What did Carl Gustav Jung mean by archetypes, and how do his ideas about the unconscious differ from a personality test? This critical introduction explains complexes, the personal and collective unconscious, persona, shadow, the Self, dreams, synchronicity, and individuation. Invented examples show how symbolic interpretation may help a reader think, while the text distinguishes interpretation from scientific proof or diagnosis. Eighteen explanatory chapters, a separate working glossary, and a source map also examine the historical limits of gendered and racial hierarchies. For readers seeking a careful entry into analytical psychology.
