Thanks Waldo.

I also like Memories, Dreams, Reflections. I too think it is an older person’s book. It’s a good and readable introduction I think – lots of his stuff is hard to get into I find. In the introduction he says he had a dream that basically said this to him.

I think Jung generally is more attractive once we get into our 40′s and beyond. For me the archetypes are great for having a way of talking about the whole person. A real gift for us I think.

I have read cgjung’s books off and on for many years. The one that influenced the pattern of my thinking about married life was ‘The Psychology of The Transference”.
I then looked for others and found in a library;
“Memories Dreams Reflections”- Travel and adventure- An auto-biography and a good introduction to his methods. But not inteesting to anyone Under 40yrs!
