First published in 1961 The Psychology of Jung presents a critical and historical interpretation of Carl Jung's psychology. In this book the author describes himself as an 'independent student' and as an 'interested, though uncommitted observer' and attempts to explain and reconcile drawbacks, contradictions, discrepancies and incongruities of Jungian theory, in particular, its indefiniteness, its mystical, semireligious characteristics, its emphasis on visual imagery and mythological symbolisms. It brings themes like historical background; early and intermediate period; the Jungian therapy and related insights; Jung's critique of Freud and Psychotherapy; changes in Jung's work and its appeal; and Jungian psychology and its appeal. This is a must read for students of psychoanalysis and psychology.
