More About the Author

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."

5.0 out of 5 stars Pricey but incredible, June 5, 2006

This review is from: Collected Works of C.G. Jung: 21 Volume Hardcover Set (Hardcover)

This set includes 19 actual books of Jung's psychology:
CW1 Psychiatric Studies (Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Volume 1)
CW2 Experimental Researches
CW3 The Psychogenesis of Mental Disease
CW4 Freud and Psychoanalysis
CW5 Symbols of Transformation
CW6 Psychological Types
CW7 Two Essays on Analytical Psychology
CW8 The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche
CW9-1 The Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious
CW9-2 Aion CW9
CW10 Civilization in Transition (The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 10)
CW11 Psychology and Religion: West and East
CW12 Psychology and Alchemy (Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Volume 12)
CW13 Alchemical Studies
CW14 Mysterium Coniunctionis: An Inquiry into the Separation and Synthesis of Psychic Opposites in Alchemy (The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 14)
CW15 The Spirit in Man, Art, & Literature (Collected Works of Jung Vol. 15)
CW16 The Practice of Psychotherapy
CW17 Development of Personality (Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Volume 17)
CW18 The Symbolic Life
plus index/bibliography (CW19 & 20). It does not, however, include his autobiography (Memories, Dreams, Reflections, his interviews (C.G. Jung Speaking), his Letters (2 volumes of "Letters" plus the Freud/Jung Letters: C. G. Jung Letters in Two Volumes 1906-1961, Letters, & The Freud/Jung Letters). Thus (with the 5 missing volumes) they total to 24 (2 dozen) volumes of Jung in English that we can read (mostly translated from German). So, this set of 19 real volumes is the bulk of Jung presently available in English. It's expensive (since it's in hardback) but incredible. Jung broke new ground that even today is scary to most psychologists/psychiatrists. He included mythology, some religion, some sociology/social psychology, etc. Jung was indubitably a genius & most assuredly a groundbreaker. This collection is invaluable to the serious Jung student. I think most of the Jung institutes/centers require its reading (if not ownership) of their candidates. Incredible brilliance herein.

P.S. I'd put in all the links, but the maximum allowed is ten.

This review is from: Collected Works of C.G. Jung: 21 Volume Hardcover Set (Hardcover)

Why anyone would pay $1400+ for a used set when you can call Princeton Press directly at 800-777-4726 and get all 21 hardcover volumes brand new for around $1300 is beyond me.
