Publisher's Summary

This classic introduction to the psychology of Carl Gustav Jung is important because it is the only English original text he sanctioned in his lifetime. In his personal foreword, he wrote: 'Mrs Frieda Fordham has undertaken the by no means easy task of producing a readable resumé of all my various attempts at a better and more comprehensive understanding of the human psyche. She has delivered a fair and simple account of the main aspects of my psychological work. I am indebted to her for this admirable piece of work.'

Originally issued in 1953, this Introduction immediately became the standard first step for those eager to understand the varied work and thought of this remarkable man. Mrs Fordham explains her reason for attempting the work. She wrote: 'Most people have heard of the late C. G. Jung, often linking him vaguely with Sigmund Freud; and although the terms 'complex', 'introvert', and 'extravert' are often used in everyday speech, few realise they were coined by him. Jung’s influence has been far-reaching, touching many of the human sciences, and his ideas have proved of value in such widely differing fields as biology and theology. Many of his writings are technical, and even those of a general nature often appear somewhat obscure, but they contain a core of significance for everyone. This book aims at revealing this core to the reading public in language which is easily comprehensive and yet does not do violence to the subtlety and creative genius of one of the greatest modern psychologists.'

A great introduction to Jungs Psychology.

I have started delving deeper into Jungs Psychology, I started with Memories, Dreams, Reflections and explored other academics views on his work before trying his Red Book which I found a little overwhelming so decided to listen to this to give me a better understanding on the concepts of his work, which it very much did. Helen Lloyd does a fantastic job narrating this book with her soothing and clear voice. I am now excited to explore Jung Red Book with more clarity and understanding of his work.

Excellent

The audiobook performance was excellent.
If this is your first look at psychoanalysis then I recommend another book. The concepts are very complex. But if this is not your first look at psychoanalysis, Im sure, like me you will find this a excellent book as well.
