Analytic Psychology Vol 1 Of 2 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Analytic Psychology, Vol. 1 of 2 When I first planned the present work, it was my intention to follow the genetic order Of treatment. But I found my self baffled in the attempt to do this without a preparatory analysis of the developed consciousness. Our knowledge Of mental processes, as we can observe and infer them in our own ordinary experience, is essential as a clue to the nature Of mental process at lower levels. I therefore found myself driven to pave the way for genetic treatment by a previous analytic investigation; and the result was the present work. It must therefore be regarded, even in respect to my own plan of procedure, as a fragment of a larger whole. This will explain certain omissions which might otherwise appear strange. I have passed by whatever appeared capable Of more efficient treatment from a genetic point of view. Thus, I have reserved the psychological investigation of Space and Time, the stages in the development Of self-consciousness and of Will, and similar questions. I may say that my strongest psychological interest lies in certain genetic ques tions, and especially in those on which ethnographic evidence can be brought to bear.

Excerpt from Analytical Psychology It will be a relief to many students of the' Unconscious to see in it another aspect than that of a wild beast couched, waiting its hour to spring. Some readers have gathered that view of it from the writings of the Viennese School. This view is at most that dangerous thing a half-truth.

William James' The Principles of Psychology, Volume One is an epic work in the field of psychology and one of the most well known books of the discipline. James was a philosopher and psychologist who spent most of his adult life employed by Harvard University, where he developed and taught some of the most influential psychological theories of the time. The book opens with an analysis of the functions of the brain and a discussion of the scope of psychology. From there, James' focus is primarily on the localization of functions within the brain, or how specific parts of the brain act as neural centres for the human body's senses. James relies on a comparative method in which humans are compared to other animals, and the importance of instincts in shaping the actions of man are discussed in detail. The primary value in reading the work of William James is to absorb the author's ability to contextualize psychology. Much of what is known about psychology today is a direct result of the foundation laid by James. If one wants truly to understand the present, it is important to understand the past. The Principles of Psychology, Volume One is rightly considered a masterpiece. For the experienced student of psychology, this book is an absolute must-read. It is a work that begs to be meditated upon and will surely ruminate in your consciousness long after you turn the last page. A true classic.

Each contributor has selected a piece of their work which they feel best represents their research and clinical interests, each aiding the expansion of current discussions on Jung and contemporary analytical psychology studies. Spanning two volumes, which are also accessible as standalone books, this essential collection will be of interest to Jungian analysts and therapists, as well as to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies.

"... these lectures provide an extremely clear, readable, and at times amusing exposition of Jung's theories. In them Jung not only describes his views on the structure of the mind, giving lucid accounts of his psychological types, of the personal and collective unconscious and of archetypes, but also explains vividly his techniques of dream analysis and active imagination and the role played by transference in analytic therapy." -- Charles Rycroft, The New York Review of Books "...Jung was a charismatic personality: and this volume bears witness not only to his erudition and his originality but also to his charm and his persuasiveness." -- The Times Literary Supplement (London) "This, surely, is the most lucid, simple and orderly introduction to the basic principles and methods of the Jungian science of the psyche that has yet been offered to the public."

Excerpt from Analysis of the Phenomena of the Human Mind, Vol. 1 of 2 IN the study of Nature, either mental or physical, the aim of the scientific enquirer is to diminish as much as possible the catalogue of ultimate truths. When, Without doing violence to facts, he is able'to bring one phenomenon within the laws of another; when he can shew that a fact or agency, which seemed to be original and distinct, could have been produced by other'known facts and agencies, acting according to their own laws the enquirer who has arrived at this result, considers himself to have made an important advance in the knowledge Of nature, and to have brought science, in that department, a step nearer to perfection. Other accessions to science, however important practically, are, in a scientificpoint of view, mere additions to the materials this is something done towards perfectn the structure itself.

In this volume, Paul Bishop investigates the extent to which analytical psychology draws on concepts found in German classical aesthetics. It aims to place analytical psychology in the German-speaking tradition of Goethe and Schiller, with which Jung was well acquainted. Analytical Psychology and German Classical Aesthetics argues that analytical psychology appropriates many of its central notions from German classical aesthetics, and that, when seen in its intellectual historical context, the true originality of analytical psychology lies in its reformulation of key tenets of German classicism. Although the importance for Jung of German thought in general, and of Goethe and Schiller in particular, has frequently been acknowledged, until now it has never been examined in any detailed or systematic way. Through an analysis of Jung’s reception of Goethe and Schiller, Analytical Psychology and German Classical Aesthetics demonstrates the intellectual continuity within analytical psychology and the filiation of ideas from German classical aesthetics to Jungian thought. In this way it suggests that a rereading of analytical psychology in the light of German classical aesthetics offers an intellectually coherent understanding of analytical psychology. By uncovering the philosophical sources of analytical psychology, this first volume returns Jung’s thought to its core intellectual tradition, in the light of which analytical psychology gains new critical impact and fresh relevance for modern thought. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, this book will interest students and scholars alike in the areas of analytical psychology, comparative literature, and the history of ideas.

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.

Excerpt from Psycho-Analysis and Everyman Some quarter of a century ago, in the effort to heal certain mental troubles, a curative method was evolved to which was given the name Psycho analysis. The development oi this method and its employ ment were for some ten years the work of one man alone, in the face of hostile indifference or active ridicule. This man is Dr. Sigmund Freud, a Viennese doctor; by race a Jew. Were the applications of psycho-analysis confined to extreme cases of mental disease, the educated layman, for whom this book is intended, might well ask why he should concern himself with a difficult, and, by popular report, somewhat um pleasant, branch of medical science. On the contrary, psycho-analysis affects by implication our whole conception of Life, our ideas of right and wrong, our morals, our religion.
