| Anthony Stevens
examines every stage of Jung's personal and professional development,
throwing light on his theories of the life cycle, dream symbolism, and
the collective unconscious. Jung is a profound, stimulating, and immensely influential
writer on almost every aspect of human behaviour; this lucid and penetrating
study makes the ideal introduction to his life and ideas. This new edition
contains an Afterword intended as a rebuttal to the recent attacks on Jung
made by Noll and McLynn. Reviews "From the beginning of this book, the reader is aware of being in the presence of a seasoned and highly knowledgeable scholar and practitioner . . . . The writing is clear and graceful . . . . This work is distinctive, original in its organization, and pleasing to read." James Jarrett, University of California, Berkeley. "This is an excellent book . . . .Many potential readers of Jung feel intimidated by Jung's style and the sheer bulk of his collected works. They could do no better than to turn to Anthony Stevens for enlightenment. He is an exceptionally clear expositor of Jung's thought." Anthony Storr, The Independent. "In On Jung Anthony Stevens offers an informative and clear explanation of the basic principles of Jungian psychology . . . . Stevens skillfully employs object relations theory in his analysis . . . . His treatment of the history of Jung's family and the impact of its dynamics on Jung's personality is refreshingly honest." John-Raphael Staude, The Times Literary Supplement. "Quite simply, this is quite the best introduction to Jungian psychology that I have seen. A must for anyone who would want to understand Jung’s work." Availability
