A Primer of Jungian Psychology by Calvin S. Hall, Vernon J. Nordby

4.0

I picked this one up kind of on a whim and, frankly, enjoyed it way more than I expected to. The author write in a way that (to me) was very clear and didn't read like a textbook, yet I still learned a lot. Having known next to nothing about Jung before picking it up, I felt it was a good introduction. There were several ideas here that I found myself using to describe my everyday experiences, and many seem to be mimicked in some of the research taking place today, though often under a different name.

It is worth mentioning that this was written in the 70s, so there are a few moments where the language is...regrettable. I'm not sure whether that language was the author's or if it was borrowed from Jung himself, though.

Overall this was dense at times but a good read!
