The Freud/Jung Letters: The Correspondence between Sigmund Freud and C. G. Jung - Abridged Paperback Edition

Description

This abridged edition makes the Freud/Jung correspondence accessible to a general readership at a time of renewed critical and historical reevaluation of the documentary roots of modern psychoanalysis. This edition reproduces William McGuire's definitive introduction, but does not contain the critical apparatus of the original edition.

William McGuire has been the executive editor of the Collected Works of C. G. Jung and associate editor of the Bollingen Series.

"The relationship between Sigmund Freud and C. G. Jung had its bright beginning in 1906 and came to its embittered end in 1913. Its disastrous course was charted by the many letters the two men wrote each other... In 1970 the Freud and Jung families made the enlightened decision that this correspondence was to be edited as a unit and published... In no way does it disappoint the large expectation it has naturally aroused. Both as it bears upon the personal lives of the men between whom the letters passed and upon the intellectual history of our epoch, it is a document of inestimable importance."--Lionel Trilling, The New York Times Book Review
