Le texte peut être désormais lu pour lui-même : un voyage intérieur et la matrice de l'œuvre de Jung, gardée secrète toute sa vie. Pour l'auteur de L'homme et ses symboles, la psychologie doit apprendre de la mythologie et de la religion. Il a l'intuition qu'il existe une strate profonde de l'inconscient, qui dépasse notre propre personne. Jung part à la recherche de son âme. Le Livre Rouge montre comment chacun peut essayer de transformer la plomb de sa nature en or spirituel. L'automne dernier, la parution du Livre Rouge a été un événement en librairie.
La psychologie de C.G. Jung est d'une grande actualité. Son objectif était de développer une psychologie et une psychothérapie qui prennent en compte l'être humain dans sa totalité. Il s'est ainsi penché sur les aspects inconscients, non rationnels et transpersonnels de la psyché. Son mérite particulier réside dans l'exploration des dimensions profondes de l'âme, qui vont au-delà de l'inconscient personnel : les archétypes.
=Commentary on "The Secret of the Golden Flower"Le Mystère de la Fleur d'or est un traité alchimique chinois taoïste, que le missionnaire protestant Richard Wilhelm a fait connaître à Jung en 1928. Celui-ci, dans son commentaire publié en Allemagne l'année suivante, formule l'aspiration moderne à la conscience totale, dans un langage à la fois traditionnel et accessible à l'Européen du XXe siècle. Il peut ainsi être regardé comme le "restaurateur de la Voie occidentale".
Quelques mots avant de mourir, Jung fit un rêve : installé à son bureau, il parlait, lui dont l'œuvre ne s'était jamais adressé qu'aux spécialistes, à un vaste public qui le comprenait parfaitement. Ce rêve le décida à écrire le présent Essai d'exploration de l'inconscient qui allait lui permettre de dégager l'importance primordiale de la vie inconsciente dans l'accomplissement de l'inidvidu moderne et de la société. Dernier ouvrage du grand psychanaliste, Essai d'exploration de l'inconscient, dans lequel Jung résume une dernière fois sa doctrine, est aussi son testament.
Ce choix de textes - plus d'un millier - éclaire et illustre les aspects les plus caractéristiques, les plus accessibles aussi, de la doctrine de Jung. L'ouvrage s'adresse moins au spécialiste qu'au lecteur soucieux de découvrir les perspectives originales qu'ouvre cettre pensée sur les domaines les plus importants de l'existence humaine. Parmi les thèmes abordés, on retiendra l'essence et l'activité de la psyché (l'âme, la conscience et l'inconscient, les archétypes, le rêve), l'homme dans sa vie relationnelle (médecin et malade, l'homme et la femme, jeunesse et vieillesse, l'individu et la communauté), le royaume des valeurs et des choses dernières (la connaissance de soi, la vie de l'esprit, la création, le bien et le mal, le devenir de la personnalité, l'Occident et l'Orient, destin, mort et rénovation, la voie vers Dieu). Le lecteur pourra aussi se laisser guider, à son gré, par les titres plus précis figurant en haut de chaque page et qui en résument le contenu essentiel. Enfin, l'index général des matières et des noms situé à la fin de l'ouvrage en facilitera également une étude plus attentive. L'Ame et la Vie constitue l'introduction la plus riche et la plus sûre à l'une des plus grandes doctrines psychologiques de notre temps.
" J'ai donc entrepris aujourd'hui, dans ma quatre-vingt-troisième année, de raconter le mythe de ma vie. " C'est au printemps 1957, quatre ans avant sa mort, que C.G. Jung, un des grands fondateurs de la psychanalyse, se fait le témoin de lui-même. Très peu d'évènements extérieurs : l'enfance de fils de pasteur, les combats psychiatriques du début du siècle, les voyages en Amérique du Sud et au Nouveau-Mexique, la construction sur un plan symbolique de la tour de Bollingen : autant de précisions autobiographiques qui éclairent cependant la genèse d'une des œuvres qui ont le plus influencé l'essor contemporain de la psychologie des profondeurs. C'est aussi la rencontre avec Freud, puis les démêlés avec le maître, jusqu'à la rupture de l'héritier présomptif à propos du rôle de la sexualité dans le développement du psychisme. Mais toutes ces aventures ne sont évoquées qu'en fonction des rencontres plus fondamentales du conscient et de l'inconscient. " Ma vie est l'histoire d'un inconscient qui a accompli sa propre réalisation ".
Ce livre est le résultat de quatre entretiens de Carl G. Jung avec Wilhelm Hauer, professeur d'études indiennes, à Zurich. Grâce à cette réflexion, le psychanalyste va trouver un modèle qui manquait à la psychologie occidentale : la description, à partir de l'étude des chakras, des phases de développement de la conscience supérieure.
Pour Jung, le rêve ne peut s'expliquer, dans la plupart des cas, qu'à partir de lui-même, sans être réduit à des présupposés théoriques qui lui feraient dire autre chose que ce qu'il dit réellement. Dans cette optique, le rêve, produit de l'inconscient le plus profond qui cherche à se dévoiler, ne se comprend qu'à travers l'effort de l'âme à être reconnue.Ce livre, issu d'un séminaire d'études tenu par Jung avec certains de ses élèves les plus importants, passe aussi en revue les grands systèmes d'interprétation des rêves depuis l'Antiquité, tente d'en expliquer les ressorts et, à travers un foisonnement d'exemples commentés, montre de manière vivante comment écouter et comprendre les images oniriques qui sont le pendant de notre aventure intérieure.
Ce soir, c'est la fête. Tout le monde à bord de La Toupie pour une croisière à l'occasion du dixième anniversaire de KTM éditions. Entre fiction et réalité, parmi les photographes et les journalistes, les auteures et l'éditrice, il y a celles que l'on avait perdues de vue : Jeanne et Zoé qui risquent fort d'arriver en retard, Nadia, dont les anciens émois semblent toujours vivants, Anita à la recherche de celle qui lui fera oublier Michèle, Tina et Alex qui sont prêtes à passer une soirée inoubliable, Pauline, en quête d'une femme providentielle, Fanny, très professionnelles, Amanda, venue changer d'air... Cette réception mondaine sera-t-elle assez chaude pour Alex? Sans trop de retrouvailles inattendues pour Emmanuelle ? Et si Carole surmontait son mal de mer et se lâchait... Quoi qu'il en soit, cette soirée au fil de l'eau s'annonce tout sauf monotone !
C.G. Jung's self-experimentation in 1913 led to his "confrontation with the unconscious," documented in his notebooks known as The Black Books. These writings illuminate his personal cosmology and insights into his life and relationships, forming the foundation of analytical psychology. This edition features a profound essay by Sonu Shamdasani, along with translated and facsimile versions of the notebooks, providing an extraordinary glimpse into Jung's psyche and the development of his theories.
Five long essays that trace Jung's developing interest in alchemy from 1929 onward. An introduction and supplement to his major works on the subject, illustrated with 42 patients' drawings and paintings.
Nietzsche's infamous work Thus Spake Zarathustra is filled with a strange sense of religiosity that seems to run counter to the philosopher's usual polemics against religious faith. For some scholars, this book marks little but a mental decline in the great philosopher; for C. G. Jung, Zarathustra was an invaluable demonstration of the unconscious at work, one that illuminated both Nietzsche's psychology and spirituality and that of the modern world in general. The original two-volume edition of Jung's lively seminar on Nietzsche's Zarathustra has been an important source for specialists in depth psychology. This new abridged paperback edition allows interested readers to participate with Jung as he probes the underlying meaning of Nietzsche's great work.
The Tavistock lectures, delivered by Jung in 1935, present a clear and engaging introduction to his psychological theories, making them accessible to a broad audience. These five lectures serve as a foundational resource for those new to Jung's work, showcasing his insights and ideas in a classic format that remains relevant for both novices and seasoned readers interested in psychology.
Exploring the energic viewpoint in psychology, this work delves into the measurement of psychic energy and its implications for understanding human behavior. It examines key concepts like libido theory, extraversion, and introversion, while also addressing the relationship between analytical psychology and various aspects of life, including marriage, education, and the unconscious. Jung's insights into the psychological foundations of belief and the therapeutic value of emotional expression further enrich the discussion, making it a comprehensive study of psychological dynamics.
All the creative art psychotherapies (art, dance, music, drama, poetry) can trace their roots to C. G. Jung's early work on active imagination. Joan Chodorow here offers a collection of Jung's writings on active imagination, gathered together for the first time. Jung developed this concept between the years 1913 and 1916, following his break with Freud. During this time, he was disoriented and experienced intense inner turmoil --he suffered from lethargy and fears, and his moods threatened to overwhelm him. Jung searched for a method to heal himself from within, and finally decided to engage with the impulses and images of his unconscious. It was through the rediscovery of the symbolic play of his childhood that Jung was able to reconnect with his creative spirit. In a 1925 seminar and again in his memoirs, he tells the remarkable story of his experiments during this time that led to his self-healing. Jung learned to develop an ongoing relationship with his lively creative spirit through the power of imagination and fantasies. He termed this therapeutic method "active imagination."This method is based on the natural healing function of the imagination, and its many expressions. Chodorow clearly presents the texts, and sets them in the proper context. She also interweaves her discussion of Jung's writings and ideas with contributions from Jungian authors and artists.
The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche first appeared in the Collected Works in 1960, and traces an important line of development in Jung's thought from 1912 onwards.
One of a number of major works written by Jung during his seventies in which he discusses the relationships between psychology, alchemy and religion. The particular focus in this volume is the rise of Christinity and the figure of Christ.
Young Christiana Morgan recorded her vision quest experiences of inner archetypal encounters in words and paintings--which Carl Jung later used as the basis for seminar work in Zurich. First time available to the public, here are transcriptions of the seminar notes combined with color reproductions of Morgan's paintings, revealing archetypal parallels with western myth and eastern yoga. 41 color and 77 line illustrations. 10 photos. in two volumes.
Jung's writing is the key to understanding 20th century psychology, psychiatry and psychoanalysis. This collection of his writings clearly presents him in his own words and in precis.
In 1932, world-renowned physicist Wolfgang Pauli had already done the work that would win him the 1945 Nobel Prize. He was also suffering after a series of troubling personal events. He was drinking heavily, quarrelling frequently, and experiencing powerful, disturbing dreams. Pauli turned to C. G. Jung for help, forging an extraordinary intellectual conjunction not just between a physicist and a psychologist but between physics and psychology. As their acquaintance developed, Jung and Pauli discussed the nature of dreams and their relation to reality, finding surprising common ground between depth psychology and quantum physics and profoundly influencing each other's work. This portrait of an incredible friendship will fascinate readers interested in psychology, science, creativity, and genius.
C.G. Jung's letters to the artist and analysand Hedy Wyss, published here for the first time, are a unique testimony to Jung's vivid and sparkling spirit. Here we encounter the lively, compassionate and deeply human side of Jung's nature. He writes neither scientifically nor cautiously, but quite spontaneously out of his respective state of mind. He mentions his suffering from various physical ailments to Hedy Wyss, such as heart troubles and rheumatism. At the same time he struggles for the integrity of the analytical relationship and the veracity of love. Jung wrote his most important works during the twenty years of their correspondence, concluding with Mysterium Coniunctionis. Accordingly, in many of his letters to Hedy Wyss, hidden references to the problems he wrestled with at any given time can be found throughout these works. As a result, the content of Jung's letters required a comprehensive commentary. Alongside Jung's works, a private manuscript written by Hedy Wyss, in which, years after his death, she looked back on her encounters with "C.G." or the "Old Sage" as she liked to call him, furthered understanding of many details in the letters. These sources give us a unique insight into C.G. Jung's singular approach as a researcher and analyst.
The concept of 'Archteypes' and the hypothesis of 'A Collective Unconscious' are two of Jung's better known and most exciting ideas. In this volume - taken from the Collected Works and appearing in paperback for the first time - Jung describes and elaborates the two concepts. Three essays establish the theoretical basis which are then followed by essays on specific archetypes. The relation of these to the process of individuation is examined in the last section. The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious is one of Jung's central works. There are many illustrations in full colour.
Well-known for his articulation of the "shadow side" of human individuality and culture, C. G. Jung wrote a great deal about the question of evil throughout his life and in scattered places in his work. In this book his position is pieced together from many sources. In his early work on the unconscious, for instance, he considered the role of evil in the mental processes of the severely disturbed. Later, he viewed the question of moral choice within the framework of his ideas about archetypes and discussions about moral choices, conscience, and the continual ethical reflection that is necessary for all of us. The material here includes letters to Freud and Father Victor White and selections from his writings ranging from his Answer to Job to his travel piece on North Africa.
Alchemical symbolism eventually suggested to Jung that there was a process in the unconscious, one that had a goal beyond discharging tension and hiding pain. In this book, Nathan Schwartz-Salant, a leading Jungian analyst with an interest in alchemy, brings together a key selection of Jung's writings on the subject. These writings expose us to Jung's fascinating reflections on the symbols of alchemy - such as the three-headed Mercurial dragon, hermaphrodites, and lions devouring the sun - and brings us closer to the spirit of his approach to the unconscious, closer than his purely scientific concepts would allow.
Though Jung's main researches have centred on the subject of individuation as an adult ideal he has a unique contribution to make to the psychology of childhood. Jung repeatedly underlined the importance of the psychology of parents and teachers in a child's development and he emphasized that an unsatisfactory psychological relationship between parents may be an important cause of disorders in childhood. He maintained that all real education of children needs teachers who not only know how to learn but who can also develop their own personalities. Jung devotes a large part of the book to expounding his views on these important subjects. There is also an outline of the theory of child development, a delightful snapshot from the life of a girl called Anna and her parents, and a stimulating discussion of marriage as a psychological relationship. Finally there is a chapter on child development and individuation.
At least three major questions can be asked of myth: what is its subject matter? what is its origin? and what is its function? Theories of myth may differ on the answers they give to any of these questions, but more basically they may also differ on which of the questions they ask. C. G. Jung's theory is one of the few that purports to answer fully all three questions. This volume collects and organizes the key passages on myth by Jung himself and by some of the most prominent Jungian writers after him: Erich Neumann, Marie-Louise von Franz, and James Hillman. The book synthesizes the discovery of myth as a way of thinking, where it becomes a therapeutic tool providing an entrance to the unconscious.In the first selections, Jung begins to differentiate his theory from Freud's by asserting that there are fantasies and dreams of an "impersonal" nature that cannot be reduced to experiences in a person's past. Jung then asserts that the similarities among myths are the result of the projection of the collective rather than the personal unconscious onto the external world. Finally, he comes to the conclusion that myth originates and functions to satisfy the psychological need for contact with the unconscious--not merely to announce the existence of the unconscious, but to let us experience it.
In 1925, while transcribing and painting in his Red Book, C. G. Jung presented a series of seminars in English in which he spoke for the first time in public about his early spiritualistic experiences, his encounter with Freud, the genesis of his psychology, and the self-experimentation he called his "confrontation with the unconscious," describing in detail a number of pivotal dreams and fantasies. He then presented an introductory overview of his ideas about psychological typology and the archetypes of the collective unconscious, illustrated with case material and discussions concerning contemporary art. He focused particularly on the contra-sexual elements of the personality, the anima and the animus, which he discussed with the participants through psychological analyses of popular novels, such as Rider Haggard's She. The notes from these seminars form the only reliable published autobiographical account by Jung and the clearest and most important account of the development of his work. This revised edition features additional annotations, information from the Red Book, and an introduction by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London.
This comprehensive collection of writings by the epoch-shaping Swiss psychoanalyst was edited by Joseph Campbell, himself the most famous of Jung's American followers. It comprises Jung's pioneering studies of the structure of the psyche—including the works that introduced such notions as the collective unconscious, the Shadow, Anima and Animus—as well as inquries into the psychology of spirituality and creativity, and Jung's influential "On Synchronicity," a paper whose implications extend from the I Ching to quantum physics. Campbell's introduction completes this compact volume, placing Jung's astonishingly wide-ranging oeuvre within the context of his life and times.
The Practice of Psychotherapy brings together Jung's essays on general questions of analytic therapy and dream analysis. It also contains his profoundly interesting parallel between the transference phenomena and alchemical processes.
C. G. Jung had a lifelong interest in the paranormal that culminated in his influential theory of synchronicity. Combining extracts taken from the Collected Works; letters; the autobiographical Memories, Dreams, Reflections; and transcripts of seminars, Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal sets out clearly his seminal contribution to our understanding of this controversial area.In his introduction, Roderick Main discusses Jung's encounters with and observations of the paranormal, the influences that contributed to his theory of synchronicity, and the central ideas of the theory itself. The selections include Jung's writings on mediumistic trance phenomena, spirits and hauntings, anomalous events in the development and practice of analytical psychology, and the divinatory techniques of astrology and the I Ching. The book also features Jung's most lucid account of his theory in the form of his short essay "On Synchronicity," and a number of Jung's less-known writings on parapsychology, his astrological experiment, and the relationship between mind and body.Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal addresses subjects that were fundamental to Jung's personal and professional development. Probing deeply into the theory of synchronicity, Roderick Main clarifies issues that have long been a source of confusion to Jung's readers.
One of the world's greatest psychiatrists reveals how to embrace our own humanity and resist the pressures of an ever-changing world. In this challenging and provocative work, Dr. Carl Jung—one of history's greatest minds—argues that civilization's future depends on our ability as individuals to resist the collective forces of society. Only by gaining an awareness and understanding of one's unconscious mind and true, inner nature—"the undiscovered self"—can we as individuals acquire the self-knowledge that is antithetical to ideological fanaticism. But this requires that we face our fear of the duality of the human psyche—the existence of good and the capacity for evil in every individual. In this seminal book, Jung compellingly argues that only then can we begin to cope with the dangers posed by mass society—"the sum total of individuals"—and resist the potential threats posed by those in power.
This ancient Chinese manual of spiritual alchemy was brought to the West in translation by missionary and theologian Richard Wilhelm who is assisted in this book by Carl Jung. Averse to the blind aping of oriental ways, Jung suggests that Eastern treasures are best used to enrich our understanding of the work we have to do on ourselves and our culture.
This volume from the Collected Works of C.G. Jung has become known as perhaps the best introduction to Jung's work. In these famous essays he presented the essential core of his system. This is the first paperback publication of this key work in its revised and augmented second edition. The earliest versions of the essays are included in an Appendices, containing as they do the first tentative formulations of Jung's concept of archetypes and the collective unconscious, as well as his germinating theory of types.
"As a doctor, I make every effort to strengthen the belief in immortality, especially with older patients when such questions come threateningly close. For, seen in correct psychological perspective, death is not an end but a goal, and life's inclination towards death begins as soon as the meridian is past."--C.G. Jung, commentary on "The Secret of the Golden Flower"Here collected for the first time are Jung's views on death and immortality, his writings often coinciding with the death of the most significant people in his life. The book shows many of the major themes running throughout the writings, including the relativity of space and time surrounding death, the link between transference and death, and the archetypes shared among the world's religions at the depths of the Self. The book includes selections from "On Resurrection," "The Soul and Death," "Concerning Rebirth," "Psychological Commentary on The Tibetan Book of the Dead" from the "Collected Works, " "Letter to Pastor Pfafflin" from "Letters, " and "On Life after Death."
The basic introduction to the thought of Jung, one of the founders of modern psychiatry. Here Jung examines some of the most contested and crucial areas in the field of analytical psychology: dream analysis, the primitive unconscious, and the relationship between psychology and religion. -- Publisher
In this, his most famous and influential work, Carl Jung made a dramatic break from the psychoanalytic tradition established by his mentor, Sigmund Freud. Rather than focusing on psychopathology and its symptoms, the Swiss psychiatrist studied dreams, mythology, and literature to define the universal patterns of the psyche.
This remarkable work is Jung's vigorous defence of his reputation following accusations after the Second World War that he was a Nazi sympathiser and supported their racial ideology.
Psychology and the East collects together many of Jung's most memorable writings on the East, its philosophy and culture. Now published in the bestselling Routledge Classics series, this collection includes the legendary thinker's Psychological commentaries on the I Ching and The Tibetan Book of the Dead, his thoughts on Buddhism and Islam and a full travelogue of Jung's revelatory first visit to India in 1936.
Part One of the book is concerned with western religion, and considers the relationship of medieval alchemy, Christianity and modern psychology. A comparative analysis of two aspects of orthodox Christianity and five shorter essays end Part One. Part Two opens with commentaries on Tibetan Buddhism and closes with the Chinese Taoist classic, the "I Ching"
Jung's seminar on Kundalini yoga, presented to the Psychological Club in Zurich in 1932, has been widely regarded as a milestone in the psychological understanding of Eastern thought and of the symbolic transformations of inner experience. Kundalini yoga presented Jung with a model for the developmental phases of higher consciousness, and he interpreted its symbols in terms of the process of individuation. Sonu Shamdasani has brought together the lectures and discussions from this seminar for the first time. This volume also offers newly translated material from Jung's German language seminars, a seminar by the indologist Wilhelm Hauer presented in conjunction with that of Jung, and Sir John Woodroffe's classic translation of the tantric text, the Sat-cakra-nirupana.
In On the Nature of the Psyche Jung presents a masterly overview of his
theories of the unconscious, and its relation to the conscious mind. schovat

C. G. Jung, son of a Swiss Reformed pastor, used his Christian background throughout his career to illuminate the psychological roots of all religions. Jung believed religion was a profound, psychological response to the unknown--both the inner self and the outer worlds--and he understood Christianity to be a profound meditation on the meaning of the life of Jesus of Nazareth within the context of Hebrew spirituality and the Biblical worldview.Murray Stein's introduction relates Jung's personal relationship with Christianity to his psychological views on religion in general, his hermeneutic of religious thought, and his therapeutic attitude toward Christianity. This volume includes extensive selections from "Psychological Approach to the Dogma of the Trinity," "Christ as a Symbol of the Self," from Aion, "Answer to Job," letters to Father Vincent White from Letters, and many more.First published in 1999.Murray Stein, Ph.D., is the author of Jung's Treatment of Christianity, Practicing Wholeness, Transformation--Emergence of the Self, and Jung's Map of the Soul. He is an international lecturer and teacher, and currently vice president of the International Association for Analytical Psychology. He is also a training analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago.
Jung was by temperament sympathetic to the Eastern attitude of introversion and to the idea of 'the God inside'. He understood the Eastern emphasis on detachment and inner vision, and his lifelong interest in Eastern religion and philosophy is clear from his earliest work. This selection presents extracts from Jung's writings on the philosophy and culture of Asia. Opening with his commentary on The Secret of the Golden Flower, the book includes his psychological commentaries on The Tibetan Book of the Dead and The Tibetan Book of the Great Liberation; his famous foreword to the I Ching; an evaluation of a translation of the Discourses of the Buddha; and an essay written to introduce a collection of the teachings of Shri Ramana Maharshi.
A selection of Jung's writings on the anima/animus concept. Provocative and controversial, it offers readers the opportunity to discover at first hand just how radical Jung's arguments are.
While Jung is known mainly for his theories on the nature of the unconscious mind, he did have an interest in the paranormal. In this essay, Jung applies his analytical skills to the UFO phenomenon. Rather than assuming that the modern prevalence of UFO sightings are due to extraterrestrial craft, Jung reserves judgment on their origin and connects UFOs with archetypal imagery, concluding that they have become a "living myth." This essay is intriguing in its methodology and implications as to the nature of UFOs and their relation to the human psyche.
Set in 1900, the story explores the intense and complex relationship between Helene Preiswerk and her cousin, Carl Gustav Jung. Helene is depicted as a reserved yet passionate young woman, characterized by her slender build and penetrating dark eyes. Despite her average academic performance and lack of conventional talents, she finds joy in handwork and daydreaming. Jung's observations reveal a deep emotional connection, hinting at the profound impact of their bond on both their lives.
Science of Mythology provides an account of the meaning and the purpose of

The Spirit in Man, Art and Literature offers unique and penetrating insights into the lives and opinions of some of the most significant players in the cultural life of the twentieth century. Carl Gustav Jung was at the heart of that cultural life, pioneering, along with Freud, a new interpretation of what it meant to be human in the modern age. This volume reveals the full range of Jung's involvement in this process, from his famous analysis of 'Psychology and Literature' to his landmark texts on Joyce's Ulysses and Picasso's paintings. Jung writes of Freud from the perspective of one who was "permitted a deep glimpse into the mind of this remarkable man," and through the memories and opinions recorded in The Spirit in Man, Art and Literature, the reader is offered a similar privilege.
In May 1956, in his eighty-second year, Jung first discussed with Gerhard Adler the question of the publication of his letters. Over many years, Jung had often used the medium of letters to communicate his ideas to others and to clarify the interpretation of his work, quite apart from answering people who approached him with genuine problems of their own and simply corresponding with friends and colleagues. Many of his letters thus contain new creative ideas and provide a running commentary on his work. From some 1,600 letters written by Jung between the years 1906-1961, the editors have selected over 1,000. Volume 1, published in 1973, contains those letters written between 1906 and 1950.
Edited and introduced by STANTON MARLAN, Salt and the Alchemical Soul is a collection of three papers from Freudian, Jungian, and Archetypal Psychology, newly edited and introduced, providing excellent examples of different methods and styles of working with images. ERNEST JONES, in his essay "The Symbolic Significance of Salt in Folklore and Superstition," attempts to apply psychoanalysis as a "new science" to an understanding of superstition. C.¿G. JUNG's investigation into alchemy in "Sal" leads him to see salt as the principle of Eros at the base of the self. JAMES HILLMAN, using the image of salt, looks into the alchemical way of psychologizing, in "The Suffering of Salt." (Second, revised edition)
Focusing on the innovative psychotherapeutic technique of active imagination, this book presents C. G. Jung's 1931 seminar that explores how individuals can consciously engage with their fantasies through artistic expression. Jung illustrates the connection between these creative outputs and the individuation process, drawing parallels with Eastern esoteric traditions like Tantrism and Kundalini Yoga. The lectures provide valuable insights into Jung's theories, emphasizing the significance of active imagination in modern art therapy and its roots in his earlier self-analysis documented in the Red Book.
This classical work is a significant contribution to the fields of philosophy and psychology, exploring the foundations of psychoanalysis. Recognized throughout history, it has been carefully preserved and republished by Alpha Editions in a modern format, ensuring clarity and readability. The book is thoughtfully reformatted and redesigned, making it accessible for contemporary and future readers. Its exploration of the interplay between psychology and religion adds depth to its philosophical insights.
The book presents C. G. Jung's 1933 seminar on yoga's symbolism and its relevance to dream analysis, held during a politically charged time in Germany. It features insights from Indologist Heinrich Zimmer and explores Jung's engagement with Hindu traditions, particularly Tantric yoga. Jung examines a patient's dreams, emphasizing mandalas and their connection to various symbolic motifs, including alchemy and labyrinths. With an introduction by Giovanni Sorge, it highlights Jung's evolving understanding of Eastern thought and the individuation process during a pivotal period in his career.
This unique anthology brings together material from 38 well-known writers, artists, and scientists who attempt to describe the process by which original ideas come to them. Contributors include Albert Einstein, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Amy Lowell, Rudyard Kipling, Max Ernst, Katherine Anne Porter, Henry Miller, Carl Gustav Jung, Mary Wigman, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Henri Poincaré and many others.
Revidované vydání čtvrtého svazku „Výboru z díla C. G. Junga“. Kniha obsahuje Jungovy texty: Psychologie a náboženství; Symbol proměny ve mši; Odpověď na Jóba.
Rozhovory z let 1933–1961 jedinečným způsobem zachycují vývoj osobnosti C. G. Junga a jeho ducha. Soubor tvoří zhruba 20 interview pro noviny, časopisy, rozhlas i televizi. Obsažen je i rozhovor s Johnem Freemanem pro televizní stanici BBC, jenž proslul tím, že se v něm Jung svou slavnou větou „Nemusím věřit, ale vím“ vyjadřuje k víře v Boha. Jung v rozhovorech např. popisuje svůj vztah s Freudem a postoj ke klasické psychoanalýze, vyjadřuje názory na válečnou a poválečnou dobu (včetně odkazů na Československo), na německou mentalitu, odpovídá na obvinění, že kolaboroval s nacismem, vysvětluje základní alchymické koncepty, pojem archetypu či téma osobnostní typologie, zmiňuje se o své rodině. Rozhovory umožňují nahlédnout do způsobu, jakým Jung komunikoval, a odhalují informace, které se jinak v jeho knihách či statích hledají jen těžko.
C. G. Jung ve svých spisech předložil svůj komplexní obraz člověka a rozvinul celistvou koncepci procesu uzdravení. Podle renomovaných jungovských analytiček Vereny Kastové a Ingrid Riedelové je v Jungově díle centrální pojetí tvořivé dimenze, stávání se a rozvoje, jež je vlastní každé existenci. Má-li člověk, byť jen v nepatrné míře přístup k této tvořivé dimenzi, může docházet k jeho růstu. Proto se Jung vztahuje tak často k sebeúzdravným silám v člověku a k jeho zdrojům. S tímto ohledem editorky vybraly zásadní a dobře srozumitelné Jungovy texty (např. Analytická psychologie, O vztahu psychoterapie k duchovní péči, Cíle psychoterapie atd.), které již generacím psychoterapeutů poskytují praktická vodítka pro jejich terapeutickou práci.
Přes tisíc citátů z celoživotního díla švýcarského psychiatra, psychologa, psychoterapeuta a jednoho z nejvýznamějších myslitelů dvacátéo století Carla Gustava Junga, které kniha obsahuje, představuje jistém smyslu duchovní kompendium současné západní moudrosti. Vybrala je Jungova žačka a spolupracovnice Jolanda Jacobiová a seřadila je tematicky v šestnácti kapitolách do čtyř základních existenciálních okruhů pojednávajících o skutečnosti duše a jejích vztazích, o říši hodnot a o posledních věcech.
Švýcarský psycholog C.G. Jung (1875 - 1961), jeden z nejvýznamnějších myslitelů 20. století, je autorem rozsáhlého díla, jehož neoddělitelnou součástí je i jeho korespondence.

Snové symboly individuačního procesu.
Revidované vydání pátého svazku „Výboru z díla C. G. Junga“. Kniha obsahuje první část Jungovy rozsáhlé práce „Psychologie a alchymie“. Po „Úvodu do nábožensko-psychologické problematiky alchymie“ následuje zásadní příspěvek k tématu individuace: „Snové symboly individuačního procesu“; v něm se autor zabývá snovými obrazy provázejícími onen proces, v jehož průběhu každý člověk naplňuje své určení. Jung z velmi rozsáhlé snové série vybral pro účely této části 59 snů, které neobsahují osobní materiál a mohou proto sloužit k demonstraci obecných pravidel interpretace a správného porozumění symbolickým snovým obrazům. Text je doplněn množstvím černobílých ilustrací, aktualizovaným poznámkovým aparátem a rejstříkem.
