Young Carl Jung /

The Jung Cult received great attention for its revisionist opinions about C.G. Jung and the origins of depth psychology. Young Carl Jung offers a more balanced view with rare glimpses into Carl Jung's formative years.

In a masterful telling of Jung's childhood, Brockway provides a clear perspective on the impact young Carl's experiences played in forming his later theories. Jung himself attributed his discovery of the collective unconscious to early childhood experiences beginning with a particularly vivid dream.

From Brockway's on-site research in Switzerland to his analysis of Jung's octogenarian biography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections , the historical geographical, and intellectual influences that also impacted Jung are woven into this engrossing picture of his ancestry, birth, and school years.

Robert W. Brockway, Ph.D. , is professor emeritus of religion at Brandon University in Canada. After growing up on the Hawaiian Islands, he served as a Unitarian minister before getting his Ph.D. in religion. Brockway spent forty years at Brandon as a professor of history, religion, and philosophy. He is the author of Myth from the Ice Age to Mickey Mouse as well as numerous articles and research reports.
