Jung (1875-1961) was a man of the millennium. His personal history parallels the history of the last century and is especially relevant to the current movement where themes not only from the last century but also the last millennium are being gathered in anticipation of the new era. Jung's life and work touch on the past century's two major themes: on the one hand, the discovery and mapping of the unconscious, an internal source of creativity and destruction for each individual; and, on the other hand, those outbreaks of dreadful violence and expressions of awesome creativity that can erupt from within the unconscious of humankind as a whole. |

This book will be of interest to psychotherapists, analytical psychologists, psychoanalysts, social workers, healthcare professionals and those interested in how the ideas of Jungian depth psychology impact upon and relate to the major scientific and cultural issues and trends of our century and beyond. |
