Jungian Psychology

Carl Jung argued that the mind is larger than consciousness. Beneath the ego we present to the world sit complexes we do not choose, patterns we inherit, and a collective layer of images that show up, uninvited, in dreams, myths, and religions across cultures that never met.
Jungian Psychology follows that argument from its origins to its present state. It starts with Jung himself, his break with Freud, and the formation of analytical psychology, then lays out the architecture of the psyche: ego, personal unconscious, collective unconscious, complexes, and psychic energy. From there it works through the major structures, persona, shadow, anima and animus, the Self, and the archetypes, and through the process Jung put at the center of a life, individuation, becoming an individual rather than a copy of what others expect.
The second half tests the theory rather than just presenting it: dreams and active imagination, religion and alchemy, clinical practice and whether it works, Jung in relationships, work, politics, and the self-help industry, and the hard questions from modern science, feminism, and postcolonial criticism. It ends with practical work, mapping your own psyche, shadow integration, dream journaling, and a personal individuation project, and with the future: AI, virtual worlds, and neurotechnology as new mirrors of the psyche.
A history, a system, and a set of tools. Not a promise of wholeness, but a map of what wholeness would have to include.
