Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology, fundamentally changing our understanding of the human psyche and its symbolic language. Initially a protégé of Sigmund Freud, Jung diverged to explore the spiritual and universal dimensions of the mind. His extensive work with patients, mythology, and world religions led him to formulate groundbreaking concepts like archetypes, the collective unconscious, and individuation, which form the very foundation of this seminal book.
