Author Description

This detailed biography examines the life, work, and influence of C.G. Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, whose discoveries include the collective unconscious, the archetypes, animus and anima, synchronicity, and active imagination. Jung's work with dreams, his interpretations of religious and parapsychological phenomena, and his profound understanding of the language of myths and symbols are among his significant accomplishments. In weaving the many colorful threads of Jung's life and thought into a unified pattern, the author creates a complete picture of this remarkable man and his contribution to the exploration of human consciousness in our time.
