Time and Timelessness - Temporality in the Theory of Carl Jung

This book examines the development of Jung's understanding of time throughout his research, and the ways in which this concept has affected key elements of his theory. By exploring the differences between the work of Freud and Jung concerning time, and addressing inconsistencies found in Freud's work, an exploration of Jung's time theory is offered which provides a model greatly surpassing Freud's dichotomous approach.
