| Summary |
"Carl Gustav Jung is an enlightening and insightful guide to the life and work of one of the founding fathers of psychotherapy and most influential thinkers in modern times." "Combining insights from his early life and his wide-ranging intellectual interests in philosophy, mysticism and parapsychology, Ann Casement traces the development of Jung's ideas on the functioning of the human mind, including the origins of core Jungian concepts such as archetypes, teleology, alchemy and the collective unconscious. Examining the relationship between Freud and Jung through their prolific correspondence, Casement charts the growing divergence of opinion which culminated in the birth of Analytical Psychology, the branch of psychotherapy established by Jung." "Notwithstanding his unquestionable contribution to modern intellectual thought, Jung has been subject to severe criticism, including allegations of anti-Semitism and Nazi sympathizing. The author clearly sets out the arguments levelled against Jung and the responses to his critics."--BOOK JACKET.BOOK JA |
