The Theory of Psychoanalysis

Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who founded analytical psychology. Jung proposed and developed the concepts of extraversion and introversion; archetypes, and the collective unconscious. His work has been influential in psychiatry and in the study of religion, philosophy, archeology, anthropology, literature, and related fields. A prolific writer, many of his works were not published until after his death. The theories in this book, written in 1901, although outdated, are still a fascinating glimpse of Jung's mind at a crucial time in his life. It followed the "Psychology of the Unconscious", which represented his break from the Vienna school led by Freud (and his separation from Freud), and a young Jung moving in his own path of thought (although the development of his own "jungian" theory of psychology has a long way to go.This book is Jung in transition, his thought a work in progress, his theory a project under construction.
