Product Description

Product Description
Carl Gustav Jung was the most enigmatic and controversial disciple of Sigmund Freud. He introduced to psychoanalysis crucial questions about religion and the soul which Freud neglected. However, our perception of Jung today as a quasi-religious sage with a growing "New Age" following overlooks the fact that he was primarily a scientist and a scholar. This book explains the theories that led Jung to break away from Freud and describes his own near psychotic breakdown in mid-life, a "night-sea voyage" from which he emerged with radical new insights into the nature of the unconscious mind. Step by step, the book 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive guide to 'all you need to know' on Jung, 1 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Here is another brilliant book from the Introducing series. It is a detailed and comprehensive guide to all you need to know about the pioneering life and work of Carl Jung. Fun to read and easy to understand, the inspirational work of this major figure of psychology is brought to life on every single page. Produced in cartoon format author and illustrator compliment each other perfectly in conveying complex ideas simply and succinctly. I recommend this book to anyone who wants an immediate insight into this amazing man.

4.0 out of 5 stars Paved the way For more Jungian Books, 28 Sep 2001
By johncmdr3@hotmail.com (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
From the moment i picked up the book i DID not want to put it down and i rarely find books that have that effect on me. The book was so exciting and fun at the same time to read because it gave me the life story of jung as well as the important discoveries that not only gave him his reputation but has brought understanding to those that have read his work. This book will take you through the experiences of Jung in his life that lead him to the discoveries. Naturally the book also covers his life experience in the Viena Cirle that he and other Pychologits including Freud were members.
The book covers every piece of work by JUNG that you will ever want to know about in the right detail. Because you get a chronological view of jung and his work it is almost as if you are there with him through his extraordinary journey though science and spiritualism, Alchemy, Astrology and Psychology among other things.The illustrations in the book also weave into the writing that accompanies it. By far the balance between the writings and the illustrations in this book is the best in comparison to the other "Introductory books" . I only wish that i could forget some of the books contents so that i can read it again.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to Jung, 16 April 2001
By A Customer
This is the best introduction to Jung I've written. It's also one of the best of the "Introducing ..." series. I thought I knew everything important about Jung, but there's stuff in this book I didn't know about. It's very clearly written, the illustrations are fun and relevant, and the style is extremely clear. I drop a star only because I think that these "introducing books ..." are over-priced.
