursue Jung's thought further might try Anthony Steven's "On Jung". For the man himself, I would suggest either Anthony Storr's selection "The Essential Jung" or Jung's own collection of essays "Modern Man In Search of A Soul".

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely "f******" great, 20 May 2001
By A Customer
This is a fantastic introduction to Jung. Find out where loads of swear-words originated, including the one in the summary above.
