Psychological Types

One of the most important of Jung's longer works and probably the most famous of his books, Psychological Types appeared in German in 1921 after a fallow period of eight years during which Jung published little. In expounding his system of personality types Jung relied not so much on formal case data as on the countless impressions and experiences derived from the treatment of nervous illnesses, from intercourse with people of all social levels, friend and foe alike, and form an analysis of his own psychological nature. The book is rich in material drawn from literature, aesthetics, religion, and philosophy. The extended chapters that give a general description of the types and definitions of Jung's principal psychological concepts are key documents in analytic psychology. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
