Jung: The wisdom of the dreamby Stephen Segaller and Merrill Berger

This book arose from a compilation of interviews on SBS in the UK.Jung dies in 1961. The SBS (UK) series, “The Wisdom of the Dream”, and this book which accompanies it, undertakes a journey in Jung’s footsteps through Switzerland, the US and Africa, and records the memories of those pupils, patients and followers of Jung who remember him well. no-repeat;center top;; auto 0pxHeading
It is an encounter with a man of humility, whose devotion to understanding and curing psychological pain affected everyone who met him.These interviews were made while the memory of Jung was very fresh. This book is quite raw and unpolished by today’s standards, which is very refreshing.It is long out of print but still available.

Comments

Just before Jung died in 1961 he wrote: 

"Nothing is holy any longer (CW 18 para 581 and 2). Through scientific understanding our world has become dehumanised. (Our) immediate communication with nature is gone for ever (para 585) No wonder the Western world feels uneasy, for it does not know how much...it has lost through the destruction of its numinosities. Its moral and spiritual tradition has collapsed, and has left a worldwide disorientation and dissociation."
