| book description |

A sparkling and up-to-date new cover for one of Fontana Pressâ€™s strongest-selling titles. â€˜Jung was on a giant scaleâ€¦he was a master physician of the soul in his insights, a profound sage in his conclusions. He is also one of Western Manâ€™s great liberators.â€™ J. B. Priestly, Sunday Telegraph â€˜Jung can sometimes rise to the heights of a Blake or a Nietzsche or a Kierkegaardâ€¦like any true prophet or artist, he extended the range of the human imaginationâ€¦to be able to share Jungian emotions is surely an almost necessary capacity of the free mind.â€™ Philip Toynbee, Observer This compact volume of extracts from the twenty volumes of Jungâ€™s published writings presents him clearly, in his own words and in precis. Jungâ€™s writing is the key to understanding 20th-century psychology, psychiatry and psychoanalysis. Most of the terms of reference now used (â€˜extrovertâ€™, â€˜collective unconsciousâ€™, â€˜archetypeâ€™) are Jungian. This is essential reading for both students of psychology and the general reader.
