Description

Originally published in 1981, this study presents Jung�s theory of adult personality development, and analyses and interprets in its biographical and historical context the genesis and development of Jung�s theory of the individuation process. Dr Staude argues that an in-depth study of Jung�s life offers insights into the patterns and processes of adult development, and he focuses particularly on Jung�s writings during and immediately after his mid-life transition. He shows how Jung articulated his hard-won insights into adult development in his books and essays and into his analytic practice, and considers how Jung�s developmental theory relates to the changes he experienced in his own life and in his socio-historical environment. Dr Staude concludes that Jung�s emphasis on impersonal universals of human psychic development complements and supplements the personal emphasis of ego development theory and provides the foundations for a more holistic understanding of adult developmental psychology.Typham this is the title: The Adult Development of C.G.
