For Carl Gustav Jung, analysis was a spiritual quest to come to terms with oneself, to accept oneself, and to become, as far as possible, the person which it was intended one should be. His emphasis on the spiritual aspects of human nature, his view of the meaning of dreams, and his opinion on the importance of subjective experience brought him into conflict with his mentor, Sigmund Freud. In this exposition, his friend and colleague E.A. Bennet introduces readers to the thought of Carl Gustav Jung in the context of his life and work.

With an Introduction by Anthony Storr. E.A. Bennet introduces us to the thought of Jung in the context of his life and his life's work. In this classic overview of Jung's sixty-year career, Bennet covers the "background and development of Jung's thinking, personality classifications, analysis of the components of personality, the unconscious, dreams, the active imagination, alchemical symbolism and philosophy, psychotherapy, and Jung's relationship to Freud... The author's choice of material is judicious and the exposition of it shows deft craftsmanship." (Choice).

E.A. Bennet's biography of C. G. Jung went to press just a few days before Jung's death in 1961. Over the preceding fifteen years, Bennet had met frequently with Jung at his home and stayed there as his guest. Their many talks-about Jung's childhood, his family, his career and the development of his ideas-yielded the material for this authorized biography. In the months before publication, Jung read and corrected Bennet's book in typescript, making this the only biography of Jung to have been written during the subject's life with his supervision and approval. Thanks to Bennet's unique opportunities to hear Jung's personal perspective-on subjects from Freud to Hitler, and including a valuable correspondence about Aion, regarded as Jung's most "difficult" book-C.G. Jung sheds new light for today's scholars on Jung's work and on the man himself. Edward Armstrong Bennet (1888-1977), a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst, held degrees from Trinity College in philosophy, theology, and medicine and was well known as an outstanding psychotherapist and lecturer. In addition to being Jung's student and colleague, he was also a close personal friend for three decades. Bennet was a leader in introducing Jung's psychotherapeutic approach to the English-speaking world. He was the author of several books.
