Hailed as definitive, judicious, and superbly readable, Jung: A Biography succeeds as no other book has in bringing into sharp focus the life and times of the most controversial figure in psychoanalysis. With unprecedented access to the Jung family archives, Deirdre Bair separates fact from misconception as she addresses the myths that have beset the legendary founder of analytical psychology: accusations that he was an anti-Semite and Nazi collaborator, that he was a misogynist, and that he falsified data central to his theory of the collective unconscious. Her book is a triumph of the biographical art – a work that provides fresh and startling insights into one of the modern era’s most important thinkers.
