Jung was the first modern scientist to take seriously the reality of the unconscious and to dialogue with it throughout his life. He paid scrupulous attention to his dreams and to what they had to say concerning his personal life and world events of his day. Von Franz traces the development of Jung´s basic concepts, archetypes and the collective unconscious, complexes, psychological types, the creative instinct, active imagination, individuation and more, from their origins to their empirical documentation in his numerous books, papers and recorded lectures.

C G Jung - His Myth in Our Time is not only a unique biographical portrait of Jung the individual and Jung the intellectual pioneer. Nor is it simply the most authoritative and comprehensive account of Jung´s seminal ideas. It is also a history of the growth and development of one person´s creative powers, from which emerges the fascinating "myth" of a great man in our time.

Marie-Louise von Franz, Ph.D., worked closely with Jung from 1934 until his death in 1961.
