Jung's landmark seminar sessions on dream interpretation and its history
From 1936 to 1941, C. G. Jung gave a four-part seminar series in Zurich on children's dreams and the historical literature on dream interpretation. This book completes the two-part publication of this landmark seminar, presenting the sessions devoted to dream interpretation and its history. Here we witness Jung as both clinician and teacher: impatient and sometimes authoritarian but also witty, wise, and intellectually daring, a man who, though brilliant, could be vulnerable, uncertain, and humbled by life's mysteries. These sessions open a window on Jungian dream interpretation in practice, as Jung examines a long dream series from the Renaissance physician Girolamo Cardano. They also provide the best example of group supervision by Jung the educator. Presented here in an inspired English translation commissioned by the Philemon Foundation, these sessions reveal Jung as an impassioned teacher in dialogue with his students as he developed and refined the discipline of analytical psychology.
An invaluable document of perhaps the most important psychologist of the twentieth century at work, this splendid book is the fullest representation of Jung's interpretations of dream literatures, filling a critical gap in his collected works.

      This book completes a two-part publication in English of a large German volume published in 1987. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung (1875-1961) led a seminar in Zurich from 1936 to 1941. In 14 chapters Jung discusses texts by different authors, with comments and questions from his students. "[Jung's] easily understandable language and the apparent simplicity of the children's dreams facilitate understanding [of] his human side, his humor, and his satirical vein." Unlike his early mentor, Sigmund Freud, Jung focused on anthropology and mysticism in visions rather than sex and aggression. Jung, who traveled in Africa, admired primitives as " natural psychologists " and believed their views corresponded to his own, the result of this respect was a self-described belief that people saw him as a practitioner of demonology. Jung discusses dream interpretation through the ages, disputing Freud on notions of the unconscious--he says, "It's quite cheap simply to impute a wish to the dream text." VERDICT Full of symbols, analogies, and speculation, this entertaining, scholarly book will be accessible to general readers interested in psychology, anthropology, and the occult.--E. James Lieberman, George Washington Univ. Sch. of Medicine, Washington, DC
