Anthony Stevens has spent his professional life working as a Jungian analyst, psychiatrist, and writer. Now, in this extremely accessible introduction, Anthony Stevens-one of Britain's foremost Jungian analysts-clearly explains the basic concepts of Jungian psychology: the collective unconscious, complex, archetype, shadow, persona, anima, animus, and the individualization of the Self. Stevens, a Jungian analyst and author of The Roots of War, sees Jungs midlife breakdown, a four-year descent into madness, as an archetypal journey of isolation, initiation and return. Though he was a prolific writer and an original thinker of vast erudition, Jung lacked a gift for clear exposition, and his ideas are less widely appreciated than they deserve to be. This is the most lucid and timely introduction to the thought of Carl Gustav Jung available to date. ![]()
