An authoritative collection of Jung's writings on analytical psychology, including Synchronicity

The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche features a selection of Jung's writings, ranging over four decades of his career, which illustrate the development of the conceptual foundations of analytical psychology. These pieces span the period from Jung's break with Freud and the psychoanalytical school, when Jung began formulating his own theories, to the 1950s, when he published an account of his controversial theory of synchronicity.
