Man and His Symbols

“This book, which was the last piece of work undertaken by Jung before his death in 1961, provides a unique opportunity to assess his contribution to the life and thought of our time, for it was also his firsat attempt to present his life-work in psychology to a non-technical public… . What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society, by insisting that imaginative life must be taken seriously in its own right, as the most distinctive characteristic of human beings.”–Guardian “Straighforward to read and rich in suggestion.”–John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate

“This book will be a resounding success for those who read it.”–Galveston News-Tribune

“A magnificent achievement.”–Main Currents

“Factual and revealing.”–Atlanta Times

Jung studied medicine at Basel and worked at the Burgholzli mental health clinic in Zurich (1900-1909). He met Freud in 1907 and became his leading collaborator. He became critical of Freud’s approach in 1913, which caused a break between them.
