Jung's Library

“The main content of Jung’s private library was contemporary literature of the 19th and 20th century, mainly about medicine, psychiatry, psychology and philosophy. Additionally there are a great number of books on antique cultures, gnosis, christian symbols, eastern religion, ethnology and occultism. The library also contains a collection of about 300 rare books (printed before 1800) on alchemy, theurgy and kabbala, as well as antique literature on dreams, writings of church fathers and of the latin and greek classic.”

Toward Analytical Psychology was created by Charles
In 1916 Jung began to translate his work in the Black Books and Liber Novus into contemporary Psychological terms. To quote Shamdasani - “...between 1911 - 1914, …establishing a structural account of general human functioning and of psychophaology.  concepts of phylogenetically acquired consciousness peopled by mythic images…. Non-sexual psychic energy…. Introversion and extroversion… compensatory and prospective function of dreams….synthetic and constructive approach to fantasies…”  Next was the elaboration of the individuation process. 1916 - Lecture - “The Structure of the Unconscious” 1916- talks on the subject of adaptation and individuation. 1916 - paper “The Transcendent Function” 1917- book - The Psychology of the Unconscious Process:An overview of the Modern Theory and Method of Analytical Psychology. As Shamdasani says: “The attempt to gain the wisdom stored in the unconscious is portrayed throughout the Black Books. … The unconscious is here viewed as a source of higher wisdom.”
