Collected Works of C.G. Jung, Volume 10: Civilization in Transition

Essays bearing on the contemporary scene and, in particular, on the relation of the individual to society comprise this volume.  In the earliest work (1918), Jung advanced the theory that the European conflict was basically a psychological crisis originating in the collective unconscious of individuals.  He pursued this theory in papers written during the 1920’s and 1930’s, focusing on the upheaval in Germany, and he gave it a much wider application in two major works of his last years – The Undiscovered Self, concerned with the relation between the individual and a mass society, and Flying Saucers, on the birth of a myth which Jung regarded as compensating the scientific trends of our technological era.  An appendix contains documents relating to Jung’s association with the International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy.
