Books

Memories, Dreams, Reflections – Carl Jung.

Jung’s autobiography; part memoir, part meditation on the inner life. Written towards the end of his life, it offers an intimate account of the experiences and ideas that shaped his thinking. A natural starting point for anyone drawn to Jungian psychology.

The Essential Jung: Selected Writings – Carl Jung (introduction by Anthony Storr)

A carefully chosen selection of Jung’s own writings, introduced and contextualised by the psychiatrist and writer Anthony Storr. An ideal way to encounter Jung’s ideas directly without navigating the breadth of the Collected Works.

Jung’s Map of the Soul – Murray Stein

A clear and authoritative introduction to Jung’s key concepts; the ego, the shadow, the self, and the process of individuation. Accessible without being reductive, this is a reliable guide for anyone wanting a structured overview of analytical psychology before exploring further.
