Collected Papers on Analytical Psychology cover

Collected Papers on Analytical Psychology

Rate this audiobook

A collection of classical writings of Swiss psychologist Carl G. Jung, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology. Written at intervals over a span of fourteen years, these selected articles and pamphlets contain many fascinating ideas that have become widely accepted psychological concepts nowadays, but had just started to develop at the time when the book was written. For instance, this is where Dr. Jung’s ideas of introversion and extroversion, a contribution of vital importance to psychology, appeared for the very first time. Other topics explored include the concept of the unconscious, the study of psychological types, and the psychology of dreams. (Cao Yuqing)     [chương_files]

“Nature has granted to all to be happy if we but knew how to use her gifts.”—Claudius. Often we feel “down” or “low”, without being clinically depressed or seeking the aid of a doctor. This is a study, in layman’s terms, of the causes and effects of mental strife, with suggestions on how we can improve our state of mind. Some listeners may be offended by the views on homosexuality expressed, but these reflect the views of the day. – Summary by Lynne Thompson     [chương_files]

The lectures provide an insight into the development of this area of psychiatry out of the neurological field of the nineteenth century, with Janet dropping some famous names from the history of medicine.
