C. G. Jung died in 1961, without ever having
presented a systematic
summary of his psychology. For the past thirty years
his ideas have been
explained, explored and amplified by thousands of
others, with varying
results.
Jung Lexicon takes the reader
to the source. It was
designed for those seeking an understanding of
relevant terms and concepts
as they were used by Jung himself. There are choice
extracts from Jung's
Collected Works, but no references to other
writers.
Jung
Lexicon is not a critique or a defence of Jung's
thoughts, but a guide
to its richness and an illustration of the broad scope
and
interrelationship of his interests.
Informed by
a close reading of
Jung's major writings, Jung Lexicon contains a
comprehensive
overview of the basic principles of Jungian
psychology. The implications
and practical application of Jung's ideas are well
covered by other
volumes in this series.
