Description

The contributions of Carl Jung to understanding of the human psyche are immense. Starting as Freud's most famous disciple, Jung soon broke away from his mentor to follow his own lines of investigation and discovery.

Never in all my life have I had to fight so hard to push through a book. I even LIKE Jungian psychology. This book was just so boring & abstract
