About the Book
This book documents the extraordinary life and work of the great Swiss Psychologist whose contributions to the understanding of human consciousness far exceeded the conventional limits of psychology. Jung's work with dreams, his interpretations of religious and para-psychological phenomena, and his profound understanding of the language of myths and symbols are among his significant accomplishments. In this volume, the reader is taken on a complete visual tour of Jung's world, from his early childhood in Basel to his death in Kusnacht in 1961, shortly before his eighty-sixth birthday. With an accompanying text by Jung's biographer Gerhard Wehr, the book highlights the people, places and things of significance in Jung's life. Included are meetings with important figures such as the Father of Psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud; scholars of religion Mircea Eliade and Heinrich Zimmer; disciples and colleagues Marie-Louise von Franz, Erich Neumann, Karl Kerenyi, Toni Wolff, C.A. Meier, Larens van der Post, Aniela Jaffe, and many others; sites such as the refuge at Bollingen, where Jung built his famous Tower, and Casa Eranos, the scene of the interantionally known Eranos conferences; Jung's travels in Africa, Asia, and America; documents such as Jung's notebooks, diaries, and letters; and artwork reflecting the rich diversity of Jung's interests including drawings and mandalas by Jung himself.
