Summary
 What are archetypes? What is the collective unconscious? Both these concepts are two of Jung’s most famous and exciting ideas.

In this volume, taken from the Collective Works, Jung describes and elaborates upon these two central concepts of his psychology. Included are essays on specific archetypes, a study of the process of individuation, and an account of mandala symbolism. The Journal of Analytical Psychology in its review of the text commented: ‘An eloquent witness to Jung’s greatness of mind and heart. His idea of the archetype involves profound attitudes towards man’s existence and intimates values through which very many people have found a new significance in their lives.’©1959 Carl Gustav Jung (P)2020 Ukemi Productions Ltd Mental Health Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Spirituality Heartfelt

I felt almost spoiled with how many answers Jung has in this book for questions most of us can reflect over for a lifetime. Obviously all of his answers are derived from his theory, however I have had much success embodying this theory in my own life and therefore hold the answers it provides in high regard.

I am listening to this alongside reading the equivalent book i.e. Jung's collected works volume 9 part 1 published by Routledge. Up to this point I have enjoyed it despite the voice being a bit robotic.
I have just got to page 335 and the audio skips to page 355. Nineteen pages worth of audio are strangely missing. The missing pages are Jung's commentary on the pictures 8-24 drawn by patient X plus the conclusion of the section.
A bit of a shame. Spoke to customer service who were helpful but mystified.
Just be aware of this before you purchase.

Not too bad but missing a section

Clear and easily understandable

Great place to start with Jung before you get stuck into the real masterpieces of Aion, Psychology & Alchemy and Mysterium Coniunctionis

Baptism into Jungian Theory
