Psychology of the Unconscious

This recording presents an early English translation of the work later revised as Symbols of Transformation. Jung interprets fantasy material through mythology and argues for a broader understanding of libido than the one associated with classical psychoanalysis.

The book marks a decisive stage in Jung’s separation from Freud. Its historical terminology and interpretive confidence should be read in context rather than adopted uncritically.

Use the work as a historical document in the development of analytical psychology. Compare major claims with later revisions, and distinguish Jung’s symbolic interpretation from claims supported by modern clinical evidence.
