Jung explains various methods for uncovering the contents of the unconscious, in particular talk therapy and dream analysis.Ĭomplete with explanations of Jungian concepts and terminology, Consciousness and the Unconscious painstakingly reconstructs and translates these talks from detailed shorthand notes by attendees, making a critical part of Jung’s work available to today’s readers. For Jung, consciousness is like a small island in the ocean of the unconscious, while the unconscious is part of the primordial condition of humankind. He describes their respective characteristics using examples from his clinical experience as well as from literature, his travels, and everyday life. With candor and wit, Jung shares with his audience the path he himself took to understanding the nature of consciousness and the unconscious. Here for the first time in English is Jung’s introduction to his core psychological theories and methods, delivered in the summer of 1934. They are at the center of Jung’s intellectual activity in this period and provide the basis of his later work.
