The Complete Works of Carl Jung. Vol.1. Illustrated: Psychological Types, The Theory of Psychoanalysis, The Association Method, Psychology of the Unconscious and others

by C.G. Jung, H.G. Baynes (Translator), Frederick Peterson (Translator)

This first volume of The Complete Works of Carl Jung presents a landmark collection of his early and foundational writings, offering a deep dive into the formative ideas that would shape 20th-century depth psychology. Richly illustrated and thoughtfully curated, this edition includes seminal works such as Psychological Types, The Theory of Psychoanalysis, The Association Method, and Psychology of the Unconscious, among others.

In Psychological Types, Jung introduces the enduring concepts of introversion and extraversion, as well as the four psychological functions—thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition—laying the groundwork for modern personality theory. The Theory of Psychoanalysis explores his critical engagement with Freud's views, marking Jung's departure toward a more symbolic and spiritual understanding of the psyche.

The Association Method showcases Jung’s pioneering work in experimental psychology, using word-association tests to explore unconscious complexes. Meanwhile, Psychology of the Unconscious presents his early exploration of dreams, fantasies, and myth, offering insight into the symbolic dimension of the human mind.

Together, these writings trace Jung’s intellectual journey from psychiatrist to founder of analytical psychology. With meticulous insight and an unwavering curiosity about the soul, Jung’s early works remain essential for anyone interested in psychology, philosophy, or the nature of human consciousness.

This illustrated edition brings these classic texts to life for a new generation of readers, making it an indispensable volume for students, scholars, and seekers alike.

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.
