For C. G. Jung, 1925 was a watershed year. He turned fifty, visited the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and the tribesmen of East Africa, published his first book on the principles of analytical psychology meant for the lay public, and gave the first of his formal seminars in English. The seminar, conducted in weekly meetings during the spring and summer, began with a notably personal account of the development of his thinking from 1896 up to his break with Freud in 1912. It moved on to discussions of the basic tenets of analytical psychology--the collective unconscious, typology, the archetypes, and the anima/animus theory. In the elucidation of that theory, Jung analyzed in detail the symbolism in Rider Haggard's She and other novels. Besides these literary paradigms, he made use of case material, examples in the fine arts, and diagrams.

The liveliness of his language, with little use of technical terms, makes the book rewarding and interesting reading.' Journal of Analytical Psychology ' ... As a summary of Jung's work and views, and as a foundation for understanding Jung, they could hardly be surpassed, and anyone seeking an entrance to his work should perhaps start here.' - The British Journal of Psychiatry '...an excellent introduction to the principles on which Jung's work rested...His directness and sharpness of wit made him readily accessible to his audience.' - Nursing Times 'Featuring a new and informative introduction by Kevin Lu... Essential reading of all students of Jung and his work, Analytical Psychology is very highly recommended for academic library Psychology Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists." - James A.
