About this ebook
"The Theory of Psychoanalysis" by Carl Gustav Jung, published in 1915, is a scathing condemnation of Freud's theories on sexuality including the Oedipus-complex. This was incredibly embarrassing to Freud for his pupil to so forcefully disagree with him on an international platform, a threat which Freud never had in his academic career. Freud's hegemony in the field of psychology was challenged by this lecture. Jung started to explore the idea of the collective unconscious in this publication – a shared reservoir of experiences and symbols that have universal meanings across cultures. Building on his earlier works like the "Diagnostische Assoziationsstudien," Jung delved deeper into the nature of complexes, describing them as emotionally charged groups of ideas or images.
This edition is a new 2023 edition with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. This manuscript has been updated into modern English spelling.

His concepts of the collective unconscious and archetypes were influential in understanding human psychology. Jung’s theories on personality, including the notions of introversion and extraversion, have left a lasting mark on psychology and psychotherapy to this day.
