Description - Analytical Psychology by William McGuire

In 1925 Jung gave the first of his formal seminars in English. Conducted in weekly meetings during the spring and summer, it began with a notably personal account of the development of his thinking up to the break with Freud. It moved on to discussions of the basic tenets of analytical psychology - the collective unconscious, typology, archetypes, and anima/animus theory. In the elucidation of that theory Jung analysed the symbolism in Rider Haggard's She and other novels. Besides these literary paradigms, he made use of case material, examples in the fine arts, and illustrative material. In the introduction William McGuire - executive editor of the Collected Works of C.G. Jung and editor of the Freud/Jung Letters , places the seminar in the line of Jung's development and describes its members, some of whom became leading exponents of the Jungian school, and most of whom were interesting, even quixotic, characters.
