Papers on child psychology, education, and individuation, underlining the overwhelming importance of parents and teachers in the genesis of the intellectual, feeling, and emotional disorders of childhood. The final paper deals with marriage as an aid or obstacle to self-realization.
Seems only 'Hung" is the only other reader who undersatnds Jung's ideas. The other reviewers comments prove what Jung predicted about the legacy of his writings. " I write for the few who will understand my ideas..." Jung will continue to not only be ignored by the institutions of both learning and practice. But also we see some general readers go on the attck, many of which are atheists, as I;ve come across this attitude toward Jung among the anti-religious. Essential reading for those wishing to continue exploring the depths of their psyche, dealing with the highly important subject, the influences of the psyches of the parents on the developing child. Atheists stay clear of Jung, its not meant for you....man that will surely get their blood boiling...

The book is full of excellent advice and insights if the reader has in mind that the material is about a century old. The core of what Jung wrote here is still impressively relevant, though of course some things are outdated. If you're interested in education and jungian psychology and is not particularly knowledgeable of both, then this is highly recommended. Straightforward and not too scholarly or dense.
