Summary: Jung as a psychiatrist
Review: With 20th century starts, C.G. Jung began his career as a psychiatrist. This book opens with Jung's dissertation "On the psychology and pathology of so-called occult phenomena". This study foreshadows much of his later works, and analyzes the case of somnambulism in a girl with poor inheritance. The next is "On hysterical misreading". In reply to the review of an earlier paper, accepted views on hysterical misreading are reiterated, and the theories are supported by interpretations from a clinical case. This book also includes studies of "hyterical parapraxes in reading", "Cryptomnesia", "On manic mood disorder", "simulated insanity" etc. It might be interesting to compare Jung's early papers with "Study on Hysterie", Freud's first psycho-anaystic work.
