"Only for the most select and most balanced minds does it seem possible to guard the perceived picture of external reality against the distortion to which it is otherwise subjected in its transit through the psychic individuality of the one perceiving it." - Freud
"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." - Jung
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is known around the world as the "Father of Psychoanalysis," and for good reason. If anything, Freud's first patient was himself. A sufferer of psychosomatic symptoms, Freud diagnosed himself as having a repressed antagonism against his father. From there, Freud began to build on his now famous concepts of the unconscious, infantile sexuality and repression. And of course, there's his famous theory on the structure of the mind, which has made Id and Ego a commonly used part of the English lexicon.
In addition to all but creating a new field of science, Freud also contributed to entire industries. One of the first to try to analyze dreams, Freud's work has led patients in search of psychological explanations for various physical and mental symptoms and phenomena. The Interpretation of Dreams is Sigmund Freud's best known work, focusing on his theory of the unconscious with respect to dream interpretation. To Freud, dreams represented the unconscious attempt to fulfill some sort of wish, either by resolving a conflict or bringing certain memories to the surface.
And as a practitioner for many years, Freud wrote voluminously about his theories during the early 20th century, and his work tied in to a countless number of aspects concerning life and the mind. Whether he was analyzing why people find things funny (Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious), what causes hysteria and delusions (Delusion and Dream), death (Beyond the Pleasure Principle), and seemingly everything inbetween. As a result, Freud remains one of the most influential and famous thinkers and psychologists of the 20th century.
Carl Gustav Jung, the man who created analytical psychology both as a concept and as a practice, was a complicated person. He is also very difficult to understand, partly because so many of his personality traits seem to be contradictory and sometimes mutually exclusive.
Ferociously intelligent, he used rigorous scientific method to derive a completely new set of tools for understanding and healing the human mind, yet he also believed completely in telepathy, ESP, poltergeists and precognitive dreams, and he was convinced that coincidences were not the result of chance but evidence of the ability of the human mind to manipulate the physical world.
He was married to the same woman for over 50 years and claimed to love her, yet he was also a serial womanizer who also admitted to having a crush on a male colleague. For several years he was Sigmund Freud's closest confidante and admirer, but after the two disagreed, he never spoke to Freud again.
He appeared to be a supporter of the Nazis and was vilified for this by many people after World War II ended. It would take many years for classified information to make clear he had actually spent a large part of the war working against the Nazis as a spy for America.
Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung: The Pioneering Lives and Works of History's Most Influential Psychologists chronicles the fascinating lives both men led, the groundbreaking psychoanalytical and psychological theories they developed over decades of work, their collaborations, and their falling out. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Freud and Jung like never before.
