A Mythology of Forms

Selected Writings on Art

By: Carl Einstein

The German art historian and critic Carl Einstein (1885-1940) was at the forefront of the modernist movement that defined the twentieth century. One of the most prolific and brilliant early commentators on cubism, he was also among the first authors to assess African sculpture as art. Yet his writings remain relatively little known in the Anglophone world. With A Mythology of Forms, the first representative collection of Einstein’s art theory and criticism to appear in English translation, Charles W. Haxthausen fills this gap. Spanning three decades, it assembles the most important of Einstein’s writings on the art that was central to his critical project—on cubism, surrealism, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Paul Klee, and includes the full texts of his two pathbreaking books on African art, Negro Sculpture (1915) and African Sculpture (1921). With fourteen texts by Einstein, each presented with extensive commentary, A Mythology of Forms will bring a pivotal voice in the history of modern art into English.

On the Psychological Diagnosis of Criminal Offenses

By: Carl Jung

Jung's early 1905 essay "On the psychological diagnosis of criminal offenses" which has sometimes been translated as "On the Psychological Diagnosis of the Facts" (Zur psychologischen Tatbestandsdiagnostik) is a window into the foundations of his Analytic Psychology and Therapeutic approach. This essay was first published in: Centralbl, f. Nervenheilk. u. Psychiat, XXVIN in 1905. This was also published in vol. 11 of Ges, Werke, "Die Studien zur Wortassoziation" published in 1905. This edition is a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. In the essay, Jung explored several cases where individuals, including artists and writers, unknowingly reproduced work they had previously encountered. He argued that the unconscious mind plays a crucial role in these occurrences, with past memories becoming "disguised" as new material due to their retrieval from the depths of the unconscious. This phenomenon has implications for creativity, suggesting that what appears to be spontaneous innovation can, in many cases, be influenced by forgotten memories. Jung's concept of cryptomnesia also ties into his later work on the collective unconscious, where shared human experiences and symbols might be unconsciously "borrowed" and felt as personal inspiration. In essence, cryptomnesia reveals how the boundaries between conscious originality and unconscious recall can blur, impacting creative and intellectual efforts. One of the most famous examples Jung uses is from the case of novelist Helen Keller, who unknowingly replicated the plot of another author's work in one of her own stories. This concept has been influential in fields such as psychology, literature, and copyright law, highlighting the complexities of memory, creativity, and intellectual property

LED Lighting

Devices and Colorimetry

By: Malvin Carl Teich

LED Lighting is a self-contained and introductory-level book featuring a blend of theory and applications that thoroughly covers this important interdisciplinary area. Building on the underlying fields of optics, photonics, and vision science, it comprises four parts. PART I is devoted to fundamentals. The behavior of light is described in terms of rays, waves, and photons. Each of these approaches is best suited to a particular set of applications. The properties of blackbody radiation, thermal light, and incandescent light are derived and explained. The essentials of semiconductor physics are set forth, including the operation of junctions and heterojunctions, quantum wells and quantum dots, and organic and perovskite semiconductors. PART II deals with the generation of light in semiconductors, and details the operation and properties of III-V semiconductor devices (MQWLEDs and μLEDs), quantum-dot devices (QLEDs & WOLEDs), organic semiconductor devices (OLEDs, SMOLEDs, PLEDs, & WOLEDs), and perovskite devices (PeLEDs, PPeLEDs, QPeLEDs, & PeWLEDs). PART III focuses on vision and the perception of color, as well as on colorimetry. It delineates radiometric and photometric quantities as well as efficacy and efficiency measures. It relays the significance of metrics often encountered in LED lighting, including the color rendering index (CRI), color temperature (CT), correlated color temperature (CCT), and chromaticity diagram. PART IV is devoted to LED lighting, focusing on its history and salutary features, and on how this modern form of illumination is deployed. It describes the principal components used in LED lighting, including white phosphor-conversion LEDs, chip-on-board (COB) devices, color-mixing LEDs, hybrid devices, LED filaments, retrofit LED lamps, LED luminaires, and OLED light panels. It concludes with a discussion of smart lighting and connected lighting. Each chapter contains highlighted equations, color-coded figures, practical examples, and reading lists.

Barred

The Shameful Refusal of FDR's State Department to Save Tens of Thousands of Europe's Jews from Extermination

By: Carl L. Steinhouse

I am 81 now and since finishing this, my first effort, ages ago I've been not a little embarrassed since then when asked, what is "BEFORE I FORGET!'' all about? My answer of "Me!" sounds awful but that's it, plus many more intriguing and interesting personalities and situations, thank goodness. My life certainly hasn't reached great prominence, but it's been by no means humdrum either so I feel it, perhaps, worth sharing with others. Suffice to say it is about growing up in Jollye Olde from 1919 to 1936; a terrific year as an Exchange Student at a great prep school in Rhode Island; returning to the UK in '37 and, promptly, starting work as a trainee in a big thread-making company. This, being a disaster, made me join the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve on my 20th birthday, September 13, 1939, (a) to get out of what I was doing and (b) hopefully to become a pilot! An exciting, often scary, but always fascinating war followed for seven years, which included night-fighter squadrons and experimental work; crazy situations; marriage to a girl I met when at school in Newport, and the struggle for normalcy after I was demobilized. We left the UK for the States in 1948 for sundry reasons. Then started a life with never a dull moment! Hairbrush then English car salesman; marmalade-making in our 1780 home in Hamilton, MA; radio and television in the US and in the UK; special events announcer; two children adopted; US citizen; PR Director for the New England Aquarium . . . to name but a few! The book ends with the passing of my late wife, to whom it is dedicated. Book Two of BEFORE I FORGET starts a couple of years later and is still in the works. It will be dedicated, of course, to Annie, my present wife of 33 years.

A Brief Overview of the Complex Theory

By: Carl Jung

A Brief Overview of the Complex Theory

By: Carl Jung

In March of 1911, Jung, Freud and Havelock Ellis were introduced to a Dr. Andrew Davidson, the Secretary of the Section of Psychological Medicine and Neurology, to submit papers to be read at the Congress in Sydney in September 1911. This is a translation of the transcript of that speech. The Complex Theory is one of Carl Jung's fundamental contributions to psychology. This theory revolves around the idea that certain emotionally charged experiences or groups of ideas, which Jung referred to as complexes, can unconsciously influence an individual's behavior, thoughts, and emotions. These complexes often stem from past traumatic or significant experiences, typically in early childhood, that leave a lasting imprint on the psyche. Jung’s complex theory laid the foundation for much of modern depth psychology and psychoanalysis. This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. Jung respects Prince as a capable researcher with significant achievements in psychopathology, particularly in dissociative states, which earned him recognition in both Europe and the United States. Prince applied his analytic method to six dreams of a patient with dissociative identity disorder, utilizing both hypnosis and free association. While Prince acknowledged Freud's genius in uncovering that dreams are not random, but instead have an underlying logical structure, Prince disputed Freud's theory that dreams universally represent wish-fulfillment. In some cases, Prince found that dreams expressed fears or frustrations rather than the fulfillment of desires. Jung, however, points out a fundamental flaw in Prince's analysis. According to Jung, Prince confused the manifest content of the dreams with their latent content. While Prince viewed some dreams as reflecting fears, Jung insisted that even these could be interpreted as wish-fulfillment, particularly through the lens of Freudian dream interpretation. For example, Jung argued that a dream where the patient is attacked or in distress might reflect a deeper unconscious desire for attention or care, a need fulfilled by the dream despite its seemingly negative content.

Collected Papers Of Carl Wieman

By: Carl E Wieman

Carl Wieman's contributions have had a major impact on defining the field of atomic physics as it exists today. His ground-breaking research has included precision laser spectroscopy; using lasers and atoms to provide important table-top tests of theories of elementary particle physics; the development of techniques to cool and trap atoms using laser light, particularly in inventing much simpler, less expensive ways to do this; the understanding of how atoms interact with one another and light at ultracold temperatures; and the creation of the first Bose-Einstein condensation in a dilute gas, and the study of the properties of this condensate. In recent years, he has also turned his attention to physics education and new methods and research in that area. This indispensable volume presents his collected papers, with annotations from the author, tracing his fascinating research path and providing valuable insight about the significance of the works.

On the Problem of Psychogenesis in Mental Illnesses

By: Carl Jung

This manuscript is a new translation from the German version of a Lecture delivered by Carl Jung in the Section of Psychiatry at the Royal Society of Medicine on 11 July 1911 in London. The original title of the German version is "Über das Problem der Psychogenese bei Geisteskrankheiten" This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. Jung discusses the often overlooked psychological aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, emphasising the importance of considering psychogenic factors alongside physical causes. The author highlights the historical shift in psychiatry towards a scientific approach, which often leads to a focus on physical aetiology at the expense of psychological understanding. This bias is illustrated by a case study of a misdiagnosed woman in whom psychological factors were ignored. The article argues that many mental illnesses, particularly those that fall under the umbrella of dementia praecox, are not purely organic and have significant psychological components. The author argues that many psychiatric and neurological professionals lack adequate training in psychology, leading to an underestimation of the role of psychological factors in mental illness. The article also discusses the importance of detailed patient histories and psychological analysis in understanding and treating mental disorders, and uses several case studies to illustrate the profound impact of psychological factors on mental health conditions. The author argues for a more balanced approach to psychiatry, integrating both physical and psychological perspectives.

Religion as Art Form

By: Carl L. Jech

Description: If you find books such as Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion compelling but your faith heritage is also important to you, this book shows how you can affirm both. Taking a cue from Marcus Borg's contention that ""scriptural literalism"" is for many people a major impediment to authentic spirituality, Carl Jech describes how all religion can and should be much more explicit about its symbolic, metaphorical, and artistic nature. With a particular focus on mortality and the relationship of humans to eternity, the book affirms a postmodern understanding of ""God"" as ultimate eternal Mystery and of spirituality as an artistic, (w)holistic, visionary, and creative process of becoming at home in the universe as it really is with all its joys and sorrows. Religion as Art Form is a must-read for those who think of themselves as spiritual but not religious. Endorsements: ""If you're looking for a way to make sense of your life and your world, but you don't get much (or any) satisfaction from slick, glib, outdated, unworkable, arrogant, or cocksure religious 'answers, ' this is your book. If you're looking for trustworthy answers that don't demean, insult, or ridicule, this book is a good place to start. . . . By the time you finish this book, you'll find there are no supernatural, sacred cows left in the corral. What you will find is a new way of thinking about language and life."" --Michael Luther Sherer, editor emeritus of the MetroLutheran ""Critical issues central to the purpose of religion are woven in an intricate tapestry that utilizes every conceivable strand of expressive art available to elucidate the topics addressed. The style of writing itself is reflective of an art form, as ideas flood each page in a stream of consciousness, expressive of the dynamic, progressive posture that permeates each page. Readers seeking an alternative approach for expressing and experiencing their spirituality will find this book scintillating and stimulating."" --Robert H. Albers, Distinguished Visiting Professor of Pastoral Theology, United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities ""Separating God from the sterile options between theism and atheism and seeing God as a verb to be lived, not a noun to be believed, are the themes of this book. Religion as Art Form is both groundbreaking and riveting."" --John Shelby Spong, author of The Fourth Gospel About the Contributor(s): Carl L. Jech (ThM, Harvard) is Instructor in Humanities at DeAnza College in Silicon Valley. He has served as parish pastor and college chaplain in Michigan, Wisconsin, and California, and has taught at other colleges in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Classical Theory of Fields

Electromagnetism

By: Carl S. Helrich

The study of classical electromagnetic fields is an adventure. The theory is complete mathematically and we are able to present it as an example of classical Newtonian experimental and mathematical philosophy. There is a set of foundational experiments, on which most of the theory is constructed. And then there is the bold theoretical proposal of a field-field interaction from James Clerk Maxwell. This textbook presents the theory of classical fields as a mathematical structure based solidly on laboratory experiments. Here the student is introduced to the beauty of classical field theory as a gem of theoretical physics. To keep the discussion fluid, the history is placed in a beginning chapter and some of the mathematical proofs in the appendices. Chapters on Green’s Functions and Laplace’s Equation and a discussion of Faraday’s Experiment further deepen the understanding. The chapter on Einstein’s relativity is an integral necessity to the text. Finally, chapters on particle motion and waves in a dispersive medium complete the picture. High quality diagrams and detailed end-of-chapter questions enhance the learning experience.

General Aspects of Psychoanalysis

By: Carl Jung

This manuscript was originally a Lecture given in English by Carl Jung at the Psycho-Medical August 1913, first published under the title "the Psycho-Medical Society" (Cockermouth 1913) in the journal of Analytical Psychology. This manuscript is a new translation from the unpublished German manuscript, which is more detailed than the simplified English lecture. The original German manuscript is titled "General Aspects of Psychoanalysis" and was written in 1913. This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. In this work, Jung provides a broader framework for psychoanalysis by integrating his emerging ideas on the unconscious with his critique of Freud’s sexual theory. He discusses psychoanalysis beyond Freud’s original scope, offering an expanded view of the unconscious that includes not only personal experiences but also inherited, collective aspects. Jung also explores the therapeutic applications of these ideas, advocating for an approach that accounts for the whole psyche, not just repressed sexuality. This piece signals Jung’s increasing divergence from Freudian orthodoxy. Carl Jung addresses here the philosophical and methodological foundations of psychoanalysis. Jung criticizes the prevailing tendencies of the time to reduce psychoanalysis to a mechanistic procedure, neglecting the profound psychological complexities of the human unconscious. He positions psychoanalysis not only as a science, but as a discipline that bridges psychology and philosophical inquiry, especially in understanding the unconscious. Jung criticizes the simplistic view that psychoanalysis is merely an "extended anamnesis," an extended recollection of conscious memories and events. Instead, he asserts that psychoanalysis deals with unconscious psychological determinants and involves a far more complex process of uncovering deeper layers of the psyche. This is achieved through the analysis of seemingly random or coincidental material, where unconscious patterns can emerge. He further explores the reluctance of the scientific and medical communities to embrace psychoanalysis, attributing this reluctance largely to its association with sexuality due to Freud's emphasis, lamenting that many scientists have dismissed psychoanalysis because of its focus on the sexual aspects of the unconscious, while failing to grasp the broader implications of Freud's findings for understanding human behavior.

On the Behavior of Reaction Time in Association Experiments

By: Carl Jung

Jung's early 1906 work "On the Behavior of Reaction Time in Association Experiments" (original German "Psychoanalyse und Assoziationsexperiment") was published in the Journal "Diagnostic Association Studies" in 1904. Here a young Jung, while working at the Bürghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich, explores concepts such as the Word Association Test, Identification of Complexes, the Nature of Complexes and Psychotherapeutic implications of these concepts. This edition is a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. This essay was published in the Scientific Psychology Journal "Diagnostische Assoziationsstudien" (Diagnostic Association Studies) and it represents one of his earlier forays into experimental psychology. The publication, co-authored with Franz Riklin, aimed to investigate and understand the unconscious processes affecting an individual's conscious responses to stimuli. It marked an important phase in Jung's exploration of the unconscious mind. Through word association tests, he identified the presence of emotionally charged complexes that affect conscious thought, laying the groundwork for many of his later theories. Here we see Jung fully under the influence of Frued's 1901 work "The Psychopathology of Everyday Life".

A Contribution to the Knowledge of the Number Dream

By: Carl Jung

Jung's early article "A Contribution to the Knowledge of the Number Dream" (original German title "Ein Beitrag zur Kenntnis des Zahlentraumes") is a commentary on Numberology in relation to Frued's dream theories. This was published in "Zentralblatt für Psychoanalyse" in Wiesbaden in 1910. This was one of 8 articles he contributed to this magazine defending the scientific nature of Psychology. This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. Jung argues that number dreams can reveal underlying psychic structures, often pointing toward an individual’s unconscious thoughts and feelings. These numbers are not only a reflection of the personal unconscious but also play a significant role in representing archetypal themes, such as unity, duality, or completeness, depending on the numbers appearing in the dream. The number "three," for example, might symbolize the process of individuation or a developmental stage in the psyche’s evolution toward self-awareness. In his analysis, Jung draws from various cultural and historical sources, illustrating that numbers have held profound symbolic meaning across different civilizations. This essay demonstrates Jung's early interest in the symbolic language of the unconscious and how it communicates through seemingly mundane elements, such as numbers. By emphasizing the importance of numerology in dream analysis, Jung expanded the analytical psychology toolkit, suggesting that symbols like numbers could be valuable in understanding the unconscious mind's messages. Additionally, Jung links this concept to his broader work on synchronicity and the idea that certain events or symbols, such as specific numbers appearing in dreams or real life, are not merely coincidences but rather meaningful, acausal connections.

A Case of Hysterical Stupor in a Prisoner on Remand

By: Carl Jung

Jung presents a case study of a female prisoner experiencing hysterical stupor, offering insights into the understanding of hysteria and its presentation under the conditions of incarceration. Jung's analysis was groundbreaking for its focus on how environmental factors, like the stress of imprisonment, might trigger or exacerbate hysterical symptoms. By exploring the psychological effects of incarceration, Jung began to shape the discourse around the causes of mental illness, focusing less on inherent defects in the individual and more on their surroundings and experiences. This case study was also one of his early explorations into how trauma and emotional repression might manifest as physical symptoms, which would later form part of his broader psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic theories. It represents an early contribution to what would later evolve into his theory of complexes and the collective unconscious. This case is an important step in Jung’s clinical career, as it illustrates his growing interest in the deeper, unconscious factors influencing mental health. His investigation also touches on the legal and ethical questions surrounding mental illness in incarcerated individuals, making it an early forensic psychiatric case. This is a new translation into American English of Jung's early 1902 "Ein Fall von hysterischem Stupor bei einer Untersuchungsgefangenen". This edition contains a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works.

On Psychoanalysis -Letter to the Editor of Neue Zürcher Zeitung

By: Carl Jung

Carl Jung's 1912 On Psychoanalysis is a critical early work where he defends the metaphyschological principles of Psychology. This was first published in the magazine "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" under the title "Zur Psychoanalyse". Here Jung defends the basic tenants of Freudian psychoanalysis against criticisms of perversity, arguing that neither he nor Freud advocates for acting out sexual desires. This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. This is one of Jung's early defenses of psychoanalysis, published in the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung. In this letter, Jung addresses criticisms against psychoanalysis, especially its focus on sexual development and the unconscious. While still aligned with Freud at the time, Jung emphasizes the scientific basis of psychoanalytic methods and argues for their relevance in both clinical and academic settings. Jung uses this public forum to highlight the importance of psychoanalysis in understanding deeper psychological conflicts, aiming to broaden its acceptance beyond the psychiatric community. This text was crucial in promoting psychoanalysis in Switzerland and beyond.

This is a critical article written but Jung in 1911 on an article which criticized his theories, titled "Morton Prince M.D.:The Mechanism and Interpretation of Dreams: A Critical Review" The original manuscript of this article was published in "Jahrbuch für psychoanalytische und psychopathologische Forchungen" in Wien and Leipzig in 1911. The article that Jung is criticizing was published in English in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology (Boston 1910). Here Jung extensively responds to criticism of Psychoanalytical theory, and quotes from Morton Prince in English extensively. Jung also talks about Professor Hoche in Freiburg who described Freud and his school as "afflicted by epidemic madness" and wrote a famous article about it. Jung respects Prince as a capable researcher with significant achievements in psychopathology, particularly in dissociative states, which have earned him recognition in both Europe and the United States. Prince applied his analytical method to six dreams of a patient with dissociative identity disorder, using both hypnosis and free association. While acknowledging Freud's genius in revealing that dreams are not random but have an underlying logical structure, Prince disputed Freud's theory that dreams universally represent wish fulfillment. In some cases, Prince found that dreams expressed fears or frustrations rather than the fulfillment of desires. Jung, however, points out a fundamental flaw in Prince's analysis. According to Jung, Prince confused the manifest content of dreams with their latent content. While Prince saw some dreams as reflecting fears, Jung insisted that even these could be interpreted as wish fulfillment, especially through the lens of Freudian dream interpretation. For example, Jung argued that a dream in which the patient is assaulted or in distress may reflect a deeper unconscious need for attention or care, a need that the dream fulfills despite its seemingly negative content. This Reader's Edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works.

Psychoanalysis and the Association Experiment

By: Carl Jung

Jung's early essay "Psychoanalysis and association experiment" (Psychoanalyse und Assoziationsexperiment) was published in the Journal "Diagnostic Association Studies" in 1904. Here a young Jung, while working at the Bürghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich, explores concepts such as the Word Association Test, Identification of Complexes, the Nature of Complexes and Psychotherapeutic implications of these concepts. This edition is a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. This essay was published in the Scientific Psychology Journal "Diagnostische Assoziationsstudien" (Diagnostic Association Studies) and it represents one of his earlier forays into experimental psychology. The publication, co-authored with Franz Riklin, aimed to investigate and understand the unconscious processes affecting an individual's conscious responses to stimuli. It marked an important phase in Jung's exploration of the unconscious mind. Through word association tests, he identified the presence of emotionally charged complexes that affect conscious thought, laying the groundwork for many of his later theories. Here we see Jung fully under the influence of Frued's 1901 work "The Psychopathology of Everyday Life". In Psychoanalysis and the Association Experiment (Psychoanalyse und Assoziationsexperiment), published in 1904, Carl Jung explores the application of the word association test within psychoanalysis. This early study marked a significant development in Jung’s contributions to experimental psychology and laid the groundwork for his later theories on the unconscious and psychological complexes. The word association experiment involved presenting subjects with a series of stimulus words and recording their immediate responses. By analyzing the latency (reaction time) and the emotional intensity of the responses, Jung believed that underlying, emotionally charged complexes could be revealed. These complexes, according to Jung, were clusters of repressed emotions and thoughts buried in the unconscious, often linked to unresolved conflicts from earlier life experiences. In this study, Jung examined the nature of these complexes and their effect on both conscious and unconscious behavior. The experiment demonstrated that certain words triggered longer reaction times or unusual responses, signaling that the subject had an emotional conflict tied to that word. This method allowed for indirect access to the subject’s unconscious, a revolutionary approach at the time that differed from Freud’s focus on dream analysis or free association. Jung’s use of the association test not only deepened the understanding of individual psychological dynamics but also contributed to the early foundations of personality theory.

The Freudian Theory of Hysteria

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Freudian Theory of Hysteria

By: Carl Jung

This is a lecture given by Carl Jung at the First International Congress of Psychiatry and Neurology, Amsterdam, September 1907. It was first published a year later in Monatsschrift für Psychiatrie und Neurologie in Berlin in 1908. This edition is a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. In this lecture, Jung attacks Freud's theories around Hysteria and sexuality, especially his theories of developmental sexuality. This was one of the works that led to Freud's break from Jung. Hysteria, traditionally thought to have physical origins or to be caused by neurological damage, was reinterpreted by Freud and Jung as a disorder rooted in unresolved unconscious emotional conflicts, particularly of a sexual nature. Freud's theory proposed that these repressed desires or traumatic experiences, particularly those from childhood, manifested in somatic symptoms, such as paralysis, blindness, or other dramatic physical disturbances without any underlying medical cause. Jung, at this time closely allied with Freud, reinforced this psychodynamic understanding of hysteria, emphasizing the psychological rather than purely physiological basis for the disorder. Jung’s defense of Freud’s theory involved a critique of contemporary psychiatric methods that leaned too heavily on hereditary or physical explanations for hysteria. He argued that the emotional and unconscious life of the patient was of paramount importance, asserting that hysterical symptoms are expressions of inner psychic struggles. This essay marked an early phase in Jung’s career, during which he largely accepted Freud’s focus on sexuality as central to the origins of neurotic disorders. In this response, Jung methodically counters Aschaffenburg’s skepticism by presenting case studies and psychoanalytic evidence supporting Freud’s theory. His argument underscores the revolutionary nature of psychoanalysis at the time, as it shifted the medical field’s understanding of mental illness from the body to the mind. Though this essay illustrates Jung’s strong alignment with Freud’s ideas, it also foreshadows his eventual departure from Freud’s emphasis on sexuality, as Jung would later expand his theory of the unconscious to include broader psychic and archetypal forces.

Expert Opinion on Two Contradictory Psychiatric Reports

By: Carl Jung

Jung's early 1906 work "Expert Opinion on Two Contradictory Psychiatric Reports" (original German: Obergutachten über zwei widersprechende psychiatrische Gutachten" is a window into Jung's clinical work and the development of his therapeutic method. This edition is a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. Jung's article discusses two cases involving conflicting psychiatric reports. In both cases, the individuals were accused of fraudulent activities and the question of their mental state was investigated. The first case (referred to as Case A) involves a woman who allegedly defrauded two people by claiming to have won a lottery prize. The second case (referred to as Case B) involves a woman who also defrauded someone using a similar lottery-related scheme. The article presents the results of psychiatric assessments in both cases. In Case A, the assessment suggests that the individual shows signs of hysteria and a pathological belief in the existence of a person named Baumann who was central to her fraudulent activities. The assessment concludes that the person's moral deficiency, combined with hysteria, led to a diminished responsibility. However, it acknowledges that the assessment is based on limited information and that there may be uncertainties about the belief in Baumann. In Case B, the assessment suggests that the individual is morally deficient and hysterical. It argues that the fraudulent actions are primarily the result of her moral failings rather than hysteria. The assessment also highlights the individual's manipulative and persuasive skills, which are often associated with hysteria. It concludes that the individual's actions are driven by moral issues rather than hysteria. Jung raises questions about the relationship between moral deficiency and hysteria in these cases and highlights the need for reform in the legal system, suggesting that society should find ways to protect itself from individuals with diminished responsibility, rather than relying on psychiatric institutions to deal with the consequences of a flawed legal system. Jung’s contribution to this case is notable for his application of psychoanalytic concepts to forensic evaluation. He scrutinizes the methodology and conclusions of the two reports, assessing the psychological diagnoses and the validity of the tests and methods used by his colleagues. His expert opinion highlights the inherent difficulties in determining criminal responsibility when mental illness is involved, particularly in cases where simulation or malingering might obscure the truth. One of the reports suggests that the defendant's actions were driven by psychopathy and moral deficiency, whereas the opposing report attributes the behavior to hysteria and diminished responsibility. Jung provides a nuanced analysis of both reports, suggesting that the defendants' psychological conditions might not fit neatly into one diagnosis. He emphasizes the importance of considering both conscious and unconscious factors, as well as the broader context of the individual's psychological history, in reaching a more comprehensive diagnosis. Jung’s work here contributed to the development of forensic psychiatry by advocating for more rigorous psychological assessments in criminal cases. He argued for a deeper exploration of the unconscious motives and moral conflicts behind criminal behavior, moving beyond surface-level psychiatric evaluations.

On the Manic Mood

By: Carl Jung

On the Manic Mood is an early clinical case study of Jung (Original German title: Über hysterisches Verlesen). This edition contains a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. Here, Jung explores the mood disturbances characteristic of manic states, contributing to the early understanding of bipolar disorder, which was then often referred to as manic depression. He presents a comprehensive study of the clinical manifestation of what the author describes as "manic mood," a condition associated with psychopathic inferiority and characterized by submanic symptoms that often date back to adolescence. The text outlines several case studies, detailing the patients' hereditary factors, early life, and course of illness. Key symptoms identified include emotional instability, flight of ideas, distractibility, excessive busyness, and a cheerful mood, often mixed with other psychopathic traits. This essay dives into the nuances of hypomanic states, where patients experience heightened mental activity and emotional fluctuations without crossing into psychosis. Jung observes the correlation between early childhood trauma and the development of these submanic symptoms, noting how certain hereditary factors contribute to a psychopathic inferiority complex. His work emphasizes the spectrum nature of mood disorders, helping early researchers distinguish between mania and hypomania.

Contemporary Psychotherapeutic Questions: An exchange of letters between C. G. Jung and R. Loy.

By: Carl Jung

This work is an exchange of letters between Jung and Dr. R. Loy, the doctor in charge of the sanatorium L'Abri in Montreux-Territet. This exchange was first published by Franz Deuticke Verlag, Leipzig and Vienna in 1914, and printed by Dr. Loy himself, who included a forward. This exchange of letters between Carl Jung and Dr. R. Loy, a prominent psychiatrist, captures a rich dialogue on the role of psychoanalysis in therapy. In this correspondence, Jung critiques traditional suggestive therapy and hypnosis, advocating for a more exploratory approach that encourages the patient to confront their unconscious conflicts directly. Jung’s letters express his belief that therapy should not merely aim to suppress symptoms but to facilitate deeper psychological development and individuation. These letters reveal Jung's philosophical views on the therapeutic process and mark his distancing from Freud's methods. This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. A beautiful example of the debates within the budding 20tth-century field of Psychology, Dr. Loy and Dr. Jung discuss various aspects of psychoanalysis, the role of the therapist and the nature of psychological healing. Dr Loy, who practised suggestive therapy and later studied Freudian psychoanalysis, expresses scepticism about some of Freud's interpretations, particularly the universal symbolism of dreams and their exclusively sexual connotations. Jung responds by acknowledging the value of various psychotherapeutic methods, including suggestive therapy, while stressing the importance of understanding the moral conflicts behind neurotic fantasies. He criticises the cathartic method and expresses doubts about the therapeutic value of reliving traumatic events, which he sees as often fantastical or exaggerated. Both discuss the role of the therapist's personality in the healing process and the importance of the patient's trust in the therapist. Jung criticises the use of hypnosis and suggestive methods, preferring direct engagement with the patient's psyche. He argues for a psychoanalytic approach that seeks to understand underlying moral conflicts and encourages the patient's self-discovery and personal growth. Loy's research explores the practical application of psychoanalysis, the challenge of conflicting literature in the field, and the potential influence of the therapist's suggestions on the patient's psyche. Jung emphasises the importance of the analyst's neutrality and the need for the patient to find his or her own path to healing, arguing against any form of suggestion that would impose the therapist's beliefs or goals on the patient.

Freud's Theory of Hysteria: A reply to the Aschaffenburg critique

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Freud's Theory of Hysteria: A reply to the Aschaffenburg critique

By: Carl Jung

In 1906, Carl Jung published "Freud's Theory of Hysteria. A Reply to the Aschaffenburg Critique" (Die Hysterielehre Freuds. Eine Erwiderung auf die Aschaffenburgsche Kritik), which represents one of his early defenses of Freud’s psychoanalytic theories, particularly concerning the origins and nature of hysteria. This essay was written in response to a critique by Gustav Aschaffenburg, a well-known German psychiatrist who challenged Freud’s theory, particularly its emphasis on the sexual etiology of hysteria. Aschaffenburg argued that Freud's views were overly focused on sexual factors and failed to adequately consider other potential causes, such as hereditary or environmental factors. In his reply, Jung supports Freud’s theory that repressed sexual trauma and desires were central to the development of hysterical symptoms. Jung defended Freud’s notion that hysteria is linked to unresolved psychosexual conflicts, particularly those emerging from early childhood. At this stage in his career, Jung was still closely aligned with Freud’s thinking, and his defense highlights his deep involvement with psychoanalysis prior to his later theoretical divergences from Freud. Jung’s argument in this essay not only emphasizes the importance of psychoanalytic theory but also showcases his willingness to engage critically with contemporary psychiatry. He methodically addresses Aschaffenburg’s critiques, arguing that Freud’s theory offers the most coherent explanation for the wide variety of symptoms exhibited by hysterical patients. In doing so, Jung also touches on broader psychoanalytic themes, such as the unconscious mind and repression, setting the stage for his later developments in the field. A new translation of Jung's initial criticisms of Freud's theories printed in 1906 and originally titled "Die Hysterielehre Freuds. Eine Erwiderung auf die Aschaffenburgsche Kritik" and was first printed in the "Münchner medizinische Wochenschrift" in München 1906. This is an early detailed critique and discussion of Freud's theory on hysteria, specifically addressing Aschaffenburg's critique of this theory. The text delves into various aspects of Freud's ideas, including the role of sexuality in the development of psychoneuroses and the validity of Freud's psychological theories related to dreams, wit, and disturbances in everyday thinking. This edition is a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works.

Psychological Types

Psychological Types

By: Carl Jung

In Psychological Types (1921), Carl Jung presents a framework for understanding individual differences in personality by identifying two basic attitudes: extraversion and introversion. Extraverts are outward-focused, gaining energy from their interactions with the external world, while introverts are inward-focused, deriving energy from their inner thoughts and feelings. Jung emphasizes that while most people tend to favor one attitude, both exist in the psyche and can be accessed as needed. This dynamic shapes how individuals engage with the world and their surroundings. In addition to these attitudes, Jung introduces four psychological functions that define how individuals process information and make decisions. These functions are divided into two categories: rational and irrational. The rational functions include thinking, which is logical and objective, and feeling, which evaluates based on personal values and subjective experience. The irrational functions are sensation, which relies on perceiving concrete reality, and intuition, which involves perceiving possibilities and abstract connections. Each individual tends to favor one of these functions, further influencing their personality type. Jung’s typology leads to the creation of eight primary personality types based on combinations of attitudes (introversion/extraversion) and dominant functions (thinking, feeling, sensation, intuition). For example, an introverted thinking type primarily processes the world through internal logic, while an extraverted feeling type engages with the world based on emotional and social values. Here in his famous 1921 Psychological Types (Psychologische Typen) Jung elaborates on the differences in fundamental psychological orientations among individuals. According to Jung, these orientations define how individuals perceive the world and make decisions. The core of this theory revolves around two Kantian Antinomies: Attitude and Function types. One of Jung’s most important works, Psychological Types introduces the distinction between introversion and extroversion as fundamental orientations of human personality. Jung also elaborates on the four psychological functions—thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition—each of which can be dominant in an individual’s personality. This book was essential in the development of personality theory and has had a lasting influence on psychology, particularly through the development of personality tests like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Jung’s typology provides a framework for understanding the diversity of human behavior and cognition, emphasizing that psychological health comes from balancing and integrating these different functions and attitudes. This edition contains a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works.

On the Significance of the Unconscious in Psychopathology

By: Carl Jung

This early 1914 lecture by Jung (originally titled "Über die Bedeutung des Unbewußten in der Psychopathologie") is one of his first commentaries on the practical usage of the concept of the Collective Unconscious. This lecture was given in the Section for Neurology and Psychological Medicine at the Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association, July 1914 in Aberdeen. It was first published in: British Medical Journal II (London 1914) pp. This manuscript is a new translation on the German version of the lecture. This lecture, presented to the British Medical Association, explores the role of the unconscious in the development of psychopathology. Jung argues that unconscious processes often manifest as compensatory mechanisms when the conscious mind is out of balance, leading to psychological disorders. He stresses the importance of integrating unconscious content into consciousness to achieve psychological health, which can prevent the development of mental illness. This lecture further develops his ideas on how unconscious factors, including repressed complexes, play a central role in mental health issues like neurosis and psychosis. This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. Jung explores the concept of the unconscious, particularly its role in psychological disorders. It distinguishes between physiological and psychological unconsciousness, focusing on the latter as the sum of mental processes that are not consciously perceived. The unconscious contains weaker psychic processes that don't cross the threshold of consciousness and often manifest themselves subliminally. The article explores the idea that consciousness is formed from simpler, unconscious elements, and that unconscious content can compensate for conscious attitudes. Examples are given of how unconscious aspects can counterbalance conscious thoughts and actions in both normal and abnormal psychological states. In mental disorders, the unconscious often intrudes into consciousness in distorted forms due to pre-existing resistance, resulting in symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions. These intrusions are seen as failed attempts to compensate for biased conscious attitudes. The play highlights the importance of understanding the unconscious in psychopathology, emphasising its role in compensating and balancing conscious content, and the implications this has for the manifestation of mental disorders.

On the Psychology of the Unconscious

By: Carl Jung

On the Psychology of the Unconscious (Über die Psychologie des Unbewußten) is a critical work documenting Jung's divergence from Freud. Published in 1912 in German, this translation brings his earliest thoughts on the nature of the Unconscious to the modern reader. This is one of Jung’s pivotal works, marking a turning point in his relationship with Freud. Here, Jung introduces the concept of the collective unconscious, differentiating his views from Freud’s personal unconscious theory. Jung critiques Freud’s narrow focus on sexuality, proposing that the unconscious is not merely a repository of repressed desires but also a storehouse of universal, archetypal symbols shared across humanity. This essay laid the foundation for Jung’s analytical psychology, which emphasizes the role of symbolic and archetypal imagery in understanding the human psyche. In this treatise Jung introduced the concept of the personal and collective unconscious, the latter being a reservoir of universal memories, patterns and symbols shared by all human beings. He also began to explore the role of symbols in mediating between the conscious and unconscious realms, and shifted the understanding of libido from Freud's primarily sexual energy perspective to a broader life force. Although the fully developed concept of archetypes would come later, Jung touched on these primordial, universally recognized symbols that reside in the collective unconscious. This essay, with its emphasis on both individual and shared unconscious content, marked a significant departure from Freud's theories and heralded the basic concepts that would later become central to Jung's analytical psychology. This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works.

On the Simulation of Mental Disorders

By: Carl Jung

On the Simulation (faking) of Mental disorders (original German: Über Simulation von Geistesstörung) is an early 1903 essay by Jung on the challenges of diagnosing mental conditions when the patient is confused themselves. Jung addresses the intentional feigning or simulation of mental disorders. He examines the challenges of differentiating between genuine mental illness and simulation, particularly in legal and clinical settings. Jung notes that while many simulators are not mentally normal, they often have traits of degeneracy or hysteria. These traits can complicate the diagnosis, as hysterical individuals may exhibit behaviors that mimic genuine mental disorders. The document highlights the challenges faced by psychiatrists in differentiating between real and feigned symptoms, stressing the lack of an infallible method to unmask simulators. This edition contains a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. In this important forensic work, Jung grapples with the complex issue of malingering, where individuals consciously or unconsciously fabricate mental illness symptoms. He focuses on the legal and psychiatric implications of simulated insanity, stressing how difficult it is to separate true mental illness from deception, especially when hysteria or degenerative traits are involved. Jung underscores how feigned symptoms often emerge in patients with existing psychological disturbances, complicating the clinician’s ability to make definitive diagnoses. This work had profound implications in the field of legal psychiatry, as it highlighted the importance of careful psychological evaluation in court cases. Jung’s approach contributed significantly to developing more sophisticated methods of psychiatric assessments within the legal system

Laws and Models

Science, Engineering, and Technology

By: Carl W. Hall

The "laws" that govern our physical universe come in many guises-as principles, theorems, canons, equations, axioms, models, and so forth. They may be empirical, statistical, or theoretical, their names may reflect the person who first expressed them, the person who publicized them, or they might simply describe a phenomenon. However they may be named, the discovery and application of physical laws have formed the backbone of the sciences for 3,000 years. They exist by thousands. Laws and Models: Science, Engineering, and Technology-the fruit of almost 40 years of collection and research-compiles more than 1,200 of the laws and models most frequently encountered and used by engineers and technologists. The result is a collection as fascinating as it is useful. Each entry consists of a statement of the law or model, its date of origin, a one-line biography of the people involved in its formulation, sources of information about the law, and cross-references. Illustrated and highly readable, this book offers a unique presentation of the vast and rich collection of laws that rule our universe. Everyone with an interest in the inner workings of nature-from engineers to students, from teachers to journalists-will find Laws and Models to be not only a handy reference, but an engaging volume to read and browse.

The Content of the Psychosis

By: Carl Jung

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Content of the Psychosis

By: Carl Jung

The Content of the Psychosis (Der Inhalt der Psychose) is a 1908 essay where Jung continued his exploration into the realm of psychosis, building upon his earlier studies, including his investigations into dementia praecox (what is now known as schizophrenia). In this essay, he explores Nature of Psychosis, Comparison with Personal Experiences and an early model of the Collective Unconscious, an idea which he developed from Schopenhauer's understanding of the subconscious. Jung attempted to explore and understand the underlying psychic content that surfaces during psychotic episodes. He was keenly interested in the images, symbols, and narratives that emerged during these periods. Jung posited that the manifestations of psychosis were not merely random or nonsensical, but they had roots in the individual's personal experiences and the deeper collective unconscious. Even though the term "collective unconscious" and its detailed exploration would come later in Jung's career, the foundational ideas can be traced back to works like this. Jung observed recurrent motifs and symbols in the psychotic content of different individuals, suggesting a shared or collective psychic substrate. Building on his complex theory, where he begins to diverge from Freudian Orthodoxy, Jung explored how certain complexes might play a role in the development or manifestation of psychotic episodes. This edition is a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. Jung suggests that psychotic symptoms are not merely random or meaningless but are deeply embedded in the personal unconscious and, to some extent, the collective unconscious. This idea reflects his early divergence from Freudian psychoanalysis, as he began to emphasize the symbolic and collective aspects of unconscious life rather than focusing exclusively on personal childhood experiences or sexual repression. In "The Content of the Psychosis," Jung highlights the importance of examining the content and nature of the hallucinations, delusions, and symbolic patterns that emerge during psychotic episodes, suggesting that they have roots in the patient's psychological and emotional life. Jung's theory that psychotic experiences can contain meaningful psychic content was groundbreaking because it proposed that the fragmentation of consciousness in psychosis could provide insights into both the individual psyche and the collective human experience. He observed that certain recurring symbols and themes in psychotic content often reflected universal archetypes—symbols that resonate across different cultures and histories—thus paving the way for his later development of the theory of the collective unconscious.

On the Conflicts of the Child's Soul

On the Conflicts of the Child's Soul

By: Carl Jung

On the Conflicts of the Child's Soul (original title "Über Konflikte der kindlichen Seele") was first published inside the Jahrbuch fur psychoanalytische und psychopathologische foschungen which included essays by Bleuler and Freud. It illustrates his further departure from the Freudian school of thought and his exploration into the deeper and broader aspects of the human psyche. Jung believed that children naturally gravitate towards certain symbols and myths as part of their psychological development, a perspective he would elaborate on more in his later works on the collective unconscious and archetypes. Unlike Freud, who emphasized childhood experiences and especially early sexual experiences as the dominant forces shaping the personality, Jung introduced the notion that children also possess innate ideas – precursors to his later, more refined concept of archetypes. He suggests that these are universally present and influence the child's experience of the world. This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. Jung's interest in child psychology primarily stems from his broader focus on individuation—the process by which a person becomes differentiated from their unconscious and integrates their personality into a cohesive whole. In addressing childhood conflicts, Jung would likely emphasize the role of archetypal influences and the developmental impact of the early family environment. He suggests that early experiences shape the unconscious, and unresolved conflicts from this period manifest in adult life through neuroses. Jung also highlights the child's inner world, where external events (e.g., parental conflicts or social pressures) are internalized, leading to psychological struggles between different aspects of the self, such as between the ego and the unconscious. This mirrors the theoretical framework outlined in his other works where he explores the dynamics between consciousness and the unconscious. In Beitrage zur Symbolik des Selbst, for instance, Jung discusses how the self is not just the conscious "I" (the ego) but a larger whole that includes unconscious elements. The development of the child's ego, and its eventual integration with the unconscious, would be a process fraught with these early conflicts. In this essay, Jung explores the psychological conflicts experienced by children, challenging the idea that only adults face significant psychological dilemmas. He argues that children are deeply affected by their emotional environments, particularly through their relationships with their parents. Jung suggests that these early conflicts can have a lasting impact on the child's development and may lead to psychological issues later in life. This work is important for its contribution to developmental psychology and for laying the groundwork for understanding the impact of childhood experiences on the formation of complexes.

The Theory of Psychoanalysis

By: Carl Jung

The Theory of Psychoanalysis" by Carl Gustav Jung, published in 1915, is a scathing condemnation of Freud's theories on sexuality including the Oedipus-complex. This was incredibly embarrassing to Freud for his pupil to so forcefully disagree with him on an international platform, a threat which Freud never had in his academic career. Freud's hegemony in the field of psychology was challenged by this lecture. Jung started to explore the idea of the collective unconscious in this publication – a shared reservoir of experiences and symbols that have universal meanings across cultures. Building on his earlier works like the "Diagnostische Assoziationsstudien," Jung delved deeper into the nature of complexes, describing them as emotionally charged groups of ideas or images. This edition is a new edition with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. This manuscript has been updated into modern English spelling. Here Jung presents his critiques and expansions of Freud's original psychoanalytic ideas. This work is notable for Jung's departure from Freud’s emphasis on sexuality as the primary driver of human behavior. Instead, Jung introduces broader psychological motivations, including his early ideas of the collective unconscious and archetypes. This text was critical in defining Jung’s break from Freud and establishing his unique approach to psychoanalysis, which incorporates both personal and collective elements of the unconscious mind.

Psycho-Physical Investigations with the Galvanometer and Pneumograph in Normal and Insane Individuals

By: Carl Jung

This is one of Jung's early clinical experiments utilizing a new technique created by American Psychologists and is one of his earliest publications. This is the second academic paper he published in English. Originally published in English in the "Journal of Neurology" in London in 1907, this edition has updated the manuscript has been updated into American English for readability. This new edition contains an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. Jung's experimental research into the association method and the psychogalvanic reflex, his study of mediums and his links with Swiss psychiatry had many unique alliances with the American scene, particularly because of the similar historical relationship between psychology and religion. To understand Jung, therefore, one must consider the archetypal significance of America for Jung's own process of individuation, as well as the subsequent Americanisation of Jungian ideas. The galvanometer is an instrument that measures electrical conductance, while the pneumograph measures respiratory function. The study aimed to assess physiological responses in both normal and mentally ill subjects when exposed to different stimuli and situations. The results of Jung's experiments provided insights into how physiological responses, such as changes in skin conductance (measured by the galvanometer) and respiratory patterns (measured by the pneumograph), may differ between people with and without mental illness. These differences may have helped researchers and clinicians to better understand the psychophysiological aspects of mental disorders and may have contributed to the development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in the fields of psychology and psychiatry. Jung was particularly interested in how these physiological responses, such as changes in skin conductance and respiration rates, might correlate with emotional states and unconscious psychological activity. This research aimed to demonstrate that mental illnesses could manifest in measurable physical reactions, providing empirical evidence for the existence of unconscious emotional complexes. The galvanometer, for instance, detected changes in the electrical resistance of the skin when subjects were presented with emotionally charged words during a word association test, reflecting the activity of hidden complexes. The study had two primary goals. First, it sought to illustrate the link between physiological responses and emotional states in both normal and pathological conditions, thereby lending scientific support to psychoanalytic theories about the unconscious. Second, Jung aimed to show that these physiological measures could be used to differentiate between mentally ill and healthy subjects, offering potential applications in clinical diagnosis.

Medical Report on a Case of Simultaneous Mental Disorder

By: Carl Jung

Jung's 1904 book (Original German: "Ärztliches Gutachten über einen Fall von Simultation geistiger Störung") analyzes the case of a prisoner. The prisoner exhibits a mixture of genuine psychological disturbance and deliberate simulation, which complicates the psychiatric evaluation. The analysis reveals a mixture of erratic behavior, hallucinations, and paranoia, along with signs of deliberate deception. Despite the individual's family history of mental illness and some physiological abnormalities, the report concludes that while he was not mentally ill at the time of the crime, his mental state was influenced by his psychopathic and hysterical traits. This case study highlights the complex challenges of diagnosing mental illness in forensic settings, especially when simulation is involved, and underscores the need for a comprehensive and nuanced approach to such assessments. This edition is a new translation from the original German manuscript with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. "Medical Report on a Case of Simultaneous Mental Disorder" (Ärztliches Gutachten über einen Fall von Simultation geistiger Störung, 1904) is a forensic psychiatric case study in which Jung examines a prisoner’s mental state, combining his clinical insights with legal considerations. This work demonstrates Jung's early application of psychoanalytic ideas to legal cases, particularly focusing on the complex issue of discerning genuine mental illness from intentional simulation (or malingering) of psychiatric symptoms. The case centers around a prisoner accused of fabricating mental illness to avoid legal responsibility for a crime. Jung’s role was to assess whether the individual's erratic behavior was due to a genuine psychiatric disorder or whether the symptoms were consciously feigned. In his detailed analysis, Jung identifies a mixture of real psychological disturbances and deliberate simulation, complicating the psychiatric evaluation. The prisoner exhibits symptoms such as hallucinations, paranoia, and erratic behavior, which, according to Jung, can partly be attributed to pre-existing psychopathic and hysterical traits, but there is also evidence of intentional deception. This report was important for highlighting the difficulties psychiatrists face in distinguishing between authentic and simulated mental disorders, especially in forensic settings where the stakes are high. Jung's observations in this case stress the need for a nuanced understanding of mental illness and malingering, underscoring the limitations of diagnostic methods available at the time. He calls for a comprehensive and careful approach in psychiatric evaluations within legal contexts. The significance of this work lies in its early contribution to forensic psychology, an area that continues to grapple with the challenge of distinguishing between genuine psychiatric conditions and malingering. Jung’s detailed report laid the groundwork for later developments in both clinical and forensic psychiatry, particularly in the use of psychological assessments to determine criminal responsibility.

Time, Quantum and Information

By: Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Weizsäcker

This publication centers on the extraordinary ideas in and concepts of physics of th CarI Friedrich von Weizs?cker. At the time of his 90 birthday on June 28, 2002, it seems the right moment to try such a survey. The themes of two Festschrifts for CarI th th Friedrich von Weizs?cker on the occasion of his 60 and 70 birthdays (E. Scheibe and G. Suessmann (eds. ): Einheit und Vielheit, and K. Meyer-Abich (ed. ): Physik, Philosophie und Politik) were his unique capability to encompass physics, philosophy and politics. He may be more known publicly today for his efforts for containment of the Cold War nuclear threat, for the abolition of war as an instrument of international politics, for the social responsibility of scientists, and for the Conciliar Process of the Churches for Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation. But physics has been his primary professional vocation and has always remained in the center of his thought and life. But even in light of the physics focus of this book, it would not do justice to CarI Friedrich von Weizs?cker to re strict his achievements in physics to efforts only accessible to professionals. The contributions in Part 1 show how his very concentration on physics has led him to take an active part in problems of politics, social change, philosophy and religion.
