Collected Papers on Analytical Psychology

"Collected Papers on Analytical Psychology" by C. G. Jung is a collection of writings that explores the beginning stages of analytical psychology. It examines Jung's growing understanding of the unconscious mind, mental disorders, and the characteristics of psychological experiences. Jung compares his ideas with those of Sigmund Freud, and others who were his peers. The book starts by looking at psychological conditions that are hard to define, such as hysteria, epilepsy, and sleepwalking. Jung uses a specific case study of a woman who has strong hallucinations and unusual mental states, suggesting a link between hidden mental suffering and creativity. He argues that further scientific study is needed to better comprehend the human mind and its multiple layers.
