Enriched Edition. Lectures on Libido, Dreams, Neurosis, and the Origins of Analytical PsychologyBy C. G. Jung
Length7h 20m
About this audiobook
In The Theory of Psychoanalysis, C. G. Jung presents a lucid and consequential account of the principles, methods, and disputes that shaped early depth psychology. Originally delivered as lectures, the work combines clinical exposition with theoretical argument, clarifying concepts such as repression, libido, dreams, neurosis, and symbolic formation. Its style is disciplined yet exploratory, poised between medical science and humanistic interpretation. Historically, the book stands at the pivotal moment when Jung was both inheriting and revising Freud's psychoanalytic framework, expanding psychic life beyond sexuality toward broader symbolic and cultural meanings. Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist trained at the Burghölzli clinic in Zurich, brought to psychoanalysis an unusually wide intellectual range: psychiatry, mythology, religion, anthropology, and philosophy all informed his thought. His collaboration with Freud gave him intimate knowledge of orthodox psychoanalysis, while his clinical encounters and independent temperament led him to question its limits. This book reflects that transitional period, revealing the foundations of the analytical psychology he would later develop. Readers interested in the origins of modern psychotherapy will find this volume indispensable. It is especially recommended for students of psychology, intellectual history, and literature who wish to understand how psychoanalysis became a theory of meaning as well as a theory of illness.
