"Carl Gustav Jung was the enigmatic and controversial disciple of Sigmund Freud, who supplemented Freud's work with crucial questions about religion and the soul. Explanations are given as to why Jung broke away from Freud and describes his own near-psychotic breakdown in mid-life, from which he emerged with radical new insights into the nature of the unconscious mind. This book demonstrated how Jung explored the psychology of religion, alchemy, astrology, the I Ching and other phenomena rejected by science, in the investigation of his patients' dreams, fantasies and psychic disturbances. - Back Cover."
