Summary
Carl Gustav Jung: Children's Dreams
Notes from a seminar held in 1936 - 1940 in Zurich
In the 1930s, Jung embarked on the enterprise of researching children's dreams as recounted by adults in order to better understand their significance in the lives of dreamers. He presented the results of his research in a four-year series of seminars at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.
In this book, we read Jung as a clinical psychologist, witty, impatient and occasionally authoritative in attitude, but always with recognizable wisdom and intellectual daring - as a teacher who, regardless of a brilliant mind, can be vulnerable, insecure and humbled by the great mysteries of life.
These seminars offer Jung's insightful insight into children's dreams and child psychology. At the same time, they offer the best examples of his supervision of the group, presenting detailed and thorough expositions of Jungian dream analysis and vividly depicting the way in which he interpreted dreams in lectures. Here, Jung reveals himself as a teacher dedicated to developing the practice of analytical psychology in dialogue with his students.
