Jung's landmark seminar on the psychotherapeutic method of active imaginationIn the fall of 1931, C. G. Jung gave an intensive series of seminars on the use of active imagination in clinical practice. Delivered at the Hotel Sonne in Zurich, these lectures describe a technique in which subjects are encouraged to deliberately invoke their fantasies in a waking state and paint or sculpt the images that arise and even engage in dialogue with the characters that appear. Here for the first time in English is Jung's seminar on the theory and application of active imagination, offering unparalleled insights into his most distinctive contribution to psychotherapeutic method. These illuminating talks center on paintings and drawings done by Jung's patients in clinical sessions. Tracing connections between the spontaneous products of the individuation process and Eastern esoteric traditions, Jung demonstrates how these images stem from the collective unconscious and can be understood through mythological parallels, including those of Tantrism and Kundalini Yoga, which he was exploring at the time. He shows how the use of active imagination can promote the further individuation of patients. With explanations of Jungian concepts and terminology, The Active Imagination sheds light on the foundational role of Jung's thought in the development of modern art therapy and opens a window on a therapeutic method that he pioneered years earlier during self-analysis and recorded in the legendary Red Book.

Jung's landmark seminar on the symbolism of yoga and its applications to dream analysis In the summer of 1933, C. G. Jung conducted a seminar in Berlin attended by a large audience of some 150 people, including several Jewish Jungians who would soon leave Germany. Hitler had begun consolidating his position as dictator and these students were distressed at Jung's recent decision to accept the presidency of a German professional psychotherapy society that was rapidly becoming Nazified and purged of Jews. On Dreams and the East makes these seminar sessions widely available for the first time, offering tantalizing insights into Jung's evolving understanding of yoga and the realization of the self. The seminar commences with a presentation on the psychology of yoga by noted Indologist and linguist Heinrich Zimmer, whose collaboration in these talks reflects Jung's growing engagement with the Hindu tradition, particularly Tantric yoga. Jung analyzes a series of dreams of a middle-aged male patient, focusing on mandalas and the centering process. He reflects on related motifs in alchemical symbolism, Navaho healing drawings, Mithraism, baptism symbolism, the foundation of Rome, ecclesiastic dances, and labyrinths, drawing connections with the symbolism of yoga and Tantra. Featuring a richly documented introduction by Giovanni Sorge, On Dreams and the East opens a window on Jung's deepening exploration of Eastern thought and the comparative study of the individuation process at a critical juncture in his life and work.

In the course of his medical practice he reflected deeply on human nature and human problems, and his prolific writings bear witness to his great wisdom and insight.For this completely revised edition, selections from publications of the years 1945-1961, the last fruitful years of Jung's life, have been added, and the book has been reset in a new compact format. The selections are arranged thematically under four main headings: The Nature and Activity of the Psyche, Man in His Relation to Others, The World of Values, and On Ultimate Things.Jung's reflections frequently have a penetrating relevance to today's (and tomorrow's) problems. On prejudice: "e;Our unwillingness to see our own faults and the projection of them is the beginning of most quarrels, and is the strongest guarantee that injustice, animosity, and persecution are not ready to die out."e; On sex: "e;We are not yet far enough advanced to distinguish between moral and immoral behavior in the realm of free sexual activity."e; On religion: "e;No one can know what the ultimate things are. We must therefore take them as we experience them. And if such experience helps to make life healthier, more beautiful, more complete, and more satisfactory to yourself and to those you love, you may safely say: 'This was the grace of God.'"e;

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.
