Here is what people are saying about the Jung: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
4 Star Rating  "Carl Gustav Jung: Psychotherapist with Legacy of Star Wars Films"2009-10-07
- Reviewed By User: ABF34W1GYD0S8
Jung: A Very Short Introduction, Anthony Stevens, Oxford University Press, 159pp, charts, illustrations, $11.95.

20th century Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology, Carl Gustav Jung's approach is influential and he is considered as the first modern psychologist to advocate that the human psyche is by nature religious. He advanced an understanding the mind through exploring of dreams, art, mythology, religion and philosophy. Both as a theoretical psychologist and a practicing clinician, his work explored other areas, including Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, sociology, literature and the arts. Jung's ideas of the concept of psychological archetypes, the collective unconscious and synchronicity are found in George Lucas' Star Wars films. Joseph Campbell, an educator and mythologist drew Lucas' attention to Jung's concepts of archetypes.

Emphasizing the importance of balance and harmony, Jung came to believe that people rely too heavily on science and logic and ignore the benefits of integrating spirituality and appreciation of unconscious realms. The process of integrating the conscious with the unconscious while still maintaining conscious autonomy of the individual is a central tenet of his analytical psychology.

The strength of Anthony Stevens' Jung: A Very Short Introduction is that in 159 pages the the birth, development and implications of Jung's central tenets are presented clearly and concisely. Jung, a very close student and personal friend of Sigmund Freud, repudiated Freudian as being a reductionist. Stevens captures Jung's growth into and then out of Freud's sphere of influence. In the course of a lifetime as a psychologist who read deeply in anthropology, Jung explored dimensions of theof the mind and creativity as represented in a variety of cultures. Lucas' use of Jungian archetypes, as described by Joseph Campbell in interiews with Bill Moyers in a PBS series, is what made the first Star War film attractive to many viewers.

This introduction does what every excellent introduction does: it leads one inevitably back to a more productive reading of the primary sources. I wish this very short book were not so very short as I found all of it compelling, well-written and extremely helpful. Well worth both the time and money.
 
4 Star Rating  "Good"2009-03-08
- Reviewed By User: A3VQA0Q5XV18OC
The original works of Jung are vast, magmatic, extremely creative, and rather confusing. A lot of the confusion comes from Jung's poor choice of terminology and definitions.

This introduction, on the other hand, is simple, decently precise and sufficiently complete. While the number of pages is less than 200, the reader should be cautioned that they are quite densely typed. Therefore the book is only short if compared with the enormity of the Jungian corpus.

The author does a good job in depicting the complex, omnivorous personality of Jung, as well as the richness of his thought. Some quite interesting parts, like the metaphysical implications of his theories are only treated en passant. There is then a certain effort in putting down somehow precisely and schematically the most technical parts, as the archetypes, the shadow, the personae and so on.

In popular culture the departure of Jung from Freud is generally viewed as a (quite reasonable) rejection of the overwhelming importance Freud attributes to sexuality. I think Dr. Stevens makes i good job in showing that Jungian thought is not just an evolution of the Freudian one, or a sort of reasonable correction of Freud's extreme positions: it documents well the complete difference in approach of the two.

To Freud man is deeply negative at his core, being driven by unmentionable pulsions, incompatible with religion, morals, society; its psychology depicts man as the result of a strain between a horrific unconscious and the persona needed in everyday life. Jung's approach is much more positive, and proposes the human being as driven toward happiness as the full realization of the Self, of which he is just a particular manifestation.

The author explains well how Jung is conscious of the different anthropological origin of these two approaches, and uses Jung's distinction between "aryan" and "jewish" psychology to discuss to what extent Jung was indeed anti Semitic.

Overall a good introduction for the layman. As such it is less concerned with the practical/clinical theories/techniques, and more in investigating the weltanshaung from which they originate.
 
5 Star Rating  "An Excellent Introduction"2008-06-15
- Reviewed By thdizzy
I found this short volume to be an excellent introduction to the world of Jungian psychology. It starts off with a brief biography, since Jung's experiences had a great influence on his way of thinking. Then it gets into some of Jung's key concepts such as archtypes, psychological types, and dreams. Of particular interest is his views on therapy. He deeply disliked the clinical sterility of psychoanalysis, and favored a more person-to-person style of therapy. In this he stressed the involvement of the therapist with the patient--therapy as a two-way process between equals. It is this sense of warmth that makes Jung's ideas attractive. He allows for a more social approach to psychology. For those who haven't read about Jung before and would like a brief introduction, this book is perfect.
 
5 Star Rating  "Superb summary of Jung's life and thought"2006-08-26
- Reviewed By jhoppe
A professional with no training in psychology, yet long fascinated by Jung. fluent in German, having read Jung's Memories Dreams & Reflections several times, possessing his collected works and having read a substantial portion of them, I picked up this little book wondering what it could tell me and was amazed at the author's superb job of comprehensively summarizing, sympathetically yet critically, and very clearly and readably Jung's life and his work in what is but an evening's read. I learned things I didn't know and gained something from the bird's-eye view. This book is a tour de force. Hats off!

I'll pile on with what everyone else has said. I read this one and the VSI to Freud and they're both excellent......and a nice pair to read in sequence. Everything you probably want to know about Jung is here and it's all explained very clearly. A truly fascinating character and a great book.
