The Psychology of Jung

First published in 1961 The Psychology of Jung presents a critical and historical interpretation of Carl Jung’s psychology. In this book the author describes himself as an ‘independent student’ and as an ‘interested, though uncommitted observer’ and attempts to explain and reconcile drawbacks, contradictions, discrepancies and incongruities of Jungian theory, in particular, its indefiniteness, its mystical, semireligious characteristics, its emphasis on visual imagery and mythological symbolisms
