Om den här e-boken

"The Theory of Psychoanalysis" by Carl Gustav Jung, published in 1915, is a scathing condemnation of Freud's theories on sexuality including the Oedipus-complex. This was incredibly embarrassing to Freud for his pupil to so forcefully disagree with him on an international platform, a threat which Freud never had in his academic career. Freud's hegemony in the field of psychology was challenged by this lecture. Jung started to explore the idea of the collective unconscious in this publication – a shared reservoir of experiences and symbols that have universal meanings across cultures. Building on his earlier works like the "Diagnostische Assoziationsstudien," Jung delved deeper into the nature of complexes, describing them as emotionally charged groups of ideas or images. This edition is a new edition with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. This manuscript has been updated into modern English spelling. Here Jung presents his critiques and expansions of Freud's original psychoanalytic ideas. This work is notable for Jung's departure from Freud’s emphasis on sexuality as the primary driver of human behavior. Instead, Jung introduces broader psychological motivations, including his early ideas of the collective unconscious and archetypes. This text was critical in defining Jung’s break from Freud and establishing his unique approach to psychoanalysis, which incorporates both personal and collective elements of the unconscious mind.

Om författaren

Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, is credited with founding analytical psychology, a framework that has profoundly influenced both psychological theory and practice. Born on July 26, 1875, in Kesswil, Switzerland, Jung first studied medicine and later specialized in psychiatry. His early association with Sigmund Freud significantly shaped his theoretical perspectives, particularly regarding the unconscious. However, Jung departed from Freud's emphasis on sexuality and instead proposed concepts such as the collective unconscious and archetypes - universal symbols that resonate across cultures. His exploration of individuation, the process of self-realization, emphasized the importance of integrating different aspects of the psyche. Jung's contributions extend beyond psychology into fields such as religion, art, and mythology, where his insights into human behavior and symbolism continue to resonate. He died on June 6, 1961, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire both practitioners and scholars in the field of depth psychology.
