Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Volume 1: Psychiatric Studies

by C. G. Jung, Herbert Read (Editor), Michael Fordham (Editor), Gerhard Adler (Editor), R. F.C. Hull (Translator)

Overview

The authoritative edition of early psychiatric studies by Jung, which foreshadow much of his later work

Psychiatric Studies gathers writings on descriptive and experimental psychiatry that Jung published between 1902 and 1905, early in his career as a psychiatrist. The book opens with a study that foreshadows much of his later work and is indispensable to all serious students of his psychiatric career. This is his medical-degree dissertation, “On the Psychology and Pathology of So-called Occult Phenomena,” a detailed analysis of the case of an adolescent girl who professed to be a medium. This volume also includes papers on cryptomnesia, hysterical parapraxes in reading, manic mood disorder, simulated insanity, and other subjects.

Editorial Reviews

"From this comparatively simple first volume it is easy to see how the fascinating mind of Jung approached and dealt with his material. His documentation is extremely careful but never tedious. This text reads with a freshness that is the hallmark of genius."
