Carl Gustav Jung was a controversial disciple of Sigmund Freud. This elegantly written, crisply illustrated guide explains the theories that led Jung to break away from Freud and describes his own near psychotic breakdown in mid-life, a "night-sea voyage" from which he emerged with better insights into the nature of the unconscious mind.

Carl Gustav Jung was the enigmatic and controversial disciple of Sigmund Freud, who supplemented Freud's work with crucial questions about religion and the soul. Explanations are given as to why Jung broke away from Freud and describes his own near-psychotic breakdown in mid-life, from which he emerged with radical new insights into the nature of the unconscious mind. This book demonstrated how Jung explored the psychology of religion, alchemy, astrology, the I Ching and other phenomena rejected by science, in the investigation of his patients' dreams, fantasies and psychic disturbances. - Back Cover

What is astrology? Does it work, and if so how does it work? After the scientific Enlightenment some centuries ago, astrology should have died out. Yet despite howls of incredulity from its critics, this most sophisticated language of the imagination seems here to stay. Geoffrey Cornelius and Maggie Hyde, founding members of England's highly regarded 'Company of Astrologers', provide the reader with a rich and graphic history of astrology from its pre-Greek roots through Renaissance Europe and its revival in the past century, to the most up-to-date research and theories. In addition to the theoretical, this graphic 'study guide' encompasses a hands-on primer of principles and methods of modern astrology. How to read a horoscope, and what to expect from a visit to an astrologer - it's all here.
