Carl Gustav Jung: A Biography
Frank McLynn has written other books such as 'Napoleon: A Biography,' 'Marcus Aurelius: A Life,' 'Robert Louis Stevenson: A Biography,' etc.
He wrote in the Preface to this 1996 book, "this book does not purport to be a definitive biography of C.G. Jung. Such a work will not be possible until all the relevant documentation is released into the public domain... Nevertheless, I would be surprised if future discoveries significantly alter our perception of Jung's doctrines and their implications. Future research... will no doubt uncover the names of Jung's many unknown mistresses, the dates of the liaisons and much more along these lines. Whether it will revolutionize our understanding of his doctrines is more doubtful." (Pg. xi)
He states, "Jung's 'struggle with God' was an internalized form of his struggle to jettison the theological and psychic baggage of his father [a minister], and his contempt for traditional Christianity an aspect of his contempt for the man who had allowed that dispensation to immobilize him... At his Communion, Jung felt no spiritual contact with God, but merely a numbing void, and felt the entire ceremony to be a meaningless hoax... he was convinced that it was precisely because he was a 'chosen one' that he had been cut off from his father's church and the faith he and other Christians so blithely shared. He, Carl Jung, had received God's grace through moral strenuousness, not the sterile formulae preached by parsons." (Pg. 29-30) Later, he notes, "Although highly sceptical about Christianity in general, Jung was always far more sympathetic to Catholicism than to Protestantism." (Pg. 413)
As a student, Jung attended séances (pg. 40-41). After noting that Jung became a "compulsive womanizer" (Pg. 80), McLynn comments, "Why did Jung chafe so fretfully under the yoke of monogamy? The key must be sought in his relationship with his mother... she had be

Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist (1875–1961)

Carl Gustav Jung (YUUNG;German:[kaʁlˈjʊŋ]; 26 July 1875 – 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and psychologist who founded the school of analytical psychology. He was a prolific author, illustrator, and correspondent, and a complex and controversial character, in certain ways best known through his autobiography Memories, Dreams, Reflections.
Jung's work has been influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology, and religious studies. He worked as a research scientist at the Burghölzli psychiatric hospital in Zurich, under Eugen Bleuler. Jung established himself as an influential mind, developing a friendship with Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis, conducting a lengthy correspondence paramount to their joint vision of human psychology. Jung is widely regarded as one of the most influential psychologists in history.
Freud saw the younger Jung not only as the heir he had been seeking to take forward his "new science" of psychoanalysis but as a means to legitimize his own work: Freud and other contemporary psychoanalysts were Jews facing rising antisemitism in Europe, and Jung was Christian. Freud secured Jung's appointment as president of Freud's newly founded International Psychoanalytical Association. Jung's research and personal vision, however, made it difficult to follow his older colleague's doctrine, and they parted ways. This division was painful for Jung and resulted in the establishment of Jung's analytical psychology, as a comprehensive system separate from psychoanalysis. Scholar Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi believed that what he claims to be Jung's an This is a list of writings published by Carl Jung. Many of Jung's most important works have been collected, translated, and published in a 20-volume set by Princeton University Press, entitled The Collected Works of C. G. Jung.
