Jung: A Biography

Jung abandoned Freud's theory to found his own system of Analytical psychology. As Freud's influence has waned over the years, Jung's ideas - the collective unconscious, the archetypal myths underpinning all societies, synchronocity, "new age" spirituality & much more - have achieved an overwhelming ascendancy. Bair addresses the myths about Jung - accusations that he was an anti- Semite and a misogynist and that he falsified data - with evidence from his own writings & from those of his colleagues & former patients. The result is groundbreaking & accessible.
