I subscribe to Google News to keep up with what's happening in psychiatry and psychotherapy. And the other day it served up an interesting item on Jungian books. But the item dates from January, 2004! I wonder what made Google cough it up yesterday?
Anyway, the list is from Deirdre Bair, who wrote a long and excellent biography of Jung, which I recommend highly. Here are her picks, courtesy of the Guardian:
1. Memories, Dreams, Reflections by CG Jung
2. Modern Man in Search of a Soul by CG Jung
3. Man and His Symbols by CG Jung (ed)
4. Jung and the Post-Jungians by Andrew Samuels
5. The Jungians by Thomas B Kirsch
6. On Jung by Anthony Stevens
7. Jung by Anthony Storr
8. The Vision Thing by Thomas Singer (ed)
9. CG Jung Speaking: Interviews and Encounters by William McGuire and RFC Hull (eds)
10. The Discovery of the Unconscious by Henri Ellenberger
What do you think? I have read all of them. And I have no real quarrel with her choices. I might not us Stevens or Storr , including instead Jung's Answer to Job and Susan Rowland's Jung as a Writer.
