In 1911 Jung published a book of which he says: '...it laid down
a programme to be followed for the next few decades of my life.' It
was vastly erudite and covered innumerable fields of study:
psychiatry, psychoanalysis, ethnology and comparitive religion
amongst others. In due course it became a standard work and was
translated into French, Dutch and Italian as well as English, in
which language it was given the well-known but somewhat misleading
title of The Psychology of the Unconscious.
In the Foreword to the present revised edition which first
appeared in 1956, Jung says: '...it was the explosion of all those
psychic contents which could find no room, no breathing space, in
the constricting atmosphere of Freudian psychology... It was an
attempt, only partially successful, to create a wider setting for
medical psychology and to bring the whole of the psychic phenomena
within its purview.'
For this edition, appearing ten years after the first,
bibliographical citations and entries have been revised in the
light of subsequent publications in the Collected Works and in the
standard edition of Freud's works, some translations have been
substituted in quotations, and other essential corrections have
been made, but there have been no changes of substance in the
text.
