An accessible introduction to the life and work of one of the key
figures in analytical psychology. Carl Gustav Jung is one of the
seminal figures in the history of depth psychology. An enormously
influential and original thinker, Jung was for some time Freud's
principal disciple, but he became more and more critical of the
Freudian emphasis on repressed sexual tendencies and after the
publication of Symbols of Transformation in 1912, Jung broke away
from Freud to develop his own technique of 'analytical psychology'.
Jung's clinical work and, perhaps more importantly, his own
experience of so-called occult phenomena led him to formulate and
describe a number of key concepts, which have now passed into
general currency, including the theory of archetypes; the
collective unconscious; synchronicity; and the idea of 'active
imagination, a technique of conscious dreaming. With characteristic
fluency, Colin Wilson weaves a fascinating biographical narrative
with a penetrating analysis of Jung's ideas, providing a clear,
readable introduction to his life and work.
