| - 'offers a concise introduction to Jungian psychology, covering everything from the collective unconscious and the archetype to the theories of synchronicity and individuation.' - Ken McGoogan, Calgary Herald
|
| Description | | - Jung's ideas are of considerable general interest -- in particular his theories of the unconscious, and his views on the interpretation of dreams -- and have given rise to a whole branch of psychotherapy, Jungian analysis
- Anthony Stevens is himself a distinguished Jungian analyst and psychiatrist, as well as a prolific writer on Jungian themes
- First published in the Past Masters series, where it has sold 10,000 copies
| Though he was a prolific writer and an original thinker of vast erudition, Jung lacked a gift for clear exposition and his ideas are less widely appreciated than they deserve.
In this concise introduction, Anthony Stevens explains clearly the basic concepts of Jungian psychology: the collective unconscious, complex, archetype, shadow, persona, anima, animus, and the individuation of the
Self. He examines Jung's views on such disparate subjects as myth, religion, alchemy, `sychronicity', and the psychology of gender differences, and he devotes separate chapters to the stages of life, Jung's theory of psychological types, the interpretation of dreams, the practice of Jungian analysis, and to the unjust allegation that Jung was a Nazi sympathizer. Finally, he argues that Jung's
visionary powers and profound spirituality have helped many to find an alternative set of values to the arid materialism prevailing in Western society. |
Readership: All Jungian analysts in the preliminary stages of training; all psychotherapists in training; all students of psychology who are studying depth psychology.
