Jung Reader

David Tacey is a Professor in the School of Communication, Arts and Critical Enquiry at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia.

"This book is extremely readable. It makes available a selection of important readings from Jung's original writings, places them in an historical context, as well as bringing them into the present... I would highly recommend this book to training candidates, analysts, and in fact anyone interested in the work of C.G. Jung." - Philippa Colinese, Mantis, 2012
