A Primer of Jungian Psychology

Carl Jung's contributions to our understanding of the human psyche have made him one of the most significant figures in the field of analytical psychology. His concepts of the collective unconscious, archetypal personality patterns, extroversion and introversion; his inquiry into the functions of thought, instinct, and feeling; his masterful investigations of the roots and meaning of dreams - all have had profound and far-reaching influence. A Primer of Jungian Psychology offers a clear and concise presentation of Jung's life and work, and of the theories that have become fundamental to our basic understanding of behaviour. Including everything from Jung's beliefs on the basic structure of the personality to his controversial ideas on the psychological relevance of occultism, astrology, alchemy, and extrasensory perception, this comprehensive volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the hidden depths of the mind.
