5.0 out of 5 stars Unputdownable!, 28 Dec 2003
By Gottfried Heuer (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Never before has there been such a detailed and meticulously well researched biography of C.G. Jung. The author is to be congratulated for the wealth of hitherto unknown details she has been able to unearth - due, in part, to having been granted extensive access to personal materials still guarded by Jung's heirs. But also an amazing number of different sources have been discovered and consulted. In a balanced way Bair presents "Jung, warts and all" by spreading out before the reader all the material currently available. For years to come this will remain THE definitive biography Jung, THE indispensible reference work for professionals and lay persons alike!

Gottfried Heuer,
Jungian Psychoanalyst

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, thoughtful, worth it, 5 April 2004
By A Customer
I came to this book without any pre-conceptions, probably unlike most readers who are well-versed already in the work of Jung. As an Anglophone who lives in Zürich and, therefore, surrounded by the haunts of Jung, I was fascinated with his story. Happily, despite my ignorance, I found this book entirely satisfying. The level of detail is impressive from a scholastic viewpoint, and the book is impressive from an emotional viewpoint. No, Jung didn't have a straightforward domestic life, but he had great insight into man and the great beyond. I'm definitely not a "disciple" but I still found this book of immense interest. Like another reviewer, I was unable to put down this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best life of Jung, 25 Oct 2009
By D. F. Bailey ""thebail"" (Heswall UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jung: A Biography (Paperback)
Deirdre Bair has written the best life of Jung by a huge margin. She is balanced where others are hostile or adulatory. She is clear and understandable on the history of psychology, the break with Freud and Jung's own work, all of which she weaves seamlessly into the story of Jung's life.She is authoritative on Jung's strengths and his weaknesses and importantly is as fair to Freud as to Jung.
This is the book to read if you want to really understand a complex man, his work and his times.

On a personal note, she is also the only biographer who has provided credible answers to how an ordinary Englishwoman, Ruth Bailey met Jung by chance in 1925 and remained close to him and all his family for the next four decades. She was even asked to look after Jung after his wife died. All other biographies have tended to pass over Ruth Bailey as housekeeper and companion. Deirdre Bair provides extensive coverage of Ruth Bailey and her contribution.Ruth Bailey was my Great Aunt and in 1957 I went with my family to see her and meet Jung in his lakeside home near Zurich.
