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.

Don't miss this title

This is a great introduction to the jungian school and the narrator is pretty good.
