Book Description

Originally planned as a brief final volume in the Collected Works, The Symbolic Life has become the most ample volume in the edition, and one of unusual interest. It contains some 160 items spanning sixty years; they include forewords, replies to questionnaires, encyclopedia articles, occasional addresses, and letters on technical subjects.
Collection of this material relied on three chief circumstances. After Jung returned from active medical practice, he gave more of his time to writing, and some sixty papers as well as books were written after 1950. Second, recent research has brought to light a number of reviews, reports and articles from the early years of Jung's career. Finally, Jung's files yielded several finished or virtually finished papers that survived in manuscript.
Volume 18 includes three longer works: 'The Tavistock Lectures' (1936); 'Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams' (1961); and 'The Symbolic Life', the transcript of a seminar given in London in 1939.

Author portrait of Carl G. Jung

Carl G. Jung

Carl Gustav Jung, is a Swiss psychologist and founder of analytical psychology. Young says his intellectual life began with a dream he had at the age of three. He received a scholarship at the University of Basel to study medicine and his father died at the age of 20. Jung loved university life and devoured philosophical works, especially the works of Kant and Nietzsche, in addition to medical books and references, and he studied spirituality and supernatural phenomena. Young became a member of the Society for Public Speaking and Debating called the Zuqengia Club. Young was able to reveal something that was admired and appreciated by all: the human spirit. His ideas advocated the existence of two directions of the soul. One towards life affairs and the other towards the realm of spirituality. There, some things happened to Young and Young thought he should attend the necromancy. For two years, Young had been attending these sessions, with his cousin Helen Preswork being her psychic, and her late father, Samuel Preswork, being her mentor. And he stopped going to those sessions when Helen started to get caught up in these invocations and Young didn't know Helen was in love with him and everything she did to get his attention. Thus, Young had two personalities. The first character was immersed in life matters, and her feelings could explode in any emotional situation. As for the second character, she believes in superstitions and the world of the paranormal, as Jung felt that he was connected to the other world. He searches for the nature of that strange thing that enters the body at birth and leaves at death, and this led him to realize that his desired goal is psychiatry, which, starting in 1890, he began studying as a science and a profession at the same time. Jung began training in psychiatry in 1900, when he became an assistant at the Bergolslie Mental Hospital, a clinic attached to the University of Zurich and was under the direction of Dr. Eugene Blölru. Young's research continued under the supervision of this doctor until Jung developed in this field.
