Reading Jung: A Study of Selected Writings from the Collected Works

Many people drawn to Jung and Analytical Psychology have not read (or read very little) of Jung in the original. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in several of Jung’s major essays and extracts from the Collected Works.

In a small group setting on select (monthly) Wednesdays at the Library, beginning in August of 2025, an opportunity will be provided for the close study and discussion of 10 significant contributions to Analytical Psychology by the founder himself. Library Education Director, Angelo Spoto, has carefully selected the readings and comments: “These primary sources are all foundational materials and include essays and lengthy extracts from the Collected Works that are not only exceptionally good reading, they are among my personal favorites over the decades.”

1) Chapter 5 of Psychological Types, CW 6 (August 27, 2025)
2) The Relations between the Ego and the Unconscious, in CW 7 (September 24, 2025)
