General Bibliography

Rate this book
Bollingen Series XX
As a current record of all of C.G. Jung's publications in German & in English, this volume will replace the general bibliography published in 1979 as Volume 19 of the Collected Works of C.G. Jung. In the form of a checklist, this new volume records through 1990 the initial publication of each original work by Jung, each translation into English, & all significant new editions, including paperbacks & publications in periodicals. The contents of the respective volumes of the Collected Works of C.G. Jung & the Gesammelte Werke (published in Switzerland) are listed in parallel to show the interrelation of the two editions. Jung's seminars are dealt with in detail. Where possible, information is provided about the origin of works that were first conceived as lectures. There are indexes of all publications, personal names, organizations, societies & periodicals.

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.

What a shocker!

I picked this off the shelf thinking "what the heck, it would be nice to look over the list of books that Jung found important".

It is not that kind of bibliography!

This is a list of his writings. I would run out of exclams in this note if it were to express the "wow" that realization brought.

Intros, prefaces, forwards, lecture notes, French, German, Spanish, English, etc etc etc.

As a thought experiment, if you were to factor out all the meaning and importance of his life work, looking only at the mass of output as a whole, that alone is a staggering accomplishment. (Noting that translations are included - in effect being duplicates.)

Another aspect that made this worthwhile is the depth and breadth of the circle of people with whom he worked. That list of names alone has a "wow factor".

Carl Jung was evidently about 6 people worth of energy in one human.

In editing GoodReads' database on books by Carl Gustav Jung I have found this volume of the Collected Works indispensible. Sadly, I'm using the 1979 edition decried in the book's description, so some of the newer material is not included. The structure of its content is as follows:
>Editorial Note
>Original Works & Translations in German, English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Serbo-Croat, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish & Turkish
>The Collected Works in German facing English
>Seminar Notes
>Index of Titles of all English & German items & of original works in other languages
>Personal Names of editors, compilers, coauthors, etc.
>Congresses, Organizations, Societies etc. cited
>Periodicals
>Addenda (for late-arriving Italian entries)
>The Collected Works of C.G. Jung listed in English
