Synopsis "Man and his Symbols "

Man and His Symbols owes its existence to one of Jung's own dreams. The great psychologist dreamed that his work was understood by a wide public, rather than just by psychiatrists, and therefore he agreed to write and edit this fascinating book. Here, Jung examines the full world of the unconscious, whose language he believed to be the symbols constantly revealed in dreams. Convinced that dreams offer practical advice, sent from the unconscious to the conscious self, Jung felt that self-understanding would lead to a full and productive life. Thus, the reader will gain new insights into himself from this thoughtful volume, which also illustrates symbols throughout history. Completed just before his death by Jung and his associates, it is clearly addressed to the general reader.Praise for Man and His Symbols“This book, which was the last piece of work undertaken by Jung before his death in 1961, provides a unique opportunity to assess his contribution to the life and thought of our time, for it was also his firsat attempt to present his life-work in psychology to a non-technical public. . . . What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society, by insisting that imaginative life must be taken seriously in its own right, as the most distinctive characteristic of human beings.”—Guardian“Straighforward to read and rich in suggestion.”—John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate“This book will be a resounding success for those who read it.”—Galveston News-Tribune“A magnificent achievement.”—Main Currents“Factual and revealing.”—Atlanta Times

Fue discípulo de Freud y profesor en las universidades de Zúrich y Basilea.

Carl Gustav Jung fue un pionero de la psicología profunda y uno de los estudiosos de esta disciplina más ampliamente leídos en el siglo veinte. Su abordaje teórico y clínico enfatizó la conexión funcional entre la estructura de la psique y la de sus productos.

View Author's Page

Carl Gustav Jung was born in July 1875 in Kesswil, Switzerland, into a very religious family. He was a withdrawn and lonely child, who spent much of his childhood unable to relate to brothers or sisters. Partly because of this, he used to play with elements of nature and used his imagination to weave extravagant narrative lines about everything he experienced.

However, the unusual mental associations and the symbolism that populated young Jung's mind did not limit their reign to the hours he was awake. Jung began very early to have very vivid dreams with a strong symbolic charge. And, as expected from someone who dedicated a large part of his career to studying dreams, at least one of these dreams marked him for life.

Material de mala calidad, no se ve nuevo. Parece reimpreso. Para el precio igual vale la pena pues cumple la función de leer el contenido. Buena sintesis de la teoria jungiana de forma no técnica.

The book itself was a very acceptable copy. I am intrigued by your long delivery time - not a problem, but out of line with almost all other book suppliers I deal with. I bought the book because I'm having counselling with someone who is a Jung devotee - not that he pushes it at me, but I was intrigued. Making slow progress. Quite dry in long stretches but hoping for some 'ah!' moments........

El contenido del libro es oro puro, pero el material y sus dimensiones dejan mucho que desear. Un libro bastante rústico para costar 10 dólares.
