Jung: A Very Short Introduction by Anthony Stevens

This is the most lucid and timely introduction to the thought of Carl Gustav Jung available to date. Though he was a prolific writer and an original thinker of vast erudition, Jung lacked a gift for clear exposition, and his ideas are less widely appreciated than they deserve to be. Now, in this extremely accessible introduction, Anthony Stevens--one of Britain's foremost Jungian analysts--clearly explains the basic concepts of Jungian psychology: the collective unconscious, complex, archetype, shadow, persona, anima, animus, and the individualization of the Self. A small masterpiece of insight and concision, this volume offers a clear portrait of one of the twentieth century's most important and controversial thinkers.

About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

During the past thirty years, Anthony Stevens has worked as a Jungian analyst and psychiatrist. He is a University of Oxford graduate with two degrees in psychology in addition to his medical degree. Ariadne's Clue (Princeton), Archetype: A Natural History of the Self, The Origins of Conflict, The Two-Million-Year-Old Self, Private Myths: Dreams and Dreaming, and Evolutionary Psychiatry: A New Beginning (with John Price) are among his past works.
