Publisher Description
The first fully illustrated biography of Carl Jung—the great 20th-century thinker famous for his pioneering exploration of dreams, consciousness, and spirituality in psychology
Carl Jung continues to be revered today as a true revolutionary who helped to shape psychology, provided a bridge between Western and Eastern spirituality, and brought into general awareness such fundamental concepts as archetypes, the collective unconscious, and synchronicity. In this important book, Claire Dunne chronicles Jung’s journey of self-discovery from a childhood filled with visions both terrifying and profound, through his early professional success, to his rediscovery of spirituality in mid-life. Special attention is paid to the tumultuous relationships between Jung and Sigmund Freud, the unconventional yet vital role performed by his colleague Toni Wolff, and the revelatory visions Jung experienced following a close brush with death.
The words of Jung himself and those who shared his work and private life are shared verbatim, connected by Claire Dunne’s lively and accessible commentary and by an evocative array of illustrations—including photographs of Jung, his associates, and the environments in which he lived and worked, as well as art images both ancient and contemporary that reflect Jung’s teachings. Jung emerges as a healer whose skills arose from having first attended to the wounds in his own soul.
This is an essential work of reference as well as a fascinating and entertaining read for everyone interested in psychology, spirituality, and personal development.
Customer Reviews
Great Book - Extremely Buggy Conversion
I purchased this book and shockingly discovered many pages (>40) are missing. Hot-linked endnotes are blacked-out (dead) which refer to missing pages in the digital volume. Epub Conversion is terrible. The personal pronoun “I” is replaced with “A” in several places in the book. Dunn’s book is lucid, precise, and thorough. This Epub transfer is abysmal—in fact the worts I’ve seen—and it does Dunne fine scholarship a terrible disservice. I spoke with two helpful Apple reps who investigated and verified the foregoing. Happily they offered me a refund. What I would like even more though is for the publisher to provide a clean, edited copy to the iBook store so I can purchase the digital version again. Until a corrected version is made available, I strongly discourage purchasing this book in its digital format.
