The Jung Cult received great attention for its revisionist opinions
about C.G. Jung and the origins of depth psychology. Young Carl Jung
offers a more balanced view with rare glimpses into Carl Jung's
formative years.
In a masterful telling of Jung's childhood, Brockway provides a clear
perspective on the impact young Carl's experiences played in forming his
later theories. Jung himself attributed his discovery of the collective
unconscious to early childhood experiences beginning with a particularly
vivid dream.
From Brockway's on-site research in Switzerland to his analysis of
Jung's octogenarian biography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, the
historical geographical, and intellectual influences that also impacted
Jung are woven into this engrossing picture of his ancestry, birth, and
school years.
