About this title

Synopsis

The authoritative edition of some of Jung’s most important writings on psychiatry

The Psychogenesis of Mental Disease presents some of Jung’s most important writings on psychiatry, including “On the Psychology of Dementia Praecox," his landmark early study of what is today called schizophrenia. Also featured here are nine other key papers in psychiatry, the earliest being “The Content of the Psychoses,” written in 1908, when Jung was a leading member of the early psychoanalytic movement. The latest are two papers written in 1956 and 1958, which embody Jung’s conclusions after many years of experience in the psychotherapy of schizophrenia. These writings reflect the original techniques with which Jung is especially associated.

From the Back Cover

The importance of this volume of scientific papers for understanding Jung's researchers as a whole can scarcely be overrated, even though most of them are now mainly of historical interest or represent the reflections of his later years on a subject that never ceased to engage his active psychotherapeutic endeavors.
