About
Carl Jung's Collected Papers on Analytical Psychology gathers in one volume some of his most important and influential shorter writings, and also some pieces that from our perspective, almost a century later, seem quaint or even idiosyncractic. The volume includes his famous study of a trance medium, a study on number-symbolism, his lectures on the word-association test, applications to child psychology, the role of the father-figure in psychic life; the letters between Jung and Loy on the practice of psychoanalysis; his presentation of extraversion and introversion; his opinions on the psychology of dreams; a long essay on analysis of psychotic conditions, and a very intriguing exploration of what the future of psychoanalysis looked like a century ago--an analysis with startling relationships to modern neuroscience. The volume provides wonderful insight into his mind and thought as he reached a position of prominence in the world of psychoanalysis. Enjoy!
