New in New jacket. Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Boston: Little Brown, 2003. First edition. 8vo. Hardcover binding, 881 pp. In 1910 Carl Gustav Jung was chosen by Sigmund Freud to become the first president of the International Psychoanalytic Association; by 1914, Jung had abandoned Freud's theory to found his own system of analytical psychology. Although Jung's ideas have achieved ascendancy over time, he has been the subject of much dispute and conjecture. Did he fake the data that led to his seminal theory of the collective unconscious? Was he an anti-Semite, a Nazi sympathizer and collaborator? Was he a misogynist who conducted polygamous relationships? Did Jung author his autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, or was it vetted and rewritten after his death? Deirdre Bair-winner of the National Book Award for her biography of Samuel Beckett-addresses these accusations and separates fact from myth and misconception to reveal surprises about Jung's personal and professional life including his role as "Agent 488" during World War II. Slight shelfwear. New in just about new dustjacket.

New. 0316076651. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT---BRAND NEW, FLAWLESS COPY, NEVER OPENED--881 pages. "Deirdre Bair has written about some of the most influential figures in 20th century culture-Samuel Beckett, Simone de Beauvoir, and Anas Nin. Now she turns her expert eye to the one person whose teachings and writings are the most influential of all: psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung. The founder of analytical psychology, Jung became the first president of the International Psychoanalytic Association in 1910. Jung had a professional relationship with Sigmund Freud until he broke with the elder father of psychoanalysis over his emphasis on infantile sexuality and the Oedipus complex. As Freud's influence has waned over the years, Jung's ideas-the collective unconscious, the archetypal myths underpinning all societies, synchronicity, 'new age' spirituality, and much more-have achieved an overwhelming ascendancy. Bair addresses the myths about Jung-accusations that he was an anti-Semite and a misogynist, and that he falsified data-with evidence from his own writings and from those of his colleagues and former patients. The result is a groundbreaking and accessible work that promises to be the definitive life of Carl Jung."--with a bonus offer--
