The Undiscovered Self:

Product Information

Jung was intrigued from early in his career with coincidences, especially those surprising juxtapositions that scientific rationality could not adequately explain. He discussed these ideas with Albert Einstein before World War I, but... The Johari Window is a tool that can help in improving self-awareness and better understanding relationships. Developed by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham (the term ‘Johari’ is derived from their names) in 1955, the Johari Window is a model that facilitates exploring the conscious and subconscious areas of your life, building self-awareness. This might sound egoistic and neglectful for the surrounding people – and it actually might be. But the focus in the book is more on self-exploration and understanding ourselves, so we can improve ourselves.

I can therefore see it only as a delusion when the Churches try—as they apparently do—to rope the individual into some social organization and reduce him to a condition of diminished responsibility, instead of raising him out of the torpid, mindless mass and making clear to him that he is the one important factor and that the salvation of the world consists in the salvation of the individual soul.” Carl Jung Aion: Researches into the Phenomenology of the Self, part 2 of volume 9 in The Collected Works, was originally published in German (1951), and is a major work of Jung's later years.The General Index, with the General Bibliography of C.G. Jung's Writings (Volume 19 of the Collected Works), together complete the publication of the Collected Works of C.G. Jung in English. [5] [37] Philemon Series [ edit ] Psychology and Religion: West and East, volume 11 in The Collected Works, contains sixteen studies in religious phenomena, including "Psychology and Religion" and " Answer to Job". [25] The clash between these two fundamental instincts (preservation of the species and self-preservation) is the source of numerous conflicts. They are, therefore, the chief object of moral judgment, whose purpose it is to prevent instinctual collisions as far as possible.” Carl Jung Lesson #4: The Undiscovered Self is Veiled By Our Ability To Learn Studies in Word Association. London: Routledge & K. Paul. (contained in Experimental Researches, CW 2) This conflict can only be solved by a two-way thinking model: Doing one thing while at the same time not losing sight of the other possibilities (i.e., taking into consideration the data but also being aware that data is fragile and can’t showcase the uniqueness of the person, situation, etc.).

The book brings together Jung's essays on general questions of analytic therapy and dream analysis. It also contains his profoundly interesting parallel between the transference phenomena and alchemical processes. The transference is illustrated and interpreted with a set of symbolic pictures, and the bond between psychotherapist and patient is shown to be a function of the kinship libido. Far from being pathological in its effects, kinship libido has an essential role to play in the work of individuation and in establishing an organic society based on the psychic connection of its members with one another and with their own roots. [11] Editions [ edit ] But the psychology of the individual corresponds to the psychology of the nation. What the nation does is done also by each individual, and so long as the individual does it, the nation also does it. Only the change in the attitude of the individual is the beginning of the change in the psychology of the nation.” Carl Jung Lesson #2: We Misinterpret Others Because We Treat Them Based On Average Data Psychogenesis of Mental Disease, volume 3 in The Collected Works, shows the development of Jung's thoughts about the nature of mental illness, and established him as a pioneer and scientific contributor to psychiatry.Collected Works of C.G.

Retrieved 2014-01-20. ; Several important chapters elucidate Jung's ideas on synchronicity, which were later published separately as Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle. [18] Editions [ edit ] The statistical method shows the facts in the light of the ideal average but does not give us a picture of their empirical reality. While reflecting an indisputable aspect of reality, it can falsify the actual truth in a most misleading way. This is particularly true of theories which are based on statistics. The distinctive thing about real facts, however, is their individuality. Not to put too fine a point on it, once could say that the real picture consists of nothing but exceptions to the rule, and that, in consequence, absolute reality has predominantly the character of irregularity.”

These two essays, written late in Jung's life, reflect his responses to the shattering experience of World War II and the dawn of mass society. Among his most influential works, "The Undiscovered Self" is a plea for his generation--and... The core message of this book aims to explain that individually matters and that it should be explored and cherished. Paradoxically, the laws and the parties that are supposedly helping individuals are actually focusing on attracting even more followers – to amass even more power for themselves, careless of the individuals constituting their party.
