This 1942 edition is a wartime printing of the landmark 1928 volume that first introduced English-speaking readers to a wide span of Jung's mature thought, translated by his close collaborators H.G. and Cary F. Baynes. Gathering essential essays—including "On Psychical Energy," "Spirit and Life," "Marriage as a Psychological Relationship," and "Woman in Europe"—it captures Jung in the act of defining analytical psychology as a discipline distinct from Freud's, ranging across psychic energy, typology, the stages of life, and the modern soul. Issued under the prestigious International Library of Psychology, Philosophy, and Scientific Method, this printing carried Jung's foundational ideas to a new generation of readers during the Second World War, and remains a desirable mid-century example for collectors of depth psychology and the history of ideas.
