Psychology of the Unconscious

The book explores the theoretical rift between Jung and Freud regarding the nature of libido, which ultimately strained their friendship. Jung presents an in-depth analysis of the Miller Fantasies, drawn from writings of Miss Frank Miller, to illustrate his views on schizophrenia and the symbolic nature of psychic energy. He seeks to uncover the deeper meaning behind these vivid mental images, laying the groundwork for his theories on the collective unconscious and archetypes. This work serves as a significant commentary on symbolic psychiatry and the psyche's complexities.
