Jung : For Beginners (Paperback)

Carl Gustav Jung merged Eastern mysticism with Western psychology, brought scientific respectability to religion, laid the foundation for 'the New age', and is second only to freud in influence and importance. So it is easy to see why some people consider him a genius. But others ....

Put it this way: Some people are so good that all we can do is look up to them. He was a great man who made great mistakes. The two most (in) famous events in Jung's life were his break with Freud and his sojourn with the Nazis. Most book on Jung minimize his Nazi period. Author and psychologist Jon Platania, finds Nazism too hideous to minimize, so he tells this part of the story without pulling any punches.
