Product Description

Review
In On Jung, Anthony Stevens offers an informative and clear explanation of the basic principles of Jungian psychology... Stevens skillfully employs object relations theory in his analysis... His treatment of the history of Jung's family and the impact of its dynamics on Jung's personality is refreshingly honest. -- John-Raphael Staude The Times Literary Supplement

Product Description
Here Anthony Stevens examines every stage of Jung's personal and professional development to throw light on his theories of the life cycle, dream symbolism, and the collective unconscious. Jung's life experience made him a profound, stimulating, and immensely influential writer on almost every aspect of human behavior; this lucid and penetrating study makes the ideal introduction to his life and ideas. This new edition contains a preface intended as a rebuttal to the recent attacks on Jung made by Noll and McLynn.

4.0 out of 5 stars the perfect brief summary of Jung and Jungian theory, 23 Aug 1998
By A Customer
The reader is treated to both a concise statement of Carl Gustav Jung's theories of life-stage development and a parallel narrative of Jung's experiences as he moved through each of these stages. Stevens traces the idea of the unconscious from its conception (which he believed to be around 1700) to the earliest investigations by Freud in the 1890s. The split between Freud and Jung (essentially spirituality versus sexuality) is described as having a profoundly shattering effect on Jung, as it had on others ejected from the Freudian camp for their failure to endorse, without question, Freud's theories that all neuroses is based in sexual development. (Two of these ex-Freudians actually committed suicide after being spurned by Freud.) Stevens's unique method of combining a primer of Jung life-stage theory with a biography of Jung is an effective introduction to the man and his work.

Quite simply, this is quite the best introduction to Jungian psychology that I have seen. A must have for anyone who would want to understand Jung's work.

4.0 out of 5 stars used books- On Jung, 9 Jul 2009
By Mr. G. Butler (Cork Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: On Jung (Paperback)
I was dissapointed to find that this "used" book was not in good condition. Several of the pages were highlighted using coloured text liner. I found this very distracting. I want to decide myself what to "underline."

4 stars for content
