Despite their prevalence and weight in many of his collected works
and letters, Jung did not articulate a general theory of the ego
and consciousness. Towards a Jungian Theory of the Ego examines the
development of Jung's concept of the ego as he expanded and revised
this concept, from his earliest formulations about consciousness
while a student, to his mature thoughts at the end of his life.
Drawing on Ego Psychology as a theoretical framework, Evers-Fahey
proposes that Jung uses the concept of ego in four distinct ways
and that he developed and used his ego concept based on two
discrete paradigms. These distinctions explain the confusion and
ambiguity found when examining the development of Jung's analytical
psychology over his lifetime. This book provides an examination of
ego development and ego defenses based on a unique Jungian
standpoint, as well as discussion of the relationship between the
ego and the Self and the ego and 'the individuum'. Furthermore, the
inclusion of a historical framework helps to place the development
of these concepts in context. This book proposes a theory of ego
psychology based on Jungian theory rather than traditional
psychoanalytic theory, thereby filling a gap in the knowledge of
Jungian theory. The book will be essential reading for academics
and postgraduate students engaged in the study of Jungian
psychology and psychoanalytic theory and will also be valued by
those interested in Jung and ego psychology more generally.
