Psychogenesis of Mental Disease

Psychogenesis of Mental Disease is Volume 3 in The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, a series of books published by Princeton University Press in the U.S. and Routledge & Kegan Paul in the U.K. It was edited and translated from German by Sir Herbert Read, R.F.C. Hull and Gerhard Adler. The book shows the development of Jung's thoughts about the nature of mental illness, and established him as a pioneer and scientific contributor to psychiatry. It contains On the Psychology of Dementia Praecox (1907), which Abraham Brill described as "indispensable for every student of psychiatry". Also included are nine other papers in psychiatry, from The Content of the Psychoses, (1908), to two papers from 1956 and 1958, discussing Jung's conclusions after long experience in the psychotherapy of schizophrenia.[1]

The Psychology of Dementia Praecox (1909).

The latter nine papers show Jung's original thinking about the origins of mental illness and give insight into the development of his later concepts such as the archetypes and the collective unconscious.[2]

Extensive detailed abstracts of each chapter are available online.[3]
