Jung and Intuition: On the Centrality and Variety of Forms of Intuition in Jung and Post-Jungians

by Nathalie Pilard

Jung and Intuition examines for the first time the twelve categories of intuition described in both the works of C. G. Jung and the post-Jungians. Nowhere, other than in Jung's own work, has intuition been more fully treated. Each form of intuition is critically explained in the historical context of its appearance and located in one of the four spheres of Jung's the unconscious, the subconscious (Unterbewusste, consciousness, and Jungian and post-Jungian practice. This work brings Jung's entire psychology in all its depth from 1896 to its contemporary use into greater clarity for both professionals and lay readers.Natalie Pilard persuasively shows that intuition is at the heart of Jung's psychology. It is central to his concept of the archetypes as well as to his understanding of the subconscious and the active imagination. It also involves both clinical and philosophical approaches, as powerfully demonstrated by his pioneering work at the Burgholzli Klinik in Zurich.

It was bad to okay-ish for me. I was searching for sources about Post-Jungianism but this was not for me. The book almost solely focuses on "intuition" and barely talks about other theories. Also, the excessive use of German words and quotations made it even more difficult to follow. There were some parts that were kind of useful to me but other than that, this book was definitely not for me. Other than that, I don't think it's a good source for people who study Jung or are interested in Jungian psychology. Thanks but no thanks.
