Transformation Symbols

Jung declared his break with Freud's psychoanalytic school with his Symbols and Transformations of the Libido, which he first published in 1912. The book soon became his best-known and most influential work. Jung, who wanted to reorganize his work for many years because it represented a transitional situation in the development of his theory, was able to realize this wish only in 1952.

In Jung's own words, Symbols of Transformation is “an expanded new commentary on a practical understanding of the prodromal stages of schizophrenia. The symptoms of the case form the Ariadne thread to guide us through the labyrinth of symbolic parallels, that is, the details that are absolutely necessary if we are to determine the meaning of the exemplary situation.”

In tracing these parallels, Jung draws an interdisciplinary path and draws on religion, mythology, ethnology, art and psychiatry. It deals with many works from the West and the East. Determines the relationships between image, symbol and myth; Explains and interprets the causes of dreams, fairy tales, legends and fantasy images based on archetypes.
