"Tack gode Gud för att jag är Jung och inte jungian" lär Carl Gustav Jung ha sagt.
Den här boken är bokstavligen det som undertiteln säger – en resa genom Jungs samlade verk – och Robert H. Hopcke, amerikansk psykolog, teolog och psykoterapeut, är den insiktsfulle guiden och ciceronen under upptäcktsfärden in i Jungs fascinerande tankevärld.
Vad menade Jung t.ex. med arketyp, anima–animus eller det kollektivt undermedvetna?
Genom sina introduktioner till centrala begrepp, termer och ämnesområden i Jungs psykologi och hänvisningar till Jungs egna formuleringar ger vår färdledare oss direkt tillgång till själva källan, de mer än tjugo banden av Jungs samlade skrifter.
A clear review of Jungian studies. A key concept appears per chapter. Hopke is very good at showing how Jung's thoughts changed with time: as a result of which, archetypes acquired new subtleties.
This is an unique way to discover Jung. It’s impressive how the author summarized such complexities in a way that anyone can understand it. It gives the reader the most important topics that Jung wrote about and it incites the reader to read more about it.
Succinct introduction to what can be a confusing and new framework that is uniquely Jungian. Well referenced and written. Good recommendations to sources and further readings.
I bought this as a guide to my ever expanding reading of C G Jung's work and of his followers. It serves as an excellent introduction to all the basic concepts of depth psychology and the best way to get a good introduction to them along with further readings for in depth study. Excellent.
If you're going to read Jung, start here. This book gives a high-level overview of Jungian concepts, chapter-by-chapter, and includes historical factors and comparisons with Freudian views. Then it lists further reading to dig deeper into each concept.
