C. G. (Carl Gustav) Jung
1875–1961
A pioneering Swiss psychiatrist whose ideas gave the world terms like introversion and extroversion, he opened a new way of thinking about dreams, symbols, and the hidden patterns of the mind. His writing still speaks to readers interested in psychology, religion, myth, and the search for meaning.

About the author
Born in Kesswil, Switzerland, in 1875, Jung trained as a doctor and became a psychiatrist. He worked at the Burghölzli clinic in Zürich under Eugen Bleuler and went on to found analytical psychology, a school of thought centered on the unconscious mind and the symbolic life of the psyche.
He is best known for influential ideas such as archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the personality attitudes of introversion and extraversion. Jung also explored dreams, mythology, religion, alchemy, and the creative imagination, bringing together psychology and the study of culture in a way that reached far beyond the clinic.
A prolific author, Jung wrote more than twenty books, and his work continued to shape psychology, literature, religious studies, and popular thought long after his death in Küsnacht in 1961. Readers often come to him not only for psychological theory, but for a rich and searching view of inner life.
