Jung, My Mother and I: The Analytic Diaries of Catharine Rush Cabot

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was, with Freud, a giant in the conception and development of psychoanalysis, depth psychology, and today's myriad forms of psychotherapy. As a leading figure of the 20th century, Jung will be remembered for his many contributions to our language and thought - among them the concepts of introvert/extrovert, complex, archetype, collective unconscious, synchronicity and typology. Little of Jung's everyday life - his relationships with family, friends and colleagues - has been reported, with the exception of scattered anecdotes and diary notes. In this volume, for the first time, this missing part of our knowledge of Jung's life is filled-in with a refreshingly frank account by the daughter of one of Jung's patients and members of his Zurich circle. 623 pages.
