Memoirs, dreams, thoughts. (Un)conscious Biography of C. G. Jung

Abstract

Memories, dreams, thoughts is an autobiographical book by Carl Gustav Jung in which the author deliberates on his life not only as a famous psychotherapist, but also as a protestant, psychiatrist, traveler, philosopher and mystic. Jung shows the paths that lead him to creating his own analytical branch of depth psychology and to revolutionizing the approach to the mechanisms of working with patients of mental hospitals. Although the book could be read as an autobiography only, we can also find a part of the history of psychiatry, journeys diaries, analyses of dreams and even some philosophical and mystical reflections.
