Theory of Psychoanalysis

This is where the mind's great fracture began. In these 1913 lectures, Carl Jung publicly breaks from his mentor Sigmund Freud, laying out the first systematic articulation of what would become analytical psychology. What unfolds is not merely a critique but a radical reimagining of the unconscious itself. Where Freud saw sexuality at the root of everything, Jung saw mythology, archetype, and a collective darkness that predated the individual. Where Freud mapped repression, Jung mapped the dream's ancient imagery. The result is a text that doesn't just challenge orthodoxy, it founds a new tradition. Jung addresses infantile sexuality, the nature of libido, the architecture of the unconscious, the function of dreams, the mechanics of repression, and the origins of neurosis with the precision of a clinician and the vision of a prophet. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand where modern psychology branched into competing visions of the human soul.
