"A clearly intelligent synthesis of the work of this important psychologist. . . . The reader has within the compass of two covers the 'system' of this prolific writer."--Education Abstracts"A well organized and highly coherent summary."--Saturday Review Dr. C. G. Jung never took time out from his pioneering work in psychology to make a concise presentation of the elements of his psychological theories. Dr. Jolande Jacobi's synthesis--applauded by Jung in his Foreword--presents a comprehensive review of the central context of Jung's system by a student and colleague who worked closely with him for many years.
1) Good points - brief (150 pg), organized, concise, and comprehensive coverage of the topic for its length. 2) Bad point - like that of many of Jung's followers (and Jung himself) the prose is like viscous mud, and reading it is a needlessly tough slog.
Jacobi on Jung
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I have used a number of introductions to the ideas of Carl Jung in my Literature and Psychology courses over the years, and Jacobi's book is the best. My students find its presentation of Jung's ideas clear and thorough.
