Psychological Types is one of Jung's most important and most famous
works. First published by Routledge (Kegan Paul) in the early 1920s it
appeared after Jung's so-called fallow period, during which he published
little, and it is perhaps the first significant book to appear after his
own confrontation with the unconscious. It is the book that introduced
the world to the terms 'extravert' and 'introvert'.
Though very much associated with the unconscious, in Psychological
Types Jung shows himself to be a supreme theorist of the conscious. In
putting forward his system of psychological types Jung provides a means
for understanding ourselves and the world around us: our different
patterns of behaviour, our relationships, marriage, national and
international conflict, organizational functioning.
Appearing in paperback for the first time this central volume from
Jung's Collected Works will be essential to anyone requiring a proper
understanding of Jung's psychology.
