Man and His Symbols Audio Scholar Series [Abridged] [Audio Cassette]

Carl Gustav Jung (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Jung's text is a particularly apt manuscript for audiobooks. Jung's last work, the essay was written to explain the Jungian approach to the lay audience. It's ripe with examples, which are simply and brilliantly read by Lopez-Morillas. The narration is articulate and presents a clear, visual picture. This program gives listeners a glance back to the infancy of psychology and an opportunity to appreciate the pioneering works of both Jung and his one-time mentor, Freud. K.D.P.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Intro to Jung, February 28, 2000

This review is from: Man and His Symbols Audio Scholar Series (Audio Cassette)

How do your dreams (and the unconscious) relate to your conscious, everyday life? Jung answers this question by relaying fascinating case studies and examples from anthropology. In this essay, Jung lays out some of his basic ideas on symbols and dream interpretation (highlighting some of the differences between his method and Freud's). Jung brings a great variety of stories to the table: from ancient African tribes to some of his own patients (including a fascinating tale of how one man's large ego led him to think he could fly). If anything, the tapes are not long enough. Six hours instead of three would have made a big difference. But to anyone wanting an introduction to Jung's ideas, these tapes aren't bad at all.
