Man and His Symbols

The book is dedicated to Jungian psychology and primarily the language of symbols. The authors show how the unconscious manifests in dreams and why such images cannot be reduced to a random collection of impressions. The focus is on archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation, that is, the movement towards a more holistic understanding of oneself. The material is revealed through the analysis of dreams, clinical cases, examples from mythology and art. Because of this, «Man and His Symbols» helps to see the connection between internal conflicts, cultural images, and personal experience.
