They say Freud had a Shadow… and its name was Carl Gustav Jung!
Jung’s concepts radically influenced psychology, cultural research, and popular practices of self-knowledge. Many modern typologies rely on them—from culture-oriented models to psychological questionnaires. Having started his career in close collaboration with Freud, Jung soon formed his own school—analytic psychology—where symbols, myths, and universal plots that repeat across different cultures take center stage.
In this book, the reader will be introduced to all of Jung’s basic ideas, understand what the Shadow, the Persona, the Anima/Animus, and other archetypes mean, and see how working with myths and symbols helps you understand yourself better. For those who are drawn to mythology, symbolism, self-development, and personal growth.
