Synopsis "Psychology and the Occult (Routledge Classics) (Volume 17) "

A fifteen-year-old girl who claimed regular communications with the spirits of her dead friends and relatives was the subject of the very first published work by the now legendary psychoanalyst C.G. Jung. Collected here, alongside many of his later writings on such subjects as life after death, telepathy and ghosts, it was to mark just the start of a professional and personal interest-even obsession-that was to last throughout Jung's lifetime. Written by one of the greatest and most controversial thinkers of the twentieth century, Psychology and the Occult represents a fascinating trawl through both the dark, unknown world of the occult and the equally murky depths of the human psyche. Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961). Founded the analytical school of psychology and developed a radical new theory of the unconscious that has made him one of the most familiar names in twentieth-century thought.

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 He was a withdrawn and lonely child, who spent much of his childhood unable to relate to brothers or sisters.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.
