Publisher Description

Modern Man in Search of a Soul is the classic introduction to the thought of Carl Jung. Along with Freud and Adler, Jung was one of the chief founders of modern psychiatry. In this book, Jung examines some of the most contested and crucial areas in the field of analytical psychology: dream analysis, the primitive unconscious, and the relationship between psychology and religion.

"Jung's lecture "The Spiritual Problem of Modern Man" is so very rich and entirely relevant, still, today. It was delivered in Zurich in 1931 at the cusp of another horrific war. I forgot what a plain-spoken sage he could be at times, deep, elegant and never denying our capacity for both good and evil. I'm still digesting ... If you read only one essay by Carl Jung, this should be the one."

    " Ok, I'm not a jungian. I couldn't finish this. I was going along OK, but the more he floated off into lala land, the less I could tolerate. Plus he has a redundant writing style. I also liked how he kept saying that psychologists needed to work together and all learn together, but then saying all the ways Freud sucks. I did learn some about dream interpretion, and learned from some of his case stories, but overall this was not for me. On the other hand, I got the 1960s edition which has a really cool cover...so that kind of makes up for it. "

    " This book is typically used as a counterpoint to some of the Freudian analysis of the preceding time period. Jung is easier to read than Freud, however, and this work is still quite relevant today. Jung is the father of the concept of gestalt, which is eloquently detailed within this work. "

    " The brilliant synopsis of Carl Gustav Jung is his description of the 'modern man' - "with everything behind him and nothing infront of him". That imagery and his description are vivid and challenging at the same time. "

    " I really don't have words to express my admiration. Jung formed the bridge from Western analytical psychology to the Eastern ideas of the human soul. His broadmindedness and deep intuition are a hair-raising experience. This also happens to be a surprisingly accessible book on psychotherapy, and even the layman will be able to extract much from it. "

    " This is a must, if you are interested in psychology. I really enjoyed the application of the soul and the brain together. Jung is enjoyable to read, because he understand that he could be flawed in everything that he says. It's refreshing. "

    " Another brilliant look into the human psyche. His thoughts on the language of symbols created through mediums such as painting and film were particularly interesting. "

    " The more Jung I read, the more I love his work - it is truely inspiring. Jung is to real psychological-religious understanding in the scientific era as...the Upanishads were in the era of the vedas. "
