About the author

Carl Gustav Jung (/jʊŋ/; German: [ˈkarl ˈɡʊstaf jʊŋ]), often referred to as C. G. Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion; archetypes, and the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. He was a prolific writer, many of whose works were not published until after his death.

The central concept of analytical psychology is individuation—the psychological process of integrating the opposites, including the conscious with the unconscious, while still maintaining their relative autonomy. Jung considered individuation to be the central process of human development.

Jung created some of the best known psychological concepts, including the archetype, the collective unconscious, the complex, and synchronicity. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a popular psychometric instrument, has been developed from Jung's theory of psychological types.

Though he was a practising clinician and considered himself to be a scientist, much of his life's work was spent exploring tangential areas such as Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, as well as literature and the arts. Jung's interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic, although his ambition was to be seen as a man of science. His influence on popular psychology, the "psychologization of religion", spirituality and the New Age movement has been immense.

[tea, boginja opste prakse]

znaci ova knjiga i knjiga arhetipovi i kolektivno nesvjesno su isto sranje drugo pakovanje ali TOPPPPP

[Biljana Milanović · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ako vas zanima istraživanje snova iz ugla psihologije, pročitajte ovu knjigu. Mnogo zanimljivih paralela sa različitim religijama, drugim naučnim i književnim djelima. Međutim, sam narativ je skoro kao tok misli sa mnoštvo referenci na latinskom (pogotovo pred kraj), pa je teško u potpunosti razumjeti reference bez obimnog klasičnog obrazovanja, što je većina čitača (pa i ja).

One of the best fucking books I have read in my entire life. Near the end it gets ridiculously dense and full of latin and historical references, but the incredible value of this information is not to be ignored.
