Few people have had as much influence on modern psychology as Carl Jung; he has coined terms such as extraversion and introversion, archetypes, anima and animus, shadow, and collective unconscious, among others.
One of the most important of Jung’s longer works, and probably the most famous of his books, Psychological Types appeared in German in 1921 after a “fallow period” of eight years during which Jung had published little.
In Jungian psychology, the archetypes represent universal patterns and images that are part of the collective unconscious. Jung believed that we inherit these archetypes much in the way we inherit instinctive patterns of behavior.
Exploring the realm of Carl Jung's collective unconscious and the archetypes that live within it.
It goes as follows: Man skids into midlife and loses his soul. Man goes looking for soul. After a lot of instructive hardship and adventure — taking place entirely in his head — he finds it again. The book tells the story of Jung trying to face down his own demons as they emerged from the shadows.
This volume has become known as perhaps the best introduction to Jung's work. In these two 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.
The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung’s later works.
