Jung's Research in the Field of Astrology

The book «Jung's Research in the Field of Astrology» presents a historical overview of his astrological work from the moment he began studying the subject. The book is based not only on his published works but also on correspondence and documents found in his personal archives, many of which have never seen the light of day before. Liz Greene thoroughly explores the nature of Jung's fascination with astrology: the ancient, medieval, and modern sources he relied on, the people he learned from, his ideas about how and why it works, its religious and philosophical implications, its use in treating his patients, and his own self-understanding. Greene clearly demonstrates that any serious attempt to understand the development of Jung's psychological theories, as well as the nature of his worldview, must include a careful examination of his astrological work. This in-depth exploration of a central theme in Jung's work will be of interest to analytical psychologists and Jungian psychotherapists, students and scholars studying Jungian and post-Jungian theory, the history of psychology, archetypal systems, mythology and folklore, the history of New Age movements, esotericism, and psychological astrology.
