Disciplines:
psychology

Summary

Jung's autobiographical memoir — dictated to Aniela Jaffé and published posthumously — following his intellectual and spiritual development from childhood visions through his break with Freud, his 'confrontation with the unconscious,' and his mature work, ending with his reflections on death and eternity.

Core Contribution

Provides Jung's own account of his inner development — the childhood dreams and visions, the Tower No. 2 personality, the Red Book period, the alchemical studies — making it the essential first-person source for understanding Jung's psychology as lived experience rather than academic system.
