About this ebook

As the founder of analytical psychology, Carl Jung pioneered concepts of the collective unconscious, extraversion and introversion, and individuation – redefining the human psyche and the possibilities of the individual mind. Judith Harris’ career-spanning selection begins with Jung’s work on schizophrenia, where he started as a psychiatrist, and moves through Jung’s dream analyses, his exploration of myth and archetypes, his belief in the unconscious as a creative powerhouse, and his experiments in art and craftsmanship, ending with his late contemplations on spirituality and life after death. In all his writing, Jung invites his reader to strive toward greater consciousness – our light in the dark.

This book presents not only an extraordinary tour through one of the 20th Century’s most mercurial minds, but also offers ways of thinking about how the self operates in the world that remain radical today.
