C.G. Jung’s Collected Works: The Basics

This new introduction to Jung’s Collected Works--written in lively and accessible style--provides a comprehensive guide to key concepts in analytical (Jungian) psychology while charting the creative evolution of Jung’s thought through his own words.

Invaluable to both beginners and those more experienced with Jungian theory, this book provides tables listing key readings for further study of the Collected Works, clear explication of fundamental principles, chapter summaries, prompts for deepening a critical engagement with Jung’s texts, a glossary of key terms, and suggestions for further reading.

This text will be an invaluable introduction for those coming to the Collected Works for the first time as well as a useful reference for readers familiar with the collection.
