C. G. Jung se na sklonku svého života uvolil na naléhání přátel k tomu, že se svou spolupracovnicí a sekretářkou Anielou Jaffé napíše svou duchovní autobiografii. Stanovil si jedinou podmínku: kniha bude moci vyjít až po jeho smrti. Jungovy Vzpomínky, sny, myšlenky líčí jeho nejosobnější prožitky, jež ho od nejútlejšího dětství osudově vedly k hlubokému zkoumání skutečnosti duše a staly se úhelnými kameny jeho rozsáhlého vědeckého díla. Stěží existuje lepší úvod do Jungova duchovního světa a jeho analytické psychologie, než je právě tato kniha, jež se stala bestsellerem a dočkala se desítek vydání i překladů.

Na základě klinických, historických a transkulturních výzkumů a na základě konfrontace s vlastním nevědomím rozvedl své poznatky do otevřeného systému analytické psychologie. Propracoval koncepci kolektivního nevědomí a archetypů, originální psychologickou typologii, teorii snu.

A collection of death, dreams, and ghost stories were gathered and presented to C.G. Jung and the author, who approaches this fascinating material from the depths of her analytic experience. ¦ among the Swiss, who are commonly regarded as stolid, unimaginative, rationalistic and materialistic, there are just as many ghost stories and suchlike as, say, in England or Ireland. Indeed, as I know from my own experience ... magic as practiced in the Middle Ages ... has by no means died out, but still flourishes today ... I can recommend it to all those who know how to value things that break through the monotony of daily life with salutary effects, (sometimes!) shaking our certitudes and lending wings to the imagination " from the Foreword by C.G. Jung. We are left in the overpowering presence of a great mystery. 9783856305802

Aniela Jaffé was given permission to quote from Jung's highly personal „Red Book,“ and she does so in her essay on Jung's creative phases. Shortly before her death, the author also updated and expanded her long-famous article addressing the National Socialism accusations leveled against Jung. Sir Laurens van der Post provides a sharp echo in his Epilogue, written especially for this edition. Chapters: Parapsychology / C. G. Jung and National Socialism / From Jung's Last Years / The Creative Phases in Jung's Life / Alchemy / Epilogue (L. van der Post).

Aniela Jeffé explores the subjective world of inner experience. In so doing, she follows the path of the pioneering Swiss psychologist C.G. Jung, whose collaborator and friend she was through the final decades of his life. Frau Jaffé shows that any search of meaning ultimately leads to the inner "mythical" realm and must be understood as a limited subjective attempt to answer the unanswerable. Any conclusion drawn from such a quest is one's very own - its formulation is one's own myth.

C. G. Jung, the father of analytical psychology, explored the realms of thought and intuition. He devoted many years to an in-depth study of alchemy and closely observed the range of the occult; he was interested in anthropology and in nuclear physics. He liked to consider himself a scientist. But was Jung a „mystic“? Aniela Jaffé, his editor, collaborator and confidante, addressed this question and others in her last book of essays.

Aniela Jaffé presents thoughts and ruminations that Jung shared with her as they prepared Memories, Dreams, Reflections by C. G. Jung . These never-before-published revelations present a kaleidoscope of episodic, philosophical, humorous and enigmatic material, uniquely complementing and expanding on the widely acclaimed MDR . “Jung allowed his thoughts to flow freely during our conversations, according to the situation and his interests of the moment. When speaking with me he was not hindered by intellectual considerations of possible criticism. It didn’t concern him that his words and insights might require further thoughtful reflection before they could be deemed coherent or valid. If I managed to touch upon a point of interest, Jung did not just answer my question, but followed his train of thought further.” – Aniela Jaffé, from the Introduction The historical commentary by Elena Fischli illuminates the biographical work with C. G. Jung on the basis of source material. How did the conversations and the notes of Aniela Jaffé come about? What was the nature of the relationship and collaboration between her and Jung? How did others deal with their work? And finally, who was this woman who was so candidly given such a glimpse into Jung’s inner life?
