About the author
Born in Switzerland in 1875, Carl Gustav Jung trained in medicine and became a psychiatrist at the Burghölzli clinic in Zürich. He first gained international attention through his work on word association and his collaboration with Sigmund Freud, though the two later parted ways as Jung developed his own distinct approach.
Jung went on to found analytical psychology, a school of thought centered on the unconscious, symbolic life, and the process he called individuation. He is especially known for ideas that reached far beyond clinical psychology, including the collective unconscious, archetypes, and the personality attitudes of introversion and extraversion.
A prolific writer, Jung explored dreams, mythology, religion, alchemy, and symbolism in books and essays that continue to attract readers across psychology, literature, and spiritual thought. He died in 1961, but his work remains one of the most influential and widely discussed bodies of writing in twentieth-century psychology.
