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.

Peeling me like an onion

Książka, którą należy czytać powoli. Nie należy się obawiać, że będzie zbyt trudna. Język jest bardzo przystępny, a sam Jung charakteryzuje się lekkością wypowiedzi. Jednak pozycja jest długa (to mimo wszystko ponad 800 stron) i warta kontemplowania nad nią.
Moim zdaniem zdecydowanie lepsza od "Człowieka i jego symboli", obszerniejsza, chociaż nie tak uporządkowana. Z czasem podejmowane tematy zdają się też powtarzać i w pewnym momencie ma się wrażenie, że kręcimy się w kółko.
Już pierwsze wykłady pozwalają nakreślić jak wyglądało analizowanie snów przez Junga. Osobiście, analizy były dla mnie czymś zarówno fascynującym i zaskakująco trafnym, jak i szalonym. Czymś co trzeba przyjąć na wiarę, nie będąc pewnym czy dana analiza jest rzeczywiście w pełni trafna.
To nie tylko książka o psychologii. To książka o religii, mitologii, filozofii Wschodu i Zachodu, baśniach, symbolach. I chociaż niektóre wypowiedzi o naturze mężczyzn i kobiet wydawały mi się nieaktualne w dzisiejszych czasach, sama psychologia Junga jest czymś nakłaniającym do przemyśleń, a przy tym jest niesłychanie inspirująca.

i wish Jung was my psychology professor
opening a thousand subjects within one
a bit drowsy near the end

During those seminars Jung presented a few intricate dreams of one particular patient of his. He, as usual, explained their meanings through myths, archetypes and daily occurrences of his patient. Quite a read but you may get lost if you have not fully or partially grasped his concepts and have a slight background in mythological stories.

به عقیده یونگ یکی از ابزارهایی که در شناخت تار و پود شخصیت آدم‌ها نقش مهمی دارد رویاهای آدم‌هاست. رویاهای ما استقلال غریبی از خودآگاه ما دارند و فوق‌العاده با ارزش‌اند چون تقلب نمی‌کنند و ما نمی‌توانیم در آن‌ها دخل و تصرف کنیم. رویا می‌تواند کلیدی به دست ما بدهد، حتی در آدم‌هایی که حالتی کاملا دفاعی و بسته دارند چیزهایی به بیرون نشت می‌کند. رویا تلاشی‌ست برای واداشتنمان به جذب چیزهایی که هنوز هضم نشده‌اند. تلاشی‌ست برای التیام یافتن.
شیوه‌ی یونگ در تعبیر رویا متفاوت با پیشینیان است، او تنها به یک رویا اکتفا نمی‌کند بلکه به تحلیل سلسله‌ای از رویا‌ها می‌پردازد و نتیجه‌گیری را به بعد از بررسی همه‌ی آن‌ها وامی‌گذارد. در این کتاب همین شیوه در تعبیر مجموعه‌ای از خواب‌های یکی از مراجعان یونگ استفاده شده است. در جلد اول ۱۷ رویا مورد بررسی قرار می‌گیرد.
باید توجه داشت که این کتاب در حقیقت مجموعه‌ای است که توسط شاگردان و کسانی که در کلاس تعبیر رویا حضور داشته‌اند نوشته شده است و حتی در بعضی قسمت‌ها افراد حاضر در کلاس نیز سوال‌هایی میپرسند و در بحث وارد می‌شوند که همه این‌ها در کتاب یادداشت شده است. به همین خاطر ممکن است در بعضی موارد بحث اندکی به حاشیه برود.
«برای فهم بهتر کتاب لازم است اندکی با ادبیات روان‌کاوی یونگ و اصطلاحات رایج در این مبحث آشنایی داشت.»

Olay bir köşkte geçiyor. Jung'un 50 kişilik bir gruba seminer vermesi için kuleli bir köşk satın alınıyor. 1928-30 arası her hafta çarşamba günleri bu özel grup toplanıp Jung'un 47 yaşında, iş adamı, evli, 4 çocuk babası bir hastasının gördüğü rüyaları analiz ediyorlar. Jung'un iğne deliğinden Hindistan'ı gören zihni inanılmaz bir akıcılıkla rüyaları analiz ediyor. Analizleri okurken siz de kendi içinizden katkıda bulunmak istiyorsunuz. Falanca şey aslında şuna işaret ediyor olabilir vb.

چاپ هشتم سال ۹۵ رو دارم میخونم و به نظرم ترجمه اقای رضایی از انگلیسی به عربی هست بیشتر ! تا فارسی خیلی از جملات رو واقعا نمی فهمم و میرم دنبال معنی کلمه عربی...
اما در مورد خود کتاب فعلا رویای اول هستم و به نظرم جالبه

A not so hard to understand take on how our medicine won't save people with internal conflicts but psychoanalysis by looking deeper into our unconscious mind, and trying to interpret it and its actions.
Commentary on Freud's view on dream interpretation.

A textbook in practice.. fantastic! Although.. it is an actual brick of a book so prepare to spend quite some time working through it.

Since the publication of The Collected Works various supplementary volumes have been issued by Princeton University Press which I've picked up as they've become available. This one is based on a series of seminars given from 1928 to 1930 and first multigraphed by the Psychology Club in Zurich in 1938. Later it was privately printed, both in 1958 and in 1972. Frankly, I find most of these seminar transcripts rather boring. Jung was never a very systematic thinker and representations in print of his speech are often very rambling--or, as they say, "associative."

[Ashkan]

دختر جوان کاملا تحصیل‌کرده، بسیار محترم و معقولی برای تحلیل به نزدم آمد. نتوانست تحلیل را ادامه دهد و رفت. مدتی بعد به یکی از بیماران قدیمی‌ام گفت: «نمی‌توانستم تحلیل را با دکتر یونگ ادامه دهم زیرا او از لحاظ جنسی به من علاقه‌مند شد.» بیمارم از او پرسید چگونه. دختر در جواب گفت: «برای اینکه رویاهایی کاملا جنسی درباره او می‌دیدم.» آن دختر نمی‌توانست بپذیرد که خودش هم می‌تواند خیال‌های جنسی داشته باشد، پس من می‌بایست داشته باشم

This book is like being in the room with Jung while he works with a patient, learning by watching his process unfold. The seminar was given to a group who already had some familiarity with his teachings, so I wouldn't recommend it as a starting place. But if you already work with your dreams or the dreams of others, it's a fascinating way to expand your understanding.

[Azade]

The book is basically the transcriptions from C.G Jung's talks.It gets frustrating at times as Jung keeps going back and forth to the topics he'd mentioned. However it's a good source to learn about Jung's explanations of symbolism in various traditions.

Confusing, mysterious book. i think i should had a psychology base to understand it. but im a physiologist! i cant accord it to science

[Emma Beullens]

Great if you're interested in dreams -- but start with Ann Faraday or someone a little easier to comprehend :-)
