(P/B) FOUR ARCHETYPES
One of Jung's most influential ideas has been his view, presented here, that primordial images, or archetypes, dwell deep within the unconscious of every human being. The essays in this volume gather together Jung's most important statements on the archetypes, beginning with the introduction of the concept in "Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious." In separate essays, he elaborates and explores the archetypes of the Mother and the Trickster, considers the psychological meaning of the myths of Rebirth, and contrasts the idea of Spirits...

(P/B) DREAMS
Dream analysis is a distinctive and foundational part of analytical psychology, the school of psychology founded by C. G. Jung and his successors. This volume collects Jung's most insightful contributions to the study of dreams and their meaning. The essays in this volume, written by Jung between 1909 and 1945, reveal Jung's most essential views about dreaming--especially regarding the relationship between language and dream. Through these studies, Jung grew to understand that dreams are themselves a language, a language through which the ...

(P/B) THE ARCHETYPES AND THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS
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. ...

ΣΥΜΒΟΛΑ ΤΗΣ ΜΕΤΑΜΟΡΦΩΣΗΣ
Αιτία της συγγραφής αυτού του βιβλίου ήταν η διαφορά των θέσεων του Γιουνγκ από τις θέσεις της ψυχανάλυσης σχετικά με τη δομή της ανθρώπινης ψυχής και την παθογένεια των ψυχικών νοσημάτων. Αφορμή ήταν το κείμενο των φαντασιώσεων μιας νεαρής Αμερικανίδας, της Miss Miller, η οποία αργότερα αρρώστησε από σοβαρό ψυχικό νόσημα. Είναι ένα από τα σημαντικότερα κείμενα του μεγάλου ελβετού ψυχολόγου και η πρώτη εκτενής ψυχοδυναμική του μελέτη, η οποία γνώρισε προσθήκες και αλλαγές στις εκδόσεις που ακολούθησαν μετά την αρχική, ώστε στο τέλος να γίν...

(P/B) ON THE NATURE OF THE PSYCHE
Jung's discovery of the 'collective unconscious', a psychic inheritance common to all humankind, transformed the understanding of the self and the way we interpret the world. In On the Nature of the Psyche Jung describes this remarkable theory in his own words, and presents a masterly overview of his theories of the unconscious, and its relation to the conscious mind. Also contained in this collection is On Psychic Energy, where Jung defends his interpretation of the libido, a key factor in the breakdown of his relations with Freud. For an...

ΑΠΑΝΤΗΣΗ ΣΤΟΝ ΙΩΒ
(. . .) Η Βίβλος διαβάζεται και πιστεύεται κατά γράμμα από πάρα πολλούς. Και κανείς δεν επιτρέπει στον εαυτό του να προσέξει τις αντινομίες της και να διακρίνει πίσω από τα «γεγονότα» που τη συνιστούν, τη διαδοχική μεταμόρφωση που έχει υποστεί η αντίληψη για το Θεό μέσα στους αιώνες. Αυτό ακριβώς το κενό στη σύγχρονη συνείδηση έρχεται να πληρώσει ο Γιούνγκ με αυτό το εκπληκτικό σε σύλληψη βιβλίο του. Ο τίτλος του «Απάντηση στον Ιώβ», σημαίνει ότι, στη μεταγενέστερη μεταμόρφωσή του, ο Θεός δίνει την ικανοποίηση στον άνθρωπο για τη σκληρή κα...

(P/B) ASPECTS OF THE FEMININE
'Love is a force of destiny whose power reaches from heaven to hell.' So Jung advises while reflecting on 'The Love Problem of a Student', an essay contained in this volume. But it is not just love that Jung speaks of in this book. Taking as its theme Jung's interpretation of the feminine principle in his hugely influential theories about the inner world of the individual, it guides the reader from the mythological archetype of the mother-figure to the experience of women in twentieth-century Europe, explaining along the way concepts cruci...

ΑΠΑΝΤΗΣΗ ΣΤΟΝ ΙΩΒ
Όπως μας προειδοποιεί ο Γιούγκ στο προλογικό του σημείωμα, η "Απάντηση στον Ιώβ" είναι ίσως το πιο παθιασμένο βιβλίο του, ή τουλάχιστον το πιο παθιασμένο από τα επιστημονικά του έργα. Πρωτοδημοσιεύτηκε το 1952 στα Γερμανικά και αποτελεί μέρος του 11ου τόμου των "Απάντων" του. Ο Γιούγκ είχε καταπιαστεί με το θέμα του Χριστιανικού μύθου και του Θεού πιο θεωρητικά στο βιβλίο του "Αιών", ένα ή δύο χρόνια νωρίτερα από τον "Ιώβ". Αν εφαρμόσουμε το κλασσικό Γιουγκιανό μοντέλο κατανόησης, την Τυπολογία, για να εντοπίσουμε την αντίθεση ανάμεσά τους...

ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΕΣ (ΕΠΙΛΟΓΗ)
Λέγεται για τον μεγάλο Ελβετό ψυχολόγο - ψυχίατρο, Καρλ Γιουγκ, ότι είναι ο Μαγγελάνος του Ασυνείδητου. Τον ονομάζουν, επίσης, «Ποιητή του Πνεύματος». Και οι δυο χαρακτηρισμοί είναι εύστοχοι, αν αναλογιστεί κανείς ότι αυτός πρώτος ανεκάλυψε το Συλλογικό Ασυνείδητο στα βάθη της ανθρώπινης ψυχής και ότι της έδωσε μια νέα, τεράστια διάσταση που αγκαλιάζει μιαν άγνωστη, αόρατη και πνευματική περιοχή. Βαθύς γνώστης της ανθρώπινης ψυχής, εισχώρησε παράλληλα στους τομείς της συγκριτικής Θρησκείας, της Μυθολογίας, της Φιλοσοφίας, της Ιστορίας, του...

(P/B) THE SPIRIT IN MAN, ART AND LITERATURE
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.

(P/B) THE ESSENTIAL JUNG
A sparkling and up-to-date new cover for one of Fontana Press's strongest-selling titles. This compact volume of extracts from the twenty volumes of Jung's published writings presents him clearly, in his own words and in precis. Jung's writing is the key to understanding 20th-century psychology, psychiatry and psychoanalysis.

(P/B) PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPES
Psychological Types is one of Jung's most important and famous works. First published in English by Routledge in the early 1920s it appeared after Jung's so-called fallow period, during which he published little, and it is perhaps the first significant book to appear after his own confrontation with the unconscious. It is the book that introduced the world to the terms 'extravert' and 'introvert'. Though very much associated with the unconscious, in Psychological Types Jung shows himself to be a supreme theorist of the conscious. In puttin...

(P/B) FLYING SAUCERS
Written in the late 1950s at the height of popular fascination with UFO's, Flying Saucers is the great psychologist's brilliantly prescient meditation on the phenomenon that gripped the world. A self-confessed sceptic in such matters, Jung was nevertheless intrigued, not so much by their reality or unreality, but by their psychic aspect. He saw flying saucers as a modern myth in the making, to be passed down the generations just as we have received such myths from our ancestors. In this wonderful and enlightening book Jung sees UFO's as 'v...

(P/B) ESSAYS ON CONTEMPORARY EVENTS
Was the leading psychologist of his time a Nazi sympathiser? This was the question asked by many after the Second World War, as they sought to explain Jung's actions and publications during Nazi rule. So great was the controversy that his reputation risked being permanently damaged. Essays on Contemporary Events was the first broadside in his vigorous defence of his beleaguered reputation. This remarkable work is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Jung. It will enable the reader to decide: was Jung wholly innocent of the ac...

(P/B) PSYCHOLOGY AND THE OCCULT
A fifteen-year-old girl who claimed regular communications with the spirits of her dead friends and relatives was the subject of the very first published work by the now legendary psychoanalyst C.G. Jung. Collected here, alongside many of his later writings on such subjects as life after death, telepathy and ghosts, it was to mark just the start of a professional and personal interest - even obsession - that was to last throughout Jung's lifetime. Written by one of the greatest and most controversial thinkers of the twentieth century, Psyc...

(P/B) THE PSYCHOLOGY OF KUNDALINI YOGA
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. With sensitivity toward a new generation's interest in alternative religions and psychological exploration, Sonu Shamdasani has brought...

(P/B) THE UNDISCOVERED SELF
In The Undiscovered Self Jung explains the essence of his teaching for a readership unfamiliar with his ideas. He highlights the importance of individual responsibility and freedom in the context of today's mass society, and argues that individuals must organize themselves as effectively as the organized mass if they are to resist joining it. To help them achieve this he sets out his influential programme for achieving self-understanding and self-realization. The Undiscovered Self is a book that will awaken many individuals to the new life...

(P/B) PSYCHOLOGY AND THE EAST
Jung was by temperament sympathetic to the Eastern attitude of introversion and to the idea of 'the God inside'.

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...
