Psychology of the Unconscious

Story
Published first in 1912, Psychology of the Unconscious was one of the most important stepping stones in the development of Jung’s thought and practice. It has a long subtitle: A Study of the Transformations and Symbolisms of the Libido. A Contribution to the History of the Evolution of Thought. This expressed the underlying impetus - a break from the view of the libido and its functions as taught by Sigmund Freud, which Jung had earlier adopted. It was from this point that the two approaches, which came to be known as the Swiss and Viennese schools, emerged.

Man and His Symbols owes its existence to one of Jung's own dreams. The great psychologist dreamed that his work was understood by a wide public, rather than just by psychiatrists, and therefore he agreed to write and edit this fascinating book. Here, Jung examines the full world of the unconscious, whose language he believed to be the symbols constantly revealed in dreams.

The Origins and History of Consciousness draws on a full range of world mythology to show how individual consciousness undergoes the same archetypal stages of development as human consciousness as a whole. Erich Neumann was one of C. G. Jung's most creative students and a renowned practitioner of analytical psychology in his own right. In this influential book, Neumann shows how the stages begin and end with the symbol of the Uroboros, the tail-eating serpent.

This collection of 11 wide-ranging lectures which appeared originally in 1933, was based on lectures previously given when Jung was in the process of absorbing a considerable period of study of Eastern religions, Gnosticism and other religious sources. It was a time, according to the translator Cary F. Baynes, ‘when the Western world stands on the verge of a spiritual rebirth...after a long period of outward expansion, we are beginning to look inside ourselves once more.’

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.'

What does it really mean to be a man? What are some of the landmarks along the road to mature masculinity? And what of the feminine components of a man's personality? Women have developed, over the centuries, considerable expertise in the technique of adapting to men, and for good reason, but that is not the same as truly understanding them. The transition from male childhood to real manhood is a complicated struggle, and explored in this book. As timely today as when it was first published, He provides a fascinating look into male identity and how female dynamics influence men.

Joseph Campbell famously compared mythology to a kangaroo pouch for the human mind and spirit: “a womb with a view.” In Myths to Live By, he examines all of the ways in which myth supports and guides us, giving our lives meaning. Love and war, science and religion, East and West, inner space and outer space - Campbell shows how the myths we live by can reconcile all of these pairs of opposites and bring a sense of the whole.

"Not only is this a rare glimpse into the world of a master therapist; it is also an account of the 'inner void' that seems to lie at the core of addiction.
Jung: "A case where there was an intelligent, young woman, she was a student of philosophy [with a] very good mind, where one would expect easily that she would see that I am not the parental authority. But she was utterly unable to get out of this delusion. And, in such a case, one always has recourse to dreams...."

In this contribution to the emerging men's movement, Robert Moore, a Jungian psychoanalyst and Douglas Gillette, a mythologist, examine the inner King - one of the four archetypes on the male psyche. The inner King integrates power and nurturing, firmness and caring, courage and creativity, self-affirmation and self-sacrifice. From his central position between the world of imagination and the world of action, the King within challenges every man to take up his own scepter, to dream and to make them come true.

Publisher's Summary
What are archetypes? What is the collective unconscious? Both these concepts are two of Jung’s most famous and exciting ideas.
In this volume, taken from the Collective Works, Jung describes and elaborates upon these two central concepts of his psychology. Included are essays on specific archetypes, a study of the process of individuation, and an account of mandala symbolism. The Journal of Analytical Psychology in its review of the text commented: ‘An eloquent witness to Jung’s greatness of mind and heart. His idea of the archetype involves profound attitudes towards man’s existence and intimates values through which very many people have found a new significance in their lives.’ In its original print format, The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious was profusely illustrated with many illustrations in full colour, and these are all available on a companion PDF which can be downloaded with this recording.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Wonderfull further reading
If you are interested in Jung/Analytical Psychology this is one of the core texts. Jung greatly clarifies his ideas on specific archetypes and their real life realisation.
The performance is excellent and very pleasant. Only the German pronunciation was off.
The accompanying PDF is missing two illustrations, which is a shame and needs to be fixed. However it does not present a major problem for the listening experience as they are used only to briefly illustrate a point.

Machine read, not a human
Either Martyn Swain is cheating a little using Amazon Polly / Dragon Naturally speaking or actually doesn't exist as a real person. You'll notice from the outset in this title the jagged inhuman synthesized staccata of a half decent text to speech program, and nothing more. Whatever about the actual content of the book, I can't bring myself to listen to this. Avoid, buy the book or find another audio copy where a human is doing the reading.

Delivery of text makes it impossible to listen with satisfaction
Some kind of spliced auto delivery of the voice/reading makes this a complete waste of money/credits. Intricate and sometimes complex ideas just do not come across as the staccato robotic vocal is a constant barrier to flow and pace of the natural text.
Very poor. Do not select in my view.

Poor narration
I didn't expect an easy listen and this text certainly isn't a primer in the subject. Being new to the subject but keen to learn I wasn't deterred by the many references to literature, myth philosophy and religion. But its the narration that makes an otherwise weighty listen all but inaccessible. It sound like it's being read by someone who hasnt fully learned to read yet. There is a staccato quality, with unnatural pauses between each word which becomes so frustrating. One to read instead.

I've been drawn to the writing of Jung since I was young. this book is well read and so interesting in content, a welcome balm to the injury of one sided material rationalism of western civilisation. a n invitation to embark on the process of individuation.

An excellent way to consume Jung's work
Swain does an exemplary job of narrating the work in a clear and legible manner with only fleeting instances of moving too swiftly over some of the more difficult concepts being explained throughout the work. This however is to be expected with a book of this nature as it is dense and deeply complicated.
There are certain instances of trans-exclusionary terms and instances of disproved theory throughout the book and this must be taken in its stride given the age and nature of it. The ideas within led to further exploration and discovery and remains a key work for writers, creatives and artists specifically who wish to further explore these ideas within their work.
The imagery is evocative and almost reads like prose at times however there are long diatribes of religious theory that diverge so far from the core ideas being explored that they at times felt like Jung was simply flexing his knowledge if the subjects rather than precise points and brief asides they often feel like a complete change if subject that if left between listens can create some confusion. this is certainly a book you want to pick up and put down exclusively at chapter ends.
