Synopsis

At the turn of the last century, C.G. Jung began his career as a psychiatrist. During the next decade three men whose names are famous in the annals of medical psychology influenced his professional development: Pierre Janet, under whom he studied at the Salpetriere Hospital in Paris; Eugen Bleuter, his chief at the Burgholzli Hospital in Zurich; and Sigmund Freud, whom Jung met in 1907. It is Bleuter, and to a lesser extend Janet, whose influence bears on the studies in descriptive and experimental psychiatry composing Volume 1 of the Collected Works. This book contains papers that appeared between 1902 and 1905.

About this title

Review:

"From this comparatively simple first volume it is easy to see how the fascinating mind of Jung approached and dealt with his material. His documentation is extremely careful but never tedious. This text reads with a freshness that is the hallmark of genius."--The New England Journal of Medicine

From the Back Cover:

The volume opens with Jung's desertion for the medical degree: 'On the Psychology and Pathology of So-called Occult Phenomena, ' a study that foreshadows much of his later work and as such is indispensable to all serious students of his work.
