In the 1930s C. G. Jung embarked upon a bold investigation into
childhood dreams as remembered by adults to better understand their
significance to the lives of the dreamers. Jung presented his findings
in a four-year seminar series at the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology in Zurich. Children's Dreams marks their first publication
in English, and fills a critical gap in Jung's collected works. Here
we witness Jung the clinician more vividly than ever before--and he is
witty, impatient, sometimes authoritarian, always wise and
intellectually daring, but also a teacher who, though brilliant, could
be vulnerable, uncertain, and humbled by life's great mysteries. These
seminars represent the most penetrating account of Jung's insights
into children's dreams and the psychology of childhood. At the same
time they offer the best example of group supervision by Jung,
presenting his most detailed and thorough exposition of Jungian dream
analysis and providing a picture of how he taught others to interpret
dreams. Presented here in an inspired English translation commissioned
by the Philemon Foundation, these seminars reveal Jung as an
impassioned educator in dialogue with his students and developing the
practice of analytical psychology. An invaluable document of perhaps
the most important psychologist of the twentieth century at work, this
splendid volume is the fullest representation of Jung's views on the
interpretation of children's dreams, and signals a new wave in the
publication of Jung's collected works as well as a renaissance in
contemporary Jung studies.
