Jung and the Human Psyche: An Understandable Introduction presents a comprehensive introduction to Jungian theory, taking the reader through the major themes of Jung's work in a clear way, relating such concepts to individual experience.

The major topics of Jungian psychology are presented in a manner that is clear, emotionally engaging, well illustrated and non-dogmatic. Areas covered include:
The visible psyche: ego, persona, typology.
The hidden psyche: self, shadow, unconscious, archetypes, instincts.
Becoming who we are: early development, gender.
Obstacles and helps to growth: complexes, projection, psychopathology.
Helps from the psyche: psychic energy, self-regulation/compensation, symbol, synchronicity, creativity.
