Jung was intrigued from early in his career with coincidences,
especially those surprising juxtapositions that scientific
rationality could not adequately explain. He discussed these ideas
with Albert Einstein before World War I, but first used the term
"synchronicity" in a 1930 lecture, in reference to the unusual
psychological insights generated from consulting the "I Ching." A
long correspondence and friendship with the Nobel Prize-winning
physicist Wolfgang Pauli stimulated a final, mature statement of
Jung's thinking on synchronicity, originally published in 1952 and
reproduced here. Together with a wealth of historical and
contemporary material, this essay describes an astrological
experiment Jung conducted to test his theory. "Synchronicity"
reveals the full extent of Jung's research into a wide range of
psychic phenomena.
This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new
foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at
University College London.
The concept of 'Archteypes' and the hypothesis of 'A Collective
Unconscious' are two of Jung's better known and most exciting
ideas. In this volume - taken from the Collected Works and
appearing in paperback for the first time - Jung describes and
elaborates the two concepts. Three essays establish the theoretical
basis which are then followed by essays on specific archetypes. The
relation of these to the process of individuation is examined in
the last section. The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious is
one of Jung's central works. There are many illustrations in full
colour.
In 1913, C.G. Jung started a self-experiment that he called his
"confrontation with the unconscious": an engagement with his
fantasies, which he charted in a series of notebooks referred to as
The Black Books. The Red Book drew on material recorded therein to
1916 but Jung continued to write in them for decades. The Black
Books shed light on the elaboration of Jung's personal cosmology
and his attempts to embody insights from his self-investigation
into his life and relationships. Magnificently presented, featuring
a revelatory essay by Sonu Shamdasani, and both translated and
facsimile versions of each notebook, these "unmistakably Holy
Books" (Times Literary Supplement) offer a unique portal into
Jung's mind and the origins of analytical psychology.
The Practice of Psychotherapy brings together Jung's essays on
general questions of analytic therapy and dream analysis. It also
contains his profoundly interesting parallel between the
transference phenomena and alchemical processes.
The transference is illustrated and interpreted by means of a set
of symbolic pictures, and the bond between psychotherapist and
patient is shown to be a function of the kinship libido. Far from
being pathological in its effects, kinship libido has an essential
role to play in the work of individuation and in establishing an
organic society based on the psychic connection of its members with
one another and with their own roots.

"The Origins and History of Consciousness" draws on a full range
of world mythology to show how individual consciousness undergoes
the same archetypal stages of development as human consciousness as
a whole. Erich Neumann was one of C. G. Jung's most creative
students and a renowned practitioner of analytical psychology in
his own right. In this influential book, Neumann shows how the
stages begin and end with the symbol of the Uroboros, the
tail-eating serpent. The intermediate stages are projected in the
universal myths of the World Creation, Great Mother, Separation of
the World Parents, Birth of the Hero, Slaying of the Dragon, Rescue
of the Captive, and Transformation and Deification of the Hero.
Throughout the sequence, the Hero is the evolving ego
consciousness.
Featuring a foreword by Jung, this Princeton Classics edition
introduces a new generation of readers to this eloquent and
enduring work.
One of the world's leading authorities on Zen Buddhism, D. T.
Suzuki was the author of more than a hundred works on the subject
in both Japanese and English, and was most instrumental in bringing
the teachings of Zen Buddhism to the attention of the Western
world. Written in a lively, accessible, and straightforward manner,
"An Introduction to Zen Buddhism" is illuminating for the serious
student and layperson alike. Suzuki provides a complete vision of
Zen, which emphasizes self-understanding and enlightenment through
many systems of philosophy, psychology, and ethics. With a foreword
by the renowned psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung, this volume has been
generally acknowledged a classic introduction to the subject for
many years. It provides, along with Suzuki's "Essays" and "Manual
of Zen Buddhism," a framework for living a balanced and fulfilled
existence through Zen.
Psychological Types is one of Jung's most important and most famous
works. First published by Routledge (Kegan Paul) in the early 1920s
it appeared after Jung's so-called fallow period, during which he
published little, and it is perhaps the first significant book to
appear after his own confrontation with the unconscious. It is the
book that introduced the world to the terms 'extravert' and
'introvert'. Though very much associated with the unconscious, in
Psychological Types Jung shows himself to be a supreme theorist of
the conscious. In putting forward his system of psychological types
Jung provides a means for understanding ourselves and the world
around us: our different patterns of behaviour, our relationships,
marriage, national and international conflict, organizational
functioning. Appearing in paperback for the first time this central
volume from Jung's Collected Works will be essential to anyone
requiring a proper understanding of Jung's psychology.
PSYCHOLOGY OF THE UNCONSCIOUS PSYCHOLOGY OP THE UNCONSCIOUS A Study
of the Transformations and Symbolisms of the Libido A Contribution
to the History of the Evolution of Thought DR, C. G. JUNG Of the
University of Zurich AUTHORIZED TRANSLATION, WITH INTRODUCTION, BY
BEATRICE M. HINKLE, M. D NEW YORK DODD, MEAD AND COMPANY 1949
TRANSLATORS NOTE THAT humanity is seeking a new message, a new
light upon the meaning of life, and something tangible, as it were,
with which it can work towaids a larger under standing of itself
and its relation to the universe, is a fact I think none will
gainsay Therefore, it has seemed to me particularly timely to
introduce to the Eng lish-speaking world Dr. Jungs remarkable book,
Wand lungen und Symbole der Libido. In this work he has plunged
boldly into the treacherous sea of mythology and folklore, the
productions of the ancient mind and that of the common people, and
turned upon this vast material the same scientific and painstaking
method of psychologic analysis that is applied to the modern mind,
in order to reveal the common bond of desire and longing which
unites all humanity, and thus bridge the gaps presumed to exist
between ancient and widely separated peoples and those of our
modern time. The discoveiy of this under current affecting and
influencing ancient peoples as well as modern serves as a
foundation or platform from which he proceeds to hold aloft a new
ideal, a new goal of attainment possible of achievement and which
can be in tellectually satisfy ng, as well as emotionally appealing
the goal of moral autonomy. BINDERY MAR 1 2 This book, remarkable
for its erudition and the tre mendous labor expended upon it, as
well as for the new viTRANSLATORS NOTE light which it sheds upon
human life, its motives, its needs and its possibilities, is not
one for desultory read ing or superficial examination Such an
approach will prevent the reader from gaining anything of its real
value, but for those who can bring a serious interest and
willingness to give a careful study to it the work will prove to be
a veritable mine capable of yielding the greatest riches. The
difficulties in translating a book such as this are almost
insuperable, but I have tried faithfully to express Dr. Jungs
thought, keeping as close to the original text as possible and, at
the same time, rendeiing the difficult material and complicated
German phrasing as simply and clearly as . he subject-matter would
allow In all this work I owe much to Miss Helen I. Brayton, without
whose faithful assistance the work would never have been completed
I wish to acknowledge my gratitude to Mr. Louis Untermeyer, whose
help in rendering the poetic quotations into English verse has been
invaluable, and to express as well my gratitude to other friends
who have assisted me in various ways from time to time. B. M. H. AN
INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOANALYSIS AND ANALYTIC PSYCHOLOGY WHEN
Professor Freud of Vienna made his early discoveiies in the realm
of the neuroses, and announced that the basis and origin of the
various symptoms grouped under the terms hysteria and neuroses lay
in unfulfilled desires and wishes, unexpressed and unknown to the
patient for the most part, and concerned chiefly with the jsexual
instinct, it was not realized what far reaching influence this
unpopular and bitterly attacked theory would exert on the
understanding of human life in general. For this theoiy hasso
widened in its scope that its application has now extended beyond a
particular group of pathologic states. It has in fact led to a new
evalua tion of the whole conduct of human life a new compre hension
has developed which explains those things which formerly were
unexplained, and there is offered an understanding not only of the
symptoms of a neurosis and the phenomena of conduct but the product
of the mind as expressed in myths and religions...
Of all the books of the Bible few have had more resonance for
modern readers than the Book of Job. For a world that has witnessed
great horrors, Job's cries of despair and incomprehension are all
too recognizable. The visionary psychotherapist Carl Gustav Jung
understood this and responded with this book, in which he set
himself face-to-face with "the unvarnished spectacle of divine
savagery and ruthlessness".;Jung perceived in the hidden recesses
of the human psyche the cause of a crisis that plagues modern
humanity and leaves the individual, like Job, isolated and
bewildered in the face of impenetrable fortune. By correlating the
transcendental with the unconscious, Jung, writing not as a
biblical scholar but "as a layman and physician who has been
privileged to see deeply into the psychic life of many people",
offers a way for every reader to come to terms with the divine
darkness which confronts each individual.
Author, psychiatrist and scholar, painter, world traveller, and
above all visionary dreamer, Carl Jung was one of the great figures
of the 20th century. This text is a comprehensive compilation of
his work on dreams. Weaving a narrative that encompasses all of his
major themes - mysticism, religion, culture and symbolism - Jung
brings a wealth of allusion to the collection. He identifies such
issues as the filmic quality of some dreams, and the differences
between "personal dreams" - dreams that exist on the individual
level - and "big dreams" - dreams that we all experience, that come
from the collective unconscious. This text provides an introduction
to Jung's concepts for those unfamiliar with his work.
Jung's discovery of the 'collective unconscious', a psychic
inheritance common to all humankind, transformed the understanding
of the self and the way we interpret the world. In On the Nature of
the Psyche Jung describes this remarkable theory in his own words,
and presents a masterly overview of his theories of the
unconscious, and its relation to the conscious mind. Also contained
in this collection is On Psychic Energy, where Jung defends his
interpretation of the libido, a key factor in the breakdown of his
relations with Freud. For anyone seeking to understand Jung's
insights into the human mind, this volume is essential reading.
Modern Man in Search of a Soul is the perfect introduction to the
theories and concepts of one of the most original and influential
religious thinkers of the twentieth century. Lively and insightful,
it covers all of his most significant themes, including man's need
for a God and the mechanics of dream analysis. One of his most
famous books, it perfectly captures the feelings of confusion that
many sense today. Generation X might be a recent concept, but Jung
spotted its forerunner over half a century ago. For anyone seeking
meaning in today's world, Modern Man in Search of a Soul is a must.
This volume from the Collected Works of C.G. Jung has become known
as perhaps the best introduction to Jung's work. In these famous
essays he presented the essential core of his system. This is the
first paperback publication of this key work in its revised and
augmented second edition. The earliest versions of the essays are
included in an Appendices, containing as they do the first
tentative formulations of Jung's concept of archetypes and the
collective unconscious, as well as his germinating theory of types.
Unavailable for many years, this edition presents the original
English translation of Jung's most famous and influential work. It
is a key text for the study of the formation of Jung's ideas and
for understanding his personal and psychological condition during
this crucial time.

Though Jung's main researches have centred on the subject of
individuation as an adult ideal he has a unique contribution to
make to the psychology of childhood. Jung repeatedly underlined the
importance of the psychology of parents and teachers in a child's
development and he emphasized that an unsatisfactory psychological
relationship between parents may be an important cause of disorders
in childhood. He maintained that all real education of children
needs teachers who not only know how to learn but who can also
develop their own personalities. Jung devotes a large part of the
book to expounding his views on these important subjects. There is
also an outline of the theory of child development, a delightful
snapshot from the life of a girl called Anna and her parents, and a
stimulating discussion of marriage as a psychological relationship.
Finally there is a chapter on child development and individuation.
The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the
nucleus of C. G. Jung's later works. It was here that he developed
his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective
unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform
psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the
higher development of the personality. As Sara Corbett wrote in the
New York Times, "The creation of one of modern history's true
visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of
categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it
transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung's
place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of
course, Freud." The Red Book: A Reader's Edition features Sonu
Shamdasani's introductory essay and the full translation of Jung's
vital work in one volume.
First published in 1961.The present volume gives the substance of
Jung’s published writings on Freud and psychoanalysis between the
years 1906and 1916; two later papers are, however, added for
reasons which will become apparent.
Jung on Astrology brings together C. G. Jung's thoughts on
astrology in a single volume for the first time, significantly
adding to our understanding of Jung's work. Jung's Collected Works,
seminars, and letters contain numerous discussions of this ancient
divinatory system, and Jung himself used astrological horoscopes as
a diagnostic tool in his analytic practice. Understood in terms of
his own psychology as a symbolic representation of the archetypes
of the collective unconscious, Jung found in astrology a wealth of
spiritual and psychological meaning and suggested it represents the
"sum of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity." The
selections and editorial introductions by Safron Rossi and Keiron
Le Grice address topics that were of critical importance to
Jung-such as the archetypal symbolism in astrology, the precession
of the equinoxes and astrological ages, astrology as a form of
synchronicity and acausal correspondence, the qualitative nature of
time, and the experience of astrological fate-allowing readers to
assess astrology's place within the larger corpus of Jung's work
and its value as a source of symbolic meaning for our time. The
book will be of great interest to analytical psychologists, Jungian
psychotherapists and academics and students of depth psychology,
Jungian and post-Jungian studies, as well as to astrologers and
therapists of other orientations, especially transpersonal.
Dreams have always been one of the most popular areas of Jung's
psychology. His seminar on dream analysis was given at a series of
weekly meetings between 1928 and 1930, and was based on the dreams
of one of Jung's male patients. It contains a storehouse of dream
interpretation by Jung that enriches one's understanding of his
ideas on the subject. The first part of that seminar is presented
in this new paperback edition.
