Jungian Psychology; Theory and Practice

About the Book

The empirical approach allowed Jung to probe areas and expressions of the psyche impossible to reach otherwise. Impeccable scholarship and erudition plus extensive clinical experience support Jung’s map of the human psyche and allows the rest of us to better understand ourselves. This book reviews the major themes from Jung’s Collected Works and considers related writings of contemporary authors. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of Jung’s works and provides the reader with study guides and appropriate references.
