Providing a comprehensive overview of Jung's basic concepts and their application, this text provides an introduction for students and readers new to Jungian ideas. Part One, on psychological types, the shadow and the persona, leads on to a section on archetypes and complexes. This is followed by chapters on projection and identification, anima and animus. The text then turns to the midlife crisis, and to neurosis and individuation. It then addresses the analytic experience; and concludes with a series of writings on psychological development, self-knowledge, personality and individuation, and the religious dimension.

"It was the genius of C.G. Jung to discover in the 'holy technique' of alchemy a parallel to the psychological individuation process. This book, by Jung's long-time friend and co-worker, completely demystifies the subject. Designed as an introduction to Jung's more detailed studies, and profusely illustrated, here is a lucid and practical account of what the alchemists were really looking for--emotional balance and wholeness"--back cover.

Both a unique biographical portrait of Jung, as a person and as an intellectual pioneer, and a history of the growth and development of one person's creative powers, this book is a facsimile edition of a volume originally published in 1975.
