Carl Gustav Jung was the enigmatic and controversial father of analytical psychology. This updated edition of Introducing Jung brilliantly explains the theories that underpin Jung's work, delves into the controversies that led him to break away from Freud and describes his near psychotic breakdown, from which he emerged with radical new insights into the nature of the unconscious mind - and which were published for the first time in 2009 in The Red Book. Step by step, MaggieHyde demonstrates how it was entirely logical for him to explore the psychology of religion, alchemy, astrology, the I Ching and other phenomena rejected by science in his investigation of his patients' dreams, fantasies and psychic disturbances.… (more)

My first thought upon reading this book, was that either Jung was a raving lunatic, or I am!

Now, I'll admit that the smart money might be on me, but have you tried following Jungian logic?

Reading this is like watching Monty Python with all the humour removed! ( )

Book wasn't bad; illustrations/cartoons were appreciated. But Jung's whole body of work seems like "hooey" to me. What would make us think that he has things any more right than anyone else? His theories seem complicated, and I don't know how useful they really are in practice. I know that there are many "Jungian" analysts, and therefore many Jungian "analysands." But does this stuff really work? Why? Because of my lack of background in psychology, I'm not qualified, by any stretch of the imagination, to say one way or the other. ( )

A snappily-written, well-illustrated beginner's look at Jung and his ideas. Not quite a comic book and not quite just an informational handbook, this is a good gift, or good for younger, precocious people who want to get a lot of odd, esoteric knowledge about this kind of philosophy without really committing themselves to abosrbing a lot of knowledge. It's quite solid and informative and interesting to practically any age group that can handle enormous, graphic illustrations of phalli. Can be read in a single sitting. ( )

As with most books "for beginners" it is pretty superficial, but can be useful for looking up facts and odd bits of information in a hurry. ( )
