This volume has become known as perhaps the best introduction to Jung's work. In these famous essays. "The Relations between the Ego and the Unconscious" and "On the Psychology of the Unconscious," he presented the essential core of his system. Historically, they mark the end of Jung's intimate association with Freud and sum up his attempt to integrate the psychological schools of Freud and Adler into a comprehensive framework.


This is the first paperback publication of this key work in its revised and augmented second edition of 1966. The earliest versions of the Two Essays, "New Paths in Psychology" (1912) and "The Structure of the Unconscious" (1916), discovered among Jung's posthumous papers, are published in an appendix, to show the development of Jung's thought in later versions. As an aid to study, the index has been comprehensively expanded.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book must be considered a fundamental work among Jung's writings and deserves to be read by Jungians and non-Jungians alike." ― American Journal of Psychotherapy

"[This work] is important as evidence of the evolution of Jung's thought (the book contains the original essays which were written in 1912 and 1916 as well as their most recent revisions) and is valuable as an introduction to the 'analytical' or 'complex' psychology of the Jungian school."---Thomas J. J. Altizer, The Journal of Religion

From the Back Cover

Because of his consideration on many literary works, Classical, Oriental, and Western, Symbols of Transformation has a particular interest for students of literature.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology (also known as Jungian psychology). Jung's radical approach to psychology has been influential in the field of depth psychology and in counter-cultural movements across the globe. Jung is considered as the first modern psychologist to state that the human psyche is "by nature religious" and to explore it in depth. His many major works include "Analytic Psychology: Its Theory and Practice," "Man and His Symbols," "Memories, Dreams, Reflections," "The Collected Works of Carl G. Jung," and "The Red Book."

The moment I opened this book, I was hooked, and there was no way out. I could not put the book down, I read it almost obsessively.

So much valuable information contained here, and so much to think through and practice. More importantly, the book seems to be a great introduction to Jung. It really contains a lot of his ideas, or so I think since I haven't read much of Jung yet.

All I can say is that this book has left me both satisfied and wanting more. I will definitely be reading it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of his best
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2003
Verified Purchase
_Analytical Psychology_ is one of the most succinct, miserly, and potent of all of Carl Jung's works. Most if not all of Jung's most important concepts are crammed into this slim volume. For experienced readers of nonfiction philosophy and psychology, this might be the best place to start reading Jung, especially if all you want is a crash-course in Jung's most important ideas. This is by no means an introductory-level book. For beginners, I would recommend Jung's masterpiece, _Modern Man in Search of a Soul_ (although that one's only slightly easier). _Analytical Psychology_ is for people who are already familier with Jung and want to reach the apex of his psychology, or for experienced readers who want to lean as much as possible about Jungian psychology in as little time as possible. Be forewarned that this book is extremely dense, yet this is a result of the inherent complexity of the subject matter, and not so much a result of bad writing or bad translation. Overall, I would say the knowledge contained in this book is well worth the effort. This book is packed with useful information that can actually improve the quality of your life, increase understanding and control of situations, decrease neurosis, and lead to overall enlightenment. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars First English Language Translation of Jung's Two Essays
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2012

This is the Baynes translation. In my opinion, Baynes, a medical doctor, analytical psychologist who trained under Jung, gives a translations that has quite a different feel from the Collected Works of Jung (translator most of the volumes is Hull). Hull wasn't a medical doctor and so, though his knowledge of Jung was encyclopedic, lacked the clinical feel that is retained in the Baynes translation. So my suggestion, particularly for all who maintain a clinical practice and want to incorporate Jung's ideas into their practice or for all Jungian analysts or trainees, is that this book is a must have for your library and education.

Among other things, this text has helped me gain new insight into the possible reasons for the existence of what we typically perceive as evil... "There can be no energy without a tension of opposites." Jung also addresses and analyzes Nietzsche a bit in this... Another of my favorite philosophers, but much more abstruse.

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2013

Two essays on Analytical Psychology provides the best introduction to Jung's massive corpus of theory in a thorough, yet concise way - all the basic concepts are introduced clearly, and while some depth is sacrificed, the sheer breadth of this work along with its clarity makes it one of the most, if not THE most accessible of all of Jung's writings on the theory of Analytical Psychology. "Two Essays on Analytical Psychology" is the primary volume of Jung's theoretical writings, the rest serve to flesh it out more fully.

4.0 out of 5 stars In-Depth About the Unconscious and Ego
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
Conceptualizing this work, I came to the realization that any advanced psychologist will consider it to be basic material. However, Jung is a prior unconscious influence these days for any major psychologist. They have been influenced by social factors which already take account of Jung. For example, in reading the first essay, about the imago and social forces, it appears that the effect is to convey a negativity to the basic human condition, a sense that I feel most psychology students could readily grasp. I suspect this is more a success of language than a success of psychology. However, the writing is lucid, and there are few other psychologists (perhaps none) who have done such a good turn with such negative subjects. Part of this must be due to the brilliance of his theory. Perhaps psychologists would call him an idealist, but that is not the effect on every student. Perhaps that is the best approach to this book: to consider that one is an advanced student by intepreting it as the best knowledge in the field, coming not from a disillusioned therapist, but from an idealistic theorist. With that angle, it becomes something more advanced to the mind.

In the second essay, devoted to individuation and unconscious development, I can see the effect of patients upon the therapist by the end of the chapter, but some of the material strikes me as original, for example, the concept that the imago and collective unconscious could be overcome by exceptional individuals. This is not easy to fathom for those that may be prone to madness like myself, leaving a kind of uncontended wall between the therapist and the patient, something that has been one of the traditional roadblocks to genuine transformation. One suspects that the only difference between the mad and the sane is a god-given gift, something this book does not entirely dis-spell.

All in all, good psychology, but lacking in miracles. Maybe the reverse of what a psychologist would find.

5.0 out of 5 stars Analysis..the person as he opens up to the world
Reviewed in Canada on October 26, 2013
Verified Purchase
I have read some reviews here on Amazon/ca and many find this volume one of Jungs best and one compares him to a long list in the psychodynamic tradition including the later work of karen horney. The fact remains he is quite different apart from being interested in the world of contemporary and ancient religions, society, culture and science and their ability to understand reality and their drawbacks? Every form of thought has drawbacks, assumptions to not be aware, conscious, is to be myopic and partially blind, the blind spots of a driver and allows us further to compensate? He undertakes his study of psychology(unlike many in the field he is a practicing hospital psychiatrist)from the world of contemporary persons.

He practiced at the Psychiatric Clinic in Zurich(p 21) where the association method was developed where the ideas of personal conflicts as they develop or degenerate in multi layered complexes often resulting in regressive illnesses and obscuring the development of personal identity? I recently penned a novel Rhythm and Weep(the title from a three stooges short on female suicides in the U.S.)where I made use of this psychiatric model of understanding modern persons? He calls this phenomenal view "the interior of the house"(21). He has a different way from FReud in terms of understanding "interior worlds" as he will elaborate and fantasies of lust, sex, violence and incest. He then undertakes Adlers POwer psychology in terms of a person "tyrannizing over the entire household"(39)..he finds such power psychologies, a key part of modern persons, even though hemay find the traits undesirable and destructive? An interesting way to look at persons rather than in contemporary culture, in terms of the polarity of gay/straight,
sexualizing personalities, he opens up the fertile ground of extroversion/introversion and even though this is an old volume I think even contemporary analysts would profit to look at it? There is talk of the reflective personality and is this a facet of cultural integration, spirituality or acceptance and infusion of the local environment and its norms? He believes in the abstract idea of love? Not all therapists do, if you do you should search for one who sympathizes with your own emotional development. For the analyst love wants to deconstruct what he sees as primitive lusts for power, vacate it from the psyche and open up a world..of introversion, maybe? To understand the theorist analyst is to approach problems and people from the world of polarities and see how the individual adapts, finds values, makes choices and develops?

On p 71 the "puffed up attitude" may seem narcissistic and you can compare with the later analyst KOhut in the self aggrandizing personality, the "grandiose self." A more recent writer whom I think is worthy of study? He distinguishes his diagnoses as different from causal/reductive or theories drawn from deterministic science, as in classical psychoanalysis and psychiatry and an open ended search for the person. He finds each person unique from the label attached to him..the label are symptoms a person may display in his own fashion. He later goes on to discuss those capable of undergoing the "transcendent function"(p 99) and later talks of the idea of God or perfection..think of the philosophy of Descartes..as it relates to the development of the personality and those able to form morals, and spirituality and the contemplative psyche? Those able to develop and maintain spiritual or religious states(he doesnt go into this in this volume) can be those freed from regressive maladies?

Ancient psychology and philosophy dealt with individuation? He wants to study it, bring it from the world of philosophy into a diffeerent stream of thought the world of psychological science and psychotherapy? He is and remains always a clinician..his patients need to be helped. He is a helper..he never wants to save a person, and finds such clinicians dangerous for their clients, since they need to seek out help themselves(the object of help)
by making choices in their environment, and cutting things out from their world as a child cutting designs on a printed page? Here is the world or imagery of demons, not bein gunder the influence of.."the dark interior world"(p 174) he finds difficult to comprehend? He finds two books one by william James on Religion and the other Christina Alberta's Father(based on his own ideas of psychology)..and here the author finds in Christina Alberta..the novel of a liberated women in the authors eyes..and her father "mr Preemby" a "nonentity" a person who finds life meaningless
and develops an altar ego..to save the world..and is placed in a lunatic asylum and dies(perhaps a parable on the authors own understanding of himself)? Here also we have the idea of MESSIANIC personalities..as they relate to persons politics and religion? Also the world of contemporary politics?

The author is well versed in philosophy science psychology religion and so many topics? AS versatile as the medieval scholar and some may find this who look for a more simplified approach off putting? His approach is the proper way to help clients, and in his individuation psychology finding love and loving themselves, building self esteem and not a bloated narcissistic type "inflated" self, and trying to find love(if you choose) or whatever or wherever your self concept or identity lies in the world around you..he has his own biases? H e knows his biases and he wants to know whether his clients know,,themselves..for those able to reach the higher stages of the brain, the latest developments of the physical brain..the areas of contemplation(if my remembrance of brain physiology or phrenology is correct?). I will end in the area of Leibnitz's monads(monad as oneness) as compared to the world of plurality..polytheism..paganism and its common fprm in the contemporary psyche? He find in many ways the pagan mind finds so much in the world the monotheist..or those unifying findin goneness dont..think of the world of all those helping angels..or the household Gods in catholic or taoist world..the Kitchen Gods Wife..another novel. This world is different from the simple world of the modern scientific view..so he develops(and he has the advantage of being also a SCIENTIFIC PHILOSOPHER)..determinism/indertiminism..the introverted(thinking)extroverted(feeling)..as he puts it and where do you find yourself..the next volume in this collection deals with causality..duration..change..going from point a to b to g..and all will find it a great challenge..and we will end in his own words "the individual is by definition something unique that cannot be compared with anything else..separate the concept of the individual" the persona from being "dissolve din the collective." This too is the bias of the author?

5.0 out of 5 stars balance between consciousness and unconsciousness
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2010

magnificent book on Jungs insights and development on his view of the source of neurosis and how to work on it.

Easy to read, fine balance between examples, illusions and theories. Great basic view on the balance between the conscious and the unconscious worlds in our heads.

Pinpoint explanation on neurosises and maintaining the world of illusion.

Alas only a few will understand what he is talking about. Not because the majority cannot comprehend but because the theorie goes beyond cause & effect and enters the reader in the realm of quantum mechanics. Inspirational for readers of Deepak Chopra, Paul McKenna, Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, etc, etc due to the very basics of illusionary living.
