An outstanding introduction to the spirit and practice of Jungian psychology. Analyzed by Jung, Humbert brings a unique understanding of Jung's ideas, developed over many years within the atmosphere of French psychoanalytic thought. Translated from French by Ronald Jalbert.
Humbert has a remarkable capacity to get right inside Jung's ideas, bringing them close to human emotional experience and forcing the reader to confront the implications. At the same time, the book has an exemplary intellectual quality.
-Andrew Samuels, Author, Jung and the Post-]ungians
This book offers a basic exposition of Jung's psychology that is both simple and profound. It is a rare book and can be wholeheartedly recommended to both the beginner and the most advanced student of analytical psychology.
-Thomas Kirsch, Vice President, International Association for Analytical Psychology
Humbert has a miraculous talent for clarifying some of the most difficult and complex ideas of Jung, while retaining the original flavor. His appreciation for paradox-such as illness and apparent health, health and apparent illness-brings us close to Jung's essence.
