Man and His Symbols

Man and His Symbols is C.G. Jung's own last work, written deliberately for a general readership rather than a specialist audience, and completed by his named collaborators, Marie-Louise von Franz, Joseph Henderson, Jolande Jacobi and Aniela Jaffe, after Jung's death. This record holds it at the tier appropriate to a popular introductory work rather than to a technical psychoanalytic text, and cites it narrowly for what it directly states: Jung's own stated objection to fixed dream symbol dictionaries, and his account of the shadow, anima and animus archetypes. Use it for these specific points in Jung's own stated general-audience terms; a claim needing the fuller technical psychoanalytic argument needs Jung's own specialist works addressed directly.
