Summary: I second Griebel....
Review: ...you must have this; there are treasures here you won't find anywhere else. One of the finest collections of Jung and Jungiana I've seen.

Summary: A must! if you are interested in Jung.
Review: A must! if you are interested in C.G. Jung and his psychology.Why is "C.G. Jung Speaking" a must? FIRST OF ALL, simply because the Collected Works doesn't include the information found here. These are not works of Jung, but the works of others--interviews, characterizations etc. In other words, you will find some information here which you could only dig out with great difficulty, scattered in numerous works. SECOND, in the interviews Jung is sometimes caught off-guard by a surprise question, and so, forced to develop on the aspects of his theories that he may perhaps have though self-explanatory. THIRD, you see Jung through the eyes of others -- Esther Harding, Charles Baudoin, Michael Fordham, Charles Lindbergh, and others. Some subjects, touched upon in this book: - Jung's own type, according to his typology (Introvert. And Thinking, Intuition, Sensing/Perception, and Feeling, in that order) - Freud's type (extravert--hence his pleasure principle) - Adler's type (introvert--hence his power complex) - The psychology of dictators (Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and, yes, Roosewelt) - The nature of intuition - introvert vs. extravert intuitives - Creative achievement - Jung's breaking with Freud. - Jung and Nazism/anti-Semitism (Jung defends himself in December 1949) And the somewhat transcendent questions: - God - death and life after death - astrology and alchemy Edited by William McGuire, executive editor of the Collected Works (CW), in collaboration with R.F.C. Hull, translater of CW, it is no surprise to find that this excellent book contains numerous references to CW, as well as a comprehensive index.
