Man And His Symbols by C. G. Jung

 Published by Pan Macmillan,1993, softcover, 412 pages, condition: very good.

"Man and His Symbols" owes its existence to one of Jung's own dreams. The great psychologist dreamed that his work would be understood by the general public, not just psychiatrists, and so he agreed to write and edit this remarkable book. Here, Jung explores the rich world of the unconscious, whose language, he believed, was the symbols constantly revealed in dreams. Convinced that dreams offer practical advice sent from the unconscious to the conscious self, Jung saw that self-understanding leads to a full and productive life.

Thus, the reader will gain new revelations about himself from this insightful book, which illustrates many symbols in the history of mankind. Jung's co-authors in this book are four collaborators whom he considered best equipped to explain his work.

"Man and His Symbols" is the world-famous psychologist's only attempt to explain to the general reader his theory of the meaning of symbolism in dreams and art and its importance for a full understanding of the unconscious human spirit. Completed by Jung and his collaborators just before his death, this book is addressed to the general public.
