Public-Domain Audiobook
The Theory of Psychoanalysis
A free public-domain LibriVox recording of Jung’s lectures explaining both his debt to psychoanalysis and his growing differences with Freud.
About This Recording
This recording captures Jung during an important transitional period in his relationship to psychoanalysis. It is useful for tracing where he accepted, revised, or rejected assumptions associated with Freud’s school.
The terminology is historical and should not be mistaken for current diagnostic language. Read alongside biographical context and later works so that early formulations are not treated as Jung’s final position.
Listening Guide
Listen for definitions, points of disagreement, and places where Jung broadens the role of fantasy, symbolism, and psychic energy. Pause to summarize each lecture in your own words. Then compare those notes with the site’s Freud comparison, libido, complex, and analytical psychology pages.
