MAN AND HIS SYMBOLS - C G JUNG TASCHENBUCH

Man and His Symbols owes its existence to one of Jung's own dreams. The great psychologist
dreamed that his work was understood by a wide public  rather than just by psychiatrists  and
therefore he agreed to write and edit this fascinating book. Here  Jung examines the full world
of the unconscious  whose language he believed to be the symbols constantly revealed in dreams.
Convinced that dreams offer practical advice  sent from the unconscious to the conscious self 
Jung felt that self-understanding would lead to a full and productive life. Thus  the reader
will gain new insights into himself from this thoughtful volume  which also illustrates symbols
throughout history. Completed just before his death by Jung and his associates  it is clearly
addressed to the general reader. Praise for Man and His Symbols This book  which was the last
piece of work undertaken by Jung before his death in 1961  provides a unique opportunity to
assess his contribution to the life and thought of our time  for it was also his firsat attempt
to present his life-work in psychology to a non-technical public. . . . What emerges with great
clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and
to our general understanding of man in society  by insisting that imaginative life must be
taken seriously in its own right  as the most distinctive characteristic of human
beings.-Guardian Straighforward to read and rich in suggestion.-John Barkham  Saturday Review
Syndicate This book will be a resounding success for those who read it.-Galveston News-Tribune
A magnificent achievement.-Main Currents Factual and revealing.-Atlanta Times
