On Jung

Here Anthony Stevens examines every stage of Jung's personal and professional development to throw light on his theories of the life cycle, dream symbolism, and the collective unconscious. Jung's life experience made him a profound, stimulating, and immensely influential writer on almost every aspect of human behavior; this lucid and penetrating study makes the ideal introduction to his life and ideas. This new edition contains a preface intended as a rebuttal to the recent attacks on Jung made by Noll and McLynn.

'In On Jung, Anthony Stevens offers an informative and clear explanation of the basic principles of Jungian psychology... Stevens skillfully employs object relations theory in his analysis... His treatment of the history of Jung's family and the impact of its dynamics on Jung's personality is refreshingly honest.'
