Friedrich Nietzsche: A Psychological Approach to his Life and Work

In this book, a number of human problems are explored and discussed in relation to the brilliant but haunted biography of the 19th century philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. The problem of good and evil, the search for personal truth, the questions of nihilism and life's meaning, and the dangers of self-inflation in the wake of religious experience are each considered in this in-depth psychological analysis. The author sheds new light on Nietzsche's extraordinary life and work, illuminating many aspects of his personal spiritual struggle, while providing insights into some of the most basic and problematic questions that confront us all.

Liliane Frey-Rohn, one of C. G Jung's closest collaborators, received her Ph.D. from the University of Zurich and opened her analytical practice in that same city more than fifty years ago. Her pioneer work, "From Freud to Jung", is used as a basic text by analysts-in-training around the world. Today, at age 86, Dr. Frey maintains an analytical practice in Zurich while continuing her active role as a major contributor to current theory and a trainer of new analysts.
