La sabiduría y la mística orientales tienen mucho que decirnos pese a hablar su propio e inimitable lenguaje. Ambas deberían hacer que recordáramos los bienes similares que posee nuestra cultura y que nosotros hemos olvidado ya, y dirigir nuestra atención a aquello que hemos dejado a un lado por insignificante, es decir, el destino mismo del hombre interior.Estas palabras de C. G. Jung resumen bien lo que se ha denominado su viaje a Oriente. La presente edición reúne sus principales textos sobre la religión y la civilización orientales, un encuentro y una confrontación que supusieron un estímulo para el desarrollo de la psicología analítica. Son comentarios y prólogos al Libro tibetano de la Gran Liberación y al Libro tibetano de los Muertos, o también a los trabajos de Daisetz T. Suzuki o Heinrich Zimmer, y en especial al I Ching, el libro sapiencial y oracular chino.

Esta obra nos presenta uno de los temas principales y más controvertidos de Carl G. Jung: el problema de lo inconsciente colectivo y los principios y patrones de su actividad. El volumen contiene asimismo un ensayo en el que Jung nos ofrece unas consideraciones teóricas sobre la naturaleza de lo psíquico así como un intento de sintetizar las múltiples facetas de su pensamiento. Para ello toma, como punto de partida, la última y más atrevida de sus hipótesis, la de la naturaleza del arquetipo. En el conjunto de su obra, este ensayo ocupa un lugar comparable al de Esquema del psicoanálisis en la obra de Freud, en la medida en que ambos textos contienen una exposición de sus respectivas doctrinas.

Discípulo predilecto de Freud durante un tiempo y fundador más tarde de la escuela psicoanalítica rival de la vienesa, C. G. Jung (1875-1961) se interesó no sólo por la investigación clínica y la práctica terapéutica, sino también por los más variados saberes que pudieran arrojar luz sobre el alma humana, desde la filosofía hasta la antropología y la mitología. Clásico del pensamiento moderno, ?Los complejos y el inconsciente? es la mejor exposición de las ideas y métodos del gran humanista suizo, abarcando su técnica de análisis de los sueños, los arquetipos ?estructuras mentales innatas, análogas en el plano psíquico a los instintos biológicos y herencia milenaria del inconsciente colectivo?, la proyección ?mediante la que el hombre imprime a los objetos exteriores los rasgos de su propia vida? y, por último, los complejos, heraldos imprevistos de las profundidades inconscientes que se comportan en el espacio consciente como elementos extraños y perturbadores.

Jung began his career as a psychiatrist in 1900, when he was 25, as an assistant working under Dr. Eugen Bleuler at the Burgholzli Hospital in Zurich. In 1906, after he had become senior staff physician and before his first meeting with Freud in Vienna in 1907, Jung wrote his famous monograph "On the Psychology of Dementia Praecox." Ernest Jones described it as "a book that made history in psychiatry and extended many of Freud's ideas into the realm of the psychoses proper." A. A. Brill (whose introduction to his 1936 translation is included here) has called this work indispensable for every student of psychiatry--"the work which firmly established Jung as a pioneer and scientific contributor to psychiatry." Originally published in 1974. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

El tema central de esta importante obra jungiana es la representación simbólica de la totalidad psíquica mediante el concepto del sí-mismo, cuyo equivalente histórico y tradicional es la figura de Cristo. Jung demuestra su tesis investigando las Allegoriae Christi, especialmente el simbolismo del pez y los símbolos gnósticos y alquímicos, que considera fenómenos de asimilación cultural. Los capítulos sobre el yo, la sombra y el animus y el ánima constituyen una valiosa integración de los conceptos claves del sistema junguiano.

Until 1912 the association of Jung and Freud was very close, and Jung was regarded as one of the leading practitioners of psychoanalysis. Subsequently, however, Jung began to differ with Freud, and his public criticism of psychoanalysis led to a formal rupture between them. The papers in this volume contain the essentials of that criticism, especially "The Theory of Psychoanalysis," a lecture series given at Fordham University in 1912. Two later papers--"Freud and Jung: Contrasts" and the introduction to a book by W. M. Kranefeldt--together form a basis for further study of Jung's reassessment of psychoanalysis. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Los ensayos de C. G. Jung sobre la psicogénesis de las enfermedades mentales pertenecen, en su mayoría, a las publicaciones tempranas del autor. Aparecieron como primer punto culminante dentro de su trabajo aún preponderantemente psiquiátrico. Su importancia para la comprensión del trabajo de investigación de C. G. Jung todavía no puede valorarse en su justa medida. A pesar de que algunos aspectos tienen actualmente un interés principalmente histórico, en conjunto no han perdido en modo alguno su importancia en el campo de la psiquiatría. Medio siglo después, las investigaciones y ulteriores propuestas del autor siguen aguardando su desarrollo y experiencia.

Encuadernación: Rústica.Colección: Obra Completa de Carl Gustav Jung; 5.Esta es la versión completa y definitiva de una de las obras más revolucionarias y centrales de C. G. Jung. A partir de la reconstrucción y examen de los procesos semiconscientes e inconscientes del caso de una joven, Jung muestra que la psicología no puede prescindir de la historia del espíritu humano. La fantasía creadora dispone del espíritu primitivo, con sus imágenes específicas, que se manifiestan en las mitologías de todos los pueblos y épocas e integran lo inconsciente colectivo.

En la Biblioteca Carl G. Jung, Paidós recuperan los textos más destacados de una de las figuras claves en el desarrollo de la etapa inicial del psicoanálisis.En ella, Jung subraya la importancia de la edad juvenil; son demasiado evidentes los perjuicios graves que origina una educación deficiente en el hogar y en la escuela y que perduran a veces toda la vida. Esta es la reflexión que impregna todo el texto, cuya lectura sigue siendo imprescindible en nuestros días.

El secreto de la flor de oro es el secreto de los poderes de crecimiento latentes en la psique humana. A partir de esta definición, Jung y Wilhelm abordan un nuevo enfoque de la sabiduría china -tomando como fuentes un antiguo sistema del yoga chino y la psicología analítica- y nos demuestran el profundo desarrollo psicológico que produce un buen equilibrio entre las fuerzas que confluyen en nuestra mente. Los autores se basan en dos de las tesis principales de la psicología analítica, (la teoría del símbolo como transformación de energía y la teoría de animus y anima) para deplorar que el hombre occidental pretenda imitar el saber oriental, algo que les parece tan estéril como las modernas escapadas a Nuevo México, a las beatificas islas de los Mares del Sur y al África Central, donde juega en serio a ser primitivo. Y nos proponen reconstruir la cultura occidental, aquejada de mil males. Lo cual debe hacerse en el lugar adecuado, y a ello debe dedicarse el hombre europeo, con su trivi

El seminario de C. G. Jung dedicado al yoga Kundalini,impartido en octubre y noviembre de 1932 en el Club de Psicología de Zúrich, constituye originalmente un comentario psicológico a las conferencias dictadas poco antes en ese mismo escenario por el indólogo Wilhelm Hauer. El propio Jung había valorado la invitación cursada a Hauer como un signo de los tiempos extraordinariamente revelador: Consideren lo que significa que el terapeuta, que tiene que tratar directamente con gente que sufre y, por tanto, muy sensible, establezca contacto con una terapia oriental!.El yoga participa de dos nociones que son comunes a toda la filosofía y religión indias: la reencarnación y la búsqueda de liberación del ciclo de nacimiento, muerte y renacimiento. Pero aunque el tantrismo, al que pertenece la escuela del yoga Kundalini, fue un movimiento religioso y filosófico, el interés de Jung por el yoga tántrico es eminentemente psicológico, pues ve en él un proceso natural de introspección.

In 1945, at the end of the Second World War and after a long illness, C. G. Jung delivered a lecture in Zurich on the French Romantic poet Gerard de Nerval. The lecture focused on Nerval's visionary memoir, Aurelia, which the poet wrote in an ambivalent attempt to emerge from madness. Published here for the first time, Jung's lecture is both a cautionary psychological tale and a validation of Nerval's visionary experience as a genuine encounter. Nerval explored the irrational with lucidity and exquisite craft. He privileged the subjective imagination as a way of fathoming the divine to reconnect with what the Romantics called the life principle. During the years of his greatest creativity, he suffered from madness and was institutionalized eight times. Contrasting an orthodox psychoanalytic interpretation with his own synthetic approach to the unconscious, Jung explains why Nerval was unable to make use of his visionary experiences in his own life. At the same time, Jung emphasizes the validity of Nerval's visions, differentiating the psychology of a work of art from the psychology of the artist. The lecture suggests how Jung's own experiments with active imagination influenced his reading of Nerval's Aurelia as a parallel text to his own Red Book. With Craig Stephenson's authoritative introduction, Richard Sieburth's award-winning translation of Aurelia, and Alfred Kubin's haunting illustrations to the text, and featuring Jung's reading marginalia, preliminary notes, and revisions to a 1942 lecture, On Psychological and Visionary Art documents the stages of Jung's creative process as he responds to an essential Romantic text.

Jung’s lectures on consciousness and the unconscious—in English for the first timeBetween 1933 and 1941, C. G. Jung delivered a series of public lectures at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. Intended for a general audience, these lectures addressed a broad range of topics, from dream analysis and yoga to the history of psychology. They are at the center of Jung’s intellectual activity in this period and provide the basis of his later work. Here for the first time in English is Jung’s introduction to his core psychological theories and methods, delivered in the summer of 1934.With candor and wit, Jung shares with his audience the path he himself took to understanding the nature of consciousness and the unconscious. He describes their respective characteristics using examples from his clinical experience as well as from literature, his travels, and everyday life. For Jung, consciousness is like a small island in the ocean of the unconscious, while the unconscious is part of the primordial condition of humankind. Jung explains various methods for uncovering the contents of the unconscious, in particular talk therapy and dream analysis.Complete with explanations of Jungian concepts and terminology, Consciousness and the Unconscious painstakingly reconstructs and translates these talks from detailed shorthand notes by attendees, making a critical part of Jung’s work available to today’s readers.

Jung’s legendary American lectures on dream interpretationIn 1936 and 1937, C. G. Jung delivered two legendary seminars on dream interpretation, the first on Bailey Island, Maine, the second in New York City. Dream Symbols of the Individuation Process makes these lectures widely available for the first time, offering a compelling look at Jung as he presents his ideas candidly and in English before a rapt American audience.The dreams presented here are those of Nobel Prize–winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli, who turned to Jung for therapeutic help because of troubling personal events, emotional turmoil, and depression. Linking Pauli’s dreams to the healing wisdom found in many ages and cultures, Jung shows how the mandala—a universal archetype of wholeness—spontaneously emerges in the psyche of a modern man, and how this imagery reflects the healing process. He touches on a broad range of themes, including psychological types, mental illness, the individuation process, the principles of psychotherapeutic treatment, and the importance of the anima, shadow, and persona in masculine psychology. He also reflects on modern physics, the nature of reality, and the political currents of his time. Jung draws on examples from the Mithraic mysteries, Buddhism, Hinduism, Chinese philosophy, Kundalini yoga, and ancient Egyptian concepts of body and soul. He also discusses the symbolism of the Catholic Mass, the Trinity, and Gnostic ideas in the noncanonical Gospels.With an incisive introduction and annotations, Dream Symbols of the Individuation Process provides a rare window into Jung’s interpretation of dreams and the development of his psychology of religion.

"Kundalini yoga presented Jung with a model of something that was almost completely lacking in Western psychology--an account of the development phases of higher consciousness...Jung's insistence on the psychogenic and symbolic significance of such states is even more timely now than then. As R. D. Laing stated...'It was Jung who broke the ground here, but few followed him.'"--From the introduction by Sonu Shamdasani Jung's seminar on Kundalini yoga, presented to the Psychological Club in Zurich in 1932, has been widely regarded as a milestone in the psychological understanding of Eastern thought and of the symbolic transformations of inner experience. Kundalini yoga presented Jung with a model for the developmental phases of higher consciousness, and he interpreted its symbols in terms of the process of individuation. With sensitivity toward a new generation's interest in alternative religions and psychological exploration, Sonu Shamdasani has brought together the lectures and discussions from this seminar. In this volume, he re-creates for today's reader the fascination with which many intellectuals of prewar Europe regarded Eastern spirituality as they discovered more and more of its resources, from yoga to tantric texts. Reconstructing this seminar through new documentation, Shamdasani explains, in his introduction, why Jung thought that the comprehension of Eastern thought was essential if Western psychology was to develop. He goes on to orient today's audience toward an appreciation of some of the questions that stirred the minds of Jung and his seminar group: What is the relation between Eastern schools of liberation and Western psychotherapy? What connection is there between esoteric religious traditions and spontaneous individual experience? What light do the symbols of Kundalini yoga shed on conditions diagnosed as psychotic? Not only were these questions important to analysts in the 1930s but, as Shamdasani stresses, they continue to have psychological relevance for readers on the threshold of the twenty-first century. This volume also offers newly translated material from Jung's German language seminars, a seminar by the indologist Wilhelm Hauer presented in conjunction with that of Jung, illustrations of the cakras, and Sir John Woodroffe's classic translation of the tantric text, the Sat-cakra Nirupana.

The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung’s later works. It was here that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality. As Sara Corbett wrote in the New York Times, “The creation of one of modern history’s true visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung’s place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of course, Freud.” The Red Book: A Reader’s Edition features Sonu Shamdasani’s introductory essay and the full translation of Jung’s vital work in one volume.
